PowerDVD Remote App 4+

No updates in a year and that’s 2 versions of PowerDVD in that time and the app is useless. Worked last with my old PowerDVD 14 but here we are and version 19 doesn’t work. Current release is PowerDVD 20 and I won’t be wasting my money on another upgrade. Player interface covers the Disc menus in TV mode so I thought I would use the remote but no luck.

Besides controlling the Powermedia app, it will allow you to use your iphone to control you windows 10 pc as a wireless track pad. It was activated via the Powerdvd Ultra16 that I bought but it seems to work after I close Powerdvd 16 on the PC( there is some kind of resident program noted in the task bar. Note that this makes this a viable controller for navigating a pc that you are sitting close to in an app that has a TV mode. Like TV mode of powerdvd16. It is very cool and worth the sale price of PDvd16 of $35 per single pc. Only issue now is it won't recognize other pdvd16 servers other than the first one it paired with.

This would be a really useful app if I could use it to navigate while using my chromecast. Unfortunately it only really works for TV mode which doesn’t cast anyways. The development team needs to think about how all these pieces work together. I feel like I paid for software that is unfinished.
