Good App

By ecolucci (Pcmac user)

This app allows me to control my Mac OS the app application without mouse or keyboard. It also has most essential features of the desktop application available for use on my iOS device. There are times, however, when the app "refuses" to see my computer, and it can take 10 minutes of fiddling before control of the the app software on my computer is restored, which is annoying. Update: July 9, 2017: The "computer-sensing" problem indicated above appears gone, and I revise my rating to 5 stars.
Volume and playback do not work as advertised with some outputs

By RocketLauncher (Pcmac user)

Purchased this app to play *.flac files and to use as a standin for the iPhone remote app from apple. When this app works, it is nice. I don’t think this app is ready for prime time. I used the free app for one day and figured I’d upgrade to be able to browse and add files. When I add files from the app, the playlist function fails and reverts back to the first song in the media player’s library (as listed). Essentially you cannot choose to start somewhere in the song listing and listen sequentially: the player automatically reverts to first song. Also, the volume function works only when not editing a playlist/song list. Once you load new songs and try to play those, volume control is lost. People say this app is better than Apple’s Remote (which has its quirks) but this makes the app Remote not worth the $5 upgrade. Stay on the free version because it actually works as advertised. Very disappointed.
this is the review i made

By Localcretin (Pcmac user)

This app has everything I was looking for. Love that I can search through folders to find what to play next. Well worth the money. update: still very impressed, one issue, when you hit the rewind button sometimes instead of going back 10 seconds it jumps back to near the beginning of the movie/show. it usually only happens the first time you hit the rewind button and then you can rewind like normal.
Works Better Than Expected

By Apple in Cancun (Pcmac user)

I bought this app a few days ago to control the app on a Mac Mini connected to my big screen TV... I love this app. I can control everything like loading video, browsing, screen size, scrubbing etc with out leaving my couch to do it with the computers mouse. I cannot speak to how it works with any othe system but a Mac... but if you have a Mac and play your downloads/DVD using the app you NEED this app.
