Does exactly what it says it will do - reading the description helps
I never understand people who dont bother to read the description of an app, download it, and then get upset because of some imagined flaw in the app that surprised them even though its i the description! Case in point - this app. Its awesome. It does exactly what I need it to do, which is allow remote control of movies I copy to this app in iTunes. I am not upset or surprised that it wont play movies downloaded with iTunes. Why not? Maybe because I read the description and it says clear as day that it will not play DRM material, including iTunes movies.
To blast an app and give one star because it doesnt do something that the developers are telling you upfront it doesnt do is just stupid, and an abuse of the review system.
That said, Im giving this app five stars because it does everything the description says it can do, and it does it well.
What would make it even better?
Add playback for .avi files, that would be very helpful.
And I dont know of this is possible, but it would be nice if the auto-shutdown of the iPad would kick in if no movie is playing. On long trips my daughter watches movies in the car and she usually falls asleep at some point. Even if I stop the movie playback the iPad wont turn itself off.
Those features would make a great app even better.
