WOW!
Slick, fast, and clean. Had it up and running in less than a minute after downloading. Really like the interface, it's very intuitive - my two young children were able to instantly use it and didn't ask a single question, and it looks great on the Retina display. Was really surprised at how quick the interface was browsing movies. Nice job Gertjan!

The best
This is by far the most reliable XBMC remote I have tried. The UI is clean and easy to use. I use it on my phone and iPad to control XBMC running on my Raspberry Pi. It would be nice to have the resume option when selecting a tv show or movie from within the app.

Best remote out there
This is the only xbmc remote that keeps to the iOS 7 design language and looks at home next to built in apps. Always my go to xbmc app. Forgot to mention, this works flawlessly with XBMC 13 Gotham RC1.
