Comments on VLC Mobile Remote - PC & Mac for Android

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Reuben Kaplan · Nov 26, 2024

So far so good! Reasonable paywall for the premium features. Everything seems to worl pretty seamlessly! Really hoping to unlock the premium features <3

★★★★★ Greg Johnston · Jul 6, 2024

Works amazingly well! Had one or two times when the app took a second to reconnect, but mostly it works seamlessly. There is no detectable lag in the controls. Was happy to pay $6 for no ads forever. Would like buttons to skip by 3 or 5 or maybe 10 seconds, especially in the controls' notification. Tip: to show the controls even while your phone is locked, go to "Notifications on lock screen" under "Privacy" in your phone's settings, and make sure that silent notifications are hidden.

★★★★★ 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.

★★★★★ Danny · Jul 31, 2024

Love the app! The full version is reasonably priced, so I bought it. I used smartphone remotes before, but this one offers most functionality One point of feedback: the app doesn't work on my galaxy watch 5. I just keep getting the prompt "Launch app". I tried changing permissions, redownloading the app, restarting my devices, and more. Nothing seems to fix the issue even though other apps sync well with my watch

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.
