Comments on VLC Remote Lite for Android

★★★★☆ Robert Lee Aka Cancel-Proof · Mar 15, 2023

Just insulted haven't even started for the first time yet but had to make a comment after reading all the reviews, and I'm hoping this is a lot smarter than the reviewers. Listen idiots any app that you might share something with will require your phone permissions how the hell else is it going to share so that also means your contacts because that's who you're going to share it with SMH dumbasses

Great setup instructions (I did it manually, and it was super simple, and they provide screenshots). I'm very tempted to pay for pro, and I wonder if it lets me set the renderer output, so I can pick a Chromecast.

★★★★★ sahasurara · Apr 2, 2022

I had this set up in 5 mins, and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. Only problem so far is that I haven't worked out how to switch subtitles within the app. If I can do that then I'll pay for this whether I need the added features or not because this is exactly how I want to shop for the apps I need. Thank you for this. Much better than trying to do it through remote pc. Edit: VLC won't play subs when casting to tv, so it's not the app's fault.

★☆☆☆☆ Stella Rimington · Aug 20, 2022

Pointless. You can't pause video and cannot play from folders. I have the paid version on my phone and was helping a client over the phone, they said the app doesn't work. I just tried this on an old android phone and sure enough, no pause option or play from folders. Only option is to pay £2.89.

★☆☆☆☆ Kay · Feb 21, 2023

For some reason this, once well-loved and worked without any hassle nor confusion app, malfunctioned and stopped working all together as VLC remote for the program on the compute (even if yiu are on the same exact network and have a comparable android device). Not just this ~ lite ~ version of the app doesn't worm, all the other ones stopped working all together as well!! Has this really became the very last of the good times with, once dependable and the BEST media player to use??
