Loved this app and still do, but not as much as I used to. Worked really well on my old phones but I've been having some issues. it doesn't use my full screen, my phones touch controls are still on the bottom of the screen. Would love to see a better way to fast forward (like tapping on the screen like what you can do in youtube videos) unless I dont know of an easier way to do small amounts easily.
A glorious app that has brought me great joy. I tried to find a free solution to stream .mkv files from my PC to android phone before I knew about this, but none of them worked. Easy to set up and reliable. Best $3 I ever spent. I kinda wish my notifications bar would go away, but it's surprisingly easy to ignore. Still worth it.
Nothing but errors. This app used to be amazing but ever since it went to a paid "updated" version it's been nothing but a headache. Cant connect to my pc most of the time. Downloading to device freezes every 4 minutes of progress and wont complete. Such a disaster from an app that used to be amazing. I used to be such a big fan of everything vlc for so long but this is just garbage. So disappointing. And i bought and tried the paid version becauase what it USED to be was well worth it.
What can i say? The app is amazing. A quick 5 min setup on the pc end to start streaming movies to your phone. Thanks for the app !
Love the app been using it for years but i would like it to give a better time option for skipping times on andriod coz i know i coild skip 10-30 sec on apple but android lowest u can go is 3mins which is annoying other that love it
An excellent application!! Very intuitive and accommodates you're streaming needs perfectly...
Purchased, tells me I must install "helper", is an endless loop without a "helper" software available
Great for what I need. I just wish it would remember where I paused when I return to the app.
The best media player ever
Sporadically not seeing any of my disks and video Then I need to uninstall a nd reinstall
works as described, would recommend.
has been working for me
Not what I thought
I bought this for my iPad...Apple notorious for making your life difficult. Liked it so much I bought the full version....then i got it got my Android devices. Awesome app. You can never have enough ways to watch movies😀😆
Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Already had home network setup on pc so it works a treat
Its a good little app that does what you want it to, with only a few minor niggles. 1. Shorter time skips would be great, sometimes I miss something and have to fiddle with the slider or go back 3 minutes. 2. No resume watching function. Apart from that, you've knocked it out the park.
Only gripe about this app is that it doesn't remember where you left off in a show. If you accidently back out of a show and you open it up it starts from the beginning. I still love this app, it works really well, mainly. I'd love to see the option to stream audio!
Great app. Would give 5 stars if the square circle triangle buttons would hide during playback.
Very easy to use!! I love it!
Excellent..does. just what it is supposed to do.
It meets my needs - streaming and watching videos
Could be better
Working great now thanks.
The iOS is a very solid app, the Android vers is a little buggy, crashes, doesn't start shows where you left off, no gesture controls.
No interruption in streaming even when I casted from my Nexus cell phone to chromecast.
Needs to be fixed
1. No gesture controls. 2. Takes a LONG time to process. 3. Extremely resource intensive. 4. No option to pause processing, select multiple movies, change default resolution (which is VERY low).
Very useful; I can stream media files from PC to my android tablet without using up SD card memory. Or transfer the file if I choose to download it....it really works well once set up properly, and the user guide is easy to follow.
convert slowly, can't support tv out
Worse than when it was free. Copying a movie to the device fails at the same spot every time and it loses connection to the computer... Can't seem to get around the issue. Oddly, I never had problems with this app before the dev started to ask for money. Edit: Now copying works but trying to do it onto a phone, when you try to press the (i) logo to select file options, you touch the side scrolling bar instead making it impossible to copy files. Unbelievable..
