A great idea in theory . . . . – Control! Mac - Remote Control, File Browsing and Video Streaming for Macintosh Review

I bought this app the same day as I bought HippoRemote, which I gave 5 stars! They do different things, HippoRemote controls my Netflix viewing while on "Mirror Display" from iMac to TV. Controls volume, forward/backward in movie, switching from normal display to mirror using a macro set up in Hippo, putting Mac to sleep and waking and turning up/down the streaming music/news volume I listen to on computer. "Control!" has some other functions not in HippoRemote. Up/down volume (but a slider, not a tap button, sometimes hard to handle as I have an x stand for iPhone, and have to remove iPhone from it to change volume). You can watch streaming movies from iMac to iPhone . . . except every time I I try this with even a small movie it crashes! A great iTunes player . . . but I don't see how to change playlists, and have not received an answer from developers. And a few times I've been thrown off the network . . . usually when viewing the Finder or Sibelius or some other program on my computer. Once, I had to quit Control as the cursor on my computer would jump erratically when I tried to control it from either the iPhone or the computer. A great idea for an app . . . just not ready for prime time!
