This is just stupid. I just use the actual VLC app from video lan for free. Not a trial or demo the full VLC player app for free to use on my phone and across other devices. It's available for windowsOS for free as well. It's a great open source player and played all if not most formats. You can use it for multiple things too. Like ripping DVDs/blu-ray, burning DVDs/blu-ray. I'm even able to use it as a video capture device from VHS to digital on my PC. I just don't see the advantage of paying $20 for this when you get use the real VideoLan player for free from the actual developer.

Useless design and functionality, awful customer service; the sort of “take it or leave it”

La aplicación es muy completa y útil para controlar remotamente un Mac. La pena es que el precio de la versión pro es completamente disparatado.

Definitivamente, não tem nenhum vinculo natural com a gratuidade do VLC. Não acessa a videos, a não ser que você compre a versão paga. PROPAGANDA ENGANOSA.

This is really helpful. The only thing that I think would improve it is the ability to play/pause from the lock screen. Is this something that is possible?

Hi devs. Great app thank you so much. However, when opening the app it pauses the file playing on the laptop. Which is problematic for me when I’m running a non theatrical cinema! Would be great if this bug could be fixed. I’m running it on an MacBook Pro 2017 and and iPhone SE latest
