Comments on VLC Mobile Remote - PC & Mac for Android
★★★★★Petter Lindberg· Feb 8, 2025
I want to buy it, maybe. Only if I can select renderer and send the video to my bedroom Chromecast. I tried the free version but can not find it and there is no beta version to try the features.
★★★★★Danette Chaulk· Dec 3, 2024
This VLC remote is one of the most useful apps I've ever installed. I went ahead and bought the lifetime membership to unlock all the features. A+ for the app developer.
★★★★★Vladyslav Riabkov· Feb 23, 2026
Amazing app. Easy to control the VLC playback and browse the playlist the design has evolved a lot since I first used it.
★★★★★Neil Joinson· Dec 26, 2024
I watch TV via my Windows PC, so this is really handy for me. They've been around and reliable for a long time now, so I trust them.
★☆☆☆☆Ilaine Marjoribanks· Jun 23, 2025
No longer connects to my computer. I bought a lifetime license, but I'm getting ads. It seems the developer has abandoned this app. Do not buy.
★☆☆☆☆Daniel Brinsmade (Danny B)· Apr 3, 2024
This was a great app when I could use it to power off my computer and control other apps. Now it only works when vlc is open. I've tried reinstalling out on my pc and mobile app, and it's still trekking me it can't connect. Fix the app! It was great. Now it's horrible. Windows 11. Android 14. It worked fine, but they're not updating things the partner app doesn't work
★☆☆☆☆Philip Edwards· Dec 9, 2023
Could not open a video file to watch unless I paid extra, the list of upgrade options I needed to buy to use this as a remote was long, it sent repeated notifications to my watch nagging me to buy an upgrade, I can't recommend this app at all.
