Comments on YouTube Remote for Android

★★★★★ Good idea Great idea of the app but you have to make a homescreen widget, then it will be 5* from me

★★★★★ :) Works great on the Xbox YouTube app.

★★★★★ Great app It's great. The response time is quite low (the moment you press a video it will start playing on the pc in less than a second) However some great improvements would be: -better UI -being able to use the share option of other apps to open it in YouTube leanback Else than that it's fantastic :)

★★★★★ Best greatest This is the best app ever I can watch videos on my Xbox 360 instantly.

★★★★★ Best App Ever!!! I love being able to control youtube from the comfort of my couch.

★★☆☆☆ So far Is not working :( does not play any movies it used to be better than you too the movies would play straight through now they don't even start use to be 10 stars not 5 now its not even a 1* :( wish they would fix it

★★☆☆☆ Sucks Couldnt even find how to get it to work as a remote whoever made this app needed to make it more simpler to complicated

★★☆☆☆ Okay, but it doesn't like whole videos Every time a video gets near the end, it skips it and goes to next, horrible for music. NOTE: this could be a TV issue

★★☆☆☆ stupid no need its very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very stupid! ugh
