Comments on VLC Remote for Android

★★★★★ Marty McFly · Aug 2, 2020

I wish more apps were this elegantly simple. I was looking for an app to control VLC on my media PC and that's exactly what this does, and it does it better than I ever could have imagined! Being able to browse my media from my phone is a really great feature. This app is almost perfect! The one and only feature I would like to see if the ability to change the color scheme since I've never been a big fan of VLC orange. Worth every penny and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

★★★★☆ Shaheed Tait (KaRBoN85) · Jul 8, 2025

Just what I always wanted. Works great!! Some fine-tuning is needed, for example long press a file to edit the current playlist etc. But still worth it.

★★★★★ Max · Jun 26, 2022

Works amazing well worth the money for this great software. Nice job devs!

★★★★★ Optimus Prime · Aug 9, 2019

Works better than the other paid vlc remote I just bought then found this

★★☆☆☆ Nick Voncloft · Dec 29, 2021

Playlist does not populate unless vlc is already playing, also password doesn't save even when checkbox is clicked

★☆☆☆☆ John Tserkezis · Dec 5, 2019

Works as advertised, but cannot install paid version on more than one android phone/tablet. Results in "already installed" but charges me twice anyway. Also, it requires VLC to be running, that's fine, but could you get the PC app to run VLC manually if not already running?

★☆☆☆☆ Kim · Apr 11, 2024

Absolute rubbish. Will not connect to vlc on a remote Linux system. The earlier incarnation of this app worked flawlessly. I can't believe I paid money for this! The help webpage is a complete joke and the support is non-existent. Do yourself a favor and avoid.
