Completely unreliable in Android I used this app in IPhone before and it worked like a charm. But after migrating to Android, the app proved to be completely unreliable, losing connection all the time and only randomly VLC accepting my commands. I was a loyal believer but now I have joined the legion of the disillusioned.
