Loved this app and still do, but not as much as I used to. Worked really well on my old phones but I've been having some issues. it doesn't use my full screen, my phones touch controls are still on the bottom of the screen. Would love to see a better way to fast forward (like tapping on the screen like what you can do in youtube videos) unless I dont know of an easier way to do small amounts easily.

Worse than when it was free. Copying a movie to the device fails at the same spot every time and it loses connection to the computer... Can't seem to get around the issue. Oddly, I never had problems with this app before the dev started to ask for money. Edit: Now copying works but trying to do it onto a phone, when you try to press the (i) logo to select file options, you touch the side scrolling bar instead making it impossible to copy files. Unbelievable..

A glorious app that has brought me great joy. I tried to find a free solution to stream .mkv files from my PC to android phone before I knew about this, but none of them worked. Easy to set up and reliable. Best $3 I ever spent. I kinda wish my notifications bar would go away, but it's surprisingly easy to ignore. Still worth it.
