Always loved this one, makes browsing through menus while keeping the video full screen possible, and being able to have multiple kodi devices linked up means I don't have to keep track of different remotes. One thing though is that I can never get it to automatically link, always have to setup manual, really the only thing I take issue with

This app is so awesome and useful it almost defies description. With it I finally have a phone app that I can control a music player with at home into which I've integrated MusicIP mix technology and and it's beautiful and sweet. Still there are a few things that separate this app at present from perfection: 1) If I search my library for music to play, and then play a song and build a mix, and go to the remote control, then come back to search, the library search is reset. Aaargh. This lack of memory is the greatest frustration that has me trying other Kodi remote apps out. I spend ages homing in on an album I want to sample I try a song, and come back and I have to start again .. 2) It lacks any clear means of rating music that's playing. I want to be able to rate a song I hear say 1-5 stars and then be able to find songs by rating. TO be honest I haven't even worked out how to coax that out of Kodi yet let alone Kore. But man if Kore had this it would be another step toward perfection. 3) Lack of a Lyrics display. Kodi has a Lyric add on that display a best effort at lyrics of a playing song. It is pretty cool. Shazam can do same for me and technically I can shazam the danged song that's playing but wow, is that a round about way of doing things. Basically if there were an option to display lyrics in Kore, yet again one step closer to perfection! These three things would move me to a 5+* rating for the app, unable to sing its praises far and wide enough. As it is its' rocking awesome but has these little frustrations at the cusp of what it might offer.

Good app. 2 suggestions: 1: Make the remote control buttons scalable so they show bigger on bigger screens, and move them up -- there's a ton of unused screen real estate there and it would work better for most users if the controls were centralized instead of being at the bottom. 2: Most of us have VPNs. So it would make sense to make it possible to use this app alongside VPNs. I suspect this is possible as is, but not easily. Thanks for your efforts/ consideration.
