iRemote for Kodi

Somewhat impressed by the idea to make you write a review in order to use features. The rating in the app is what made me choose it, but then require a review for the free upgrade? Of course ppl are gonna write good things. We'll see how this goes when I upgrade and what value it brings. Until then, I doesn't find or do anything for me. Can't edit the servers like I want to. Hopefully this upgrade will "unlock" that feature. Here we go...

The shortcomings of the standard Kodi remote are it is ugly and complicated. This app looks nicer and is dead simple. Maybe too simple. Also it clicks. Not sure why this is. Remotes haven’t clicked since the 1980s. So this is very much like using the standard Kodi, slimmed down, and made prettier. It does also seem a little faster. But I wish it were smarter and hadn’t just sort of copied the standard layout. For instance I should be able to turn subtitles on and off with one tap, where there is only one subtitle stream. I should be able to switch audio with one tap where there are only two streams. That’s the right kind of simplicity.

I’ve been using this app for over a year and it had been fantastic. After the recent update to v2.0, several features I utilized (mainly the icon that brought play options in a drop down from the player) have been removed. While the interface is great for those who upload things to Kodi, for us that stream and enjoy subtitles, offsets, and volume amplification settings.... This is lacking severely now. I even emailed the developer about the issue and received no response about the issue. Two weeks and no response so far. Overall, it’s still a decent remote for Kodi... I just can’t stand the new update.

I tried using the remote that came with my Kodi box but it was lacking in the keyboard department as well as response, with this app I am able to search faster with less effort that I was able to do previously. Definitely a must for box users that do not want to buy a new remote or for PC users that wish to have a more ha dis free experience on their PC when it is connected to a tv or projector.

While I am unfamiliar with how Cody works on iOS devices, I was confident that it will designed and will develop dedication like this could help me figure out how to get it working as far as being able to stream content to my new Chomecast. I have read that this is possible -- it's just a matter of figuring it out, which leaves me feeling much more hopeful than I otherwise would be.
