YES! For Gesture feature!!
By MoneyMakin'P (Pcmac user)
All the naysayers about the gesture feature...why bother having a remote on your phone? The gesture feature works well & the ability to now switch BETWEEN the old fashioned button mode & the gesture mode is great & should appease you.
I manually had to go through and Get Content Info for a few of my movies...& that brings me to the keyboard feature. It's awesome.
Please fix the typing issue. Any special characters or spaces results in "20%" between the words. While it seems to still search & find the videos just fine, it is still a frustrating bug.
All in all a great app considering how it started.
I will say that the volume is a bit twitchy. If I turn it all the way down the sound is off. Anywhere in between it seems to stay the same.
Doesn't really bother me, but you guys should look into it just the same.
You should add the ability to swipe through your selections on your phone, rather than having to be watching the tv & selecting it that way. I'd like to be able to select a film for my child without having to view the tv. Almost like mirroring the image from your tv to the smartphone. I'd be happy with this. No video playback needed. Make it happen and this app would be beyond measure!

Previous version please
By cjardi03 (Pcmac user)
The gesture sensitive box made much more sense to me. Why have 5 individual buttons when you have a box that can do it all? Please make it so we can switch between the two remotes or something because this defeats the purpose of a remote on your phone. I feel like I'm using a difficult version of the regular remote because I can't feel the buttons. Now instead of swiping or tapping a large box that knows what I want it to do, I have to look at my phone and make sure my thumb is still where I want it to be.

Great update, great app.
By Bulwer-Lytton (Pcmac user)
Happy to have keyboard back. Still love the swipe nav. Really liked the previous incarnation, but this unexpected update is a delight. Takes into account the differences between an iPhone and a tactile button remote with the new swipe navigation feature. Also very easy to find the power button – upper left-hand corner.

Awesome but needs some improvement
By Chris 547 (Pcmac user)
It is a great app if you are lazy to get the remote, but it takes way too long to connect. Otherwise it's great!
