Download VLC’s Remote app for iOS and Apple Watch while it’s free and save $5

VLC Remote, the popular controller app for iOS, is now available for free on the App Store. It typically sells for $4.99 and has gone free one other time, but that deal only lasted a few hours.

This Remote app allows users to control playback of nearly any video file type using VLC on a Mac, PC and now Apple TV. You’ll have access to all playback controls, plus cover art, equalization, and playlists. VLC recently added Apple Watch support for even faster access to play/pause controls. This app is particularly handy if you already use VLC or have an extensive library of video files. Note: must be used in conjunction with VLC’s player app for Mac/PC. Rated 3.5/5 stars all-time.

VLC is a great, free and popular media player that can handle almost any file format.

VLC Remote® lets you sit back enjoy your movies and music while you control things from your easy chair.

It is a joy to use – no more reaching for the mouse when you want to pause your show, select the next episode, or play some different music.

VLC Remote will work with the iPhone 3GS and later. It won’t work with the iPhone 3g – but you can use Ye Olde VLC Remote on the 3g.
