Review title of Matthew Some instructions would be nice

It wasn't easy to get this working because there are absolutely no instructions on setting up the Kofi server. You need to enable and configure the web interface in the Kodi settings, and if you're running it on Windows, also make sure it's allowed through the firewall. This app didn't provide any clue about that, but fortunately I was able to figure it out by looking at the instructions for an Android remote Kodi control app. Also, when entering the server, it makes you enter an IP address and will not let you enter the servers host name. This means if your server's IP address ever changes. It will stop working (very possible in the typical home network set-up where machines get IP addresses assigned at boot. Finally, it took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get to the controls that let me start/stop/pause the movie that's playing. BUT, after all that it works, and it's fairly useful. I think if the author puts just a little more work into this, it will be a great app.

DevStorm responded on 3/14/2016 Thanks for the feedback. As per the descriptions of the app we assume that your Kodi and network environment is configured and setup for allowing remote control of Kodi by 3rd party applications. But you make a valid point in terms of perhaps creating a guide to explain users how to do this (or at least point them to the official Kodi site for reference). The concern around having to enter an IP address is also valid and we will definitely improve on that and allow for entering the host name to connect in a future version. We are doing a walkthrough video of the app and hope to have it available soon for users to see how to use the app. Thanks for the feedback and we hope to improve on areas you have highlighted.
