Official Kodi Remote Reviews

by Me342314

I finally removed it because there’s no way to get rid of the pop up. There’s nothing in notifications or in OfficialKodiRemote to disable it, and every time I try to task switch back to the launcher, that stupid good morning banner is right in the way at the bottom of the screen, even with OfficialKodiRemote quit and not running! Now using Sybu, and it’s much better! No pop up spam junk.

I’ve tried OfficialKodiRemote with several devices over more than 6 months with different iOS versions and different installs of Kodi and it has never made it more than a few minutes without crashing. The worst app I have ever used. The frustration of trying to use it is going to put me in the hospital.

Developer breaks a basic function (volume up/down). I send support email, no response. Write a negative review, I get dogged and told to use the "standard reporting channels." Screw you. You may be "the official" remote app, but there are five others like your app and some are even better.

Honestly, you all are a joke. You break the volume controls, then expect us to be silent? I'd fire that person, except they are probably working for free and can't do any better.

OfficialKodiRemote would be awesome IF!!!!!! You would stop being lazy and add ignore A, An, and The articles so sorting movies is like every other quality app. Until this happens, OfficialKodiRemote is garbage. Others and myself, too many to count, have been begging, but you don't listen. No wonder The Remote For Kodi is the goto app.

This works really really good for me. But one thing, Please let us change what's on the controller because I don't use half of the buttons on the remote and I've accidentally clicked them a few times. But other than that it's excellent 👍

I really like having this remote! I just wish I could navigate to the remote control button style quicker without having to undo all my path navigation or deal with the fact that it’s on the settings sidebar.

OfficialKodiRemote was as simple to setup as it gets. It’s extremely responsive, and there doesn’t seem to be anything broken. Would absolutely give five stars if the remote buttons could be customized.

This works OK, but when I updated Kodi the autoconfig feature doesn't work anymore. I have to manually set up the IP of my box for OfficialKodiRemote to work. Once you do that, it works OK. Frustrating at the least.

I’m hesitant to ever update any app that works well and is bug free.

So, I haven’t upgraded to the latest version. Experience has taught me never to update what isn’t broken!

I’ll only update after sufficient time has elapsed and the new version hasn’t gotten poor reviews.

THIS IS A POSITIVE REVIEW, IN CASE ANYONE HAS GOTTEN THE WRONG IMPRESSION.

Great remote. One request: please add more vertical space between the buttons. For example, moving the row of four buttons at the bottom (the one containing the headphone icon) down a bit would make it easier to tap the back arrow without accidentally tapping the headphone button. There’s a lot of blank space under that bottom row that could be used to make the remote less cramped.

This works great on Kodi via the Firestick. I love that I can view add-ons on my phone which is much faster than searching on the Firestick. I wish I could go to add-ons from the main screen.

OfficialKodiRemote was always the best remote available. It is great it finally has an update to support modern screens and OS’s!

App crashes when trying to go to Movie or TV Show list

As longtime Kodi enthusiast, I have employed a number of apps designed to work the program but none have had the quality and completeness seen in this latest version. I am a believer.

This has been my favorite Kodi remote since I started using XBMC. So glad to see it hasn’t been abandoned! Thank you for your hard work dev!

by Gadkarisid

This is by far the best remote app for Kodi. I just wish it had a widget so you can quickly control playback of audio/video without needing to open OfficialKodiRemote every time.

It's awesome that the developers made the keyboard automatically appear for text entry, and enabled copy/paste in the keyboard. I just installed a copy/paste keyboard as a workaround a few days ago!

by Delquist

The remote controls are easy to use. Great stability and speed. Works great with Raspberry Pi OSMC. I tried a few other remote apps, but this was was at least 2 times better than the closest competitor.

by Cardiomurse

I love OfficialKodiRemote . I would appreciate the option to “right click” for more options. If there is a way to “right click” already, would someone please show me how.

Thanks
Brent.

Been using this for over a year now without any issues. Straight forward and simple, has all the functionality I need. Worrying about my remote should be the least of my issues when I want to watch movies, and with this remote I don’t need to worry. Thanks to the developers!

I installed on my iPhone as I bought a new Roku smart tv, the first time I opened it and it connected correctly and worked great, the next time I tried to use it it will only say connection timeout, I know it was free but a one time use doesn’t help anyone at all

by Gregory Paul

I have no clue what shows are what by looking at this little ribbon of a picture. What a stupid change that was.. please put the titles back. Wake on LAN is broken on iPhone, and It should disregard "A, An or The" when sorting. Otherwise it works great!

by WorldWideRob

Doesn't wake up screen saver when the clock is on the screen. You can hear buttons clicking and the video playing just no video.

UI could be better but current app is more than enough to control Kodi.

by Bwoolley1

This thing does exactly what it’s designed to. Absolutely no complaints.
