User Reviews

Smart Kodi Remote is praised as a top Kodi controller with a clean touch interface and broad device support (Raspberry Pi, Xbox One), helping to consolidate control from a single device. However, reliability issues and usability concerns are noted by several users, including occasional non-functionality, difficulties with playback controls, and UI quirks. Some updates fix issues for some users, and there are frequent feature requests (keyboard input, power button, easier volume access).

Pros

Best Kodi remote app; highly recommended by multiple reviewers.
Intuitive touchpad/swipe interface with a central click; simple and uncluttered controls.
Works across devices (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Xbox One) and consolidates control from one app.
Pleasant, easy-to-use UI that many reviewers find improves Kodi navigation.

Cons

Reliability varies; several reviewers report the app doesn’t work or is not functional on their setup.
Some users find the interface confusing or not intuitive.
Playback seek/gesture controls can fail for some videos (reported by multiple users).
Volume control is moved to a hidden menu or otherwise less accessible in some updates.

Recent reviews

It needs an off switch or to be precise a power button to turn off Kodi and shut down the pc at the same time. For now it gets a 3* rating.

For the most part I really like the app except I can’t seek in a movie or TV show at all. Neither the slider or the gestures are working. The movie just keeps playing. Also as was already mentioned...a keyboard would be nice. Device is a 5th gen iPad running iOS 14.4 and Kodi is the latest 19 on a PC running the latest Windows 10. I have 1280 movies and 26 TV shows. The gestures work in the menus but the gestures and the slider do nothing while playing a movie. Another update....I just installed the app on my iPhone too and it does the same thing. Is there some setting I’m missing on my system? Kodi, Windows, virus protection? Like I said...the gestures work in the menus fine. Another update. I tried it after disabling my virus protection. Still no working seek slider or gestures in a video. Update: Slider and gestures fixed and works great! Great response! Thank you!
