With Remote Control for Kodi and XBMC you can browse your video library on your iPhone or iPad; just flick through all of your movie thumbnails with your fingers, dive into a TV show and view its episodes by season, or start playing a movie or a TV show episode directly from the app.
Use Kodi or XBMC as your music jukebox and browse your music library directly on your device, and start playing you favourite album, song or artist with just a tap of your finger.
All information about your music and video libraries is cached locally on your device, and can be browsed off-line.
A full range of remote control features such as navigation, player control, and more is included. For text input the on-screen keyboard can be used, as if the keyboard was directly connected to the machine running Kodi or XBMC.
Designed for all sizes of iPhone and iPad devices, usability and robustness are key features. The app's user interface is designed to be clean and intuitive, building on interfaces and elements that are well known to iOS and Kodi or XBMC users. Optimized for all iPhone and iPad models that support iOS 9, optimized for landscape and portrait mode on iPad, and tested with large music and video libraries for optimal performance.

Reviews
Great concept but weekly done
Marzepam
It could be the best xbmc remote. Layout is the cleanest I've seen. Very easy to operate. Nice concept. So ... It could be but; - TV shows thumbnails don't load. You need to scroll max out to get them. - Some movies and TV shows from libraries disappear straight after they appear on the screen. - It operates only on libraries. No way to switch to sources view. - If movies library slightly bigger then on choosing movies it crash the app. - Remote can not be edited. There is huge space on the screen available but only few buttons. It's a pity because app seems to be well design and with great oportunities.
WOW!
XBMC Lover
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!
Great start.

It's a slick looking app but has many bugs. TV Show loading crashes the app but movies work fine. Items load nice and fast and the UI looks great. Hopefully the developer will fix the bugs and this will be my goto XBMC app.
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 XBMC remote available

Not perfect but the best XBMC remote available. Lovely iOS 7 interface.
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.
Not working anymore

It worked great for the pass 2 months, then all of a sudden it stopped working. There is no tech support, blog or trouble shooting. I think it's the new Kodi release that's making it obsolete.
Sounded great but was a flop

Apps has no real supper page or trouble shooting. Got the app but it won't connect and has very little config to check or trouble shoot.
