User Reviews

SYBU for Kodi is praised as a reliable, easy-to-pair remote with a clean dark UI and a rich feature set, including precise time scrubbing, a full keyboard, and gesture-based navigation. Users call it their go-to Kodi remote, noting stability and strong playback control. However, several reviews cite regressions after Kodi updates, notably broken rewind/fast-forward and jog/skip controls, plus queue and UI changes some want reverted or customizable. Some report Wake-on-LAN/power features failing after updates. Despite these issues, many still regard it as one of the best Kodi remotes available.

Pros

Easy to pair and very stable; widely described as a go-to remote that works every time.
Clean, modern dark UI that is intuitive and visually appealing.
Rich feature set including precise time scrubbing, full Kodi control, and a built-in keyboard for typing.
Gesture-based navigation and mag-button scrolling for smooth control.
Power features such as closing Kodi and remote device control (Wake-on-LAN supported).

Cons

Playback controls (rewind/fast-forward and jog/skip) can break after Kodi updates (notably Kodi 19+).
UI changes in updates (new icons, smaller movie titles, queue changes) with requests for reverting or customization.
Wake-on-LAN/power features may stop working in updated menus on some setups.

Recent reviews

This app does not list tracks in order from your music libraries and when skipping tracks it randomizes your music by following this disorder. When trying to browse albums it shows recently played music in the track list instead of the album tracks in order. Absolute garbage. I have no idea how other people are using it but it is horrendous for music.

This App was my favorite remote control for 4 years until Kodi 20 and a new version of The app ame out andas we speak in 2/14/2023, this app does not show the movie thumbnails...Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, pulling the screen down to update the contents and several skins in Kodi...Yes, the setup in the app has enabled all of the options...I tried the “Official Kodi Remote” from Apple’s store and that app shows the thumbnails but it is not as near an app as SYBU....

This app used to work great but for the longest time I’ve been getting an error message saying “check Kodi setup”. Not sure exactly when it started because I mainly used Sybu as a back up remote. Would love to get it working again but I’ve tried everything and haven’t had any success getting it to work.
