I'm a user of MC since version 11. I actually used to be active in these forums and made a couple of plugins, but i've since lost those registration details.
I had to sign up again and just say how entirely awesome Gizmo for android is in it's latest incarnation. I thought i'd give it a spin, honestly expecting to have serious network issues and problems etc. It worked first time. It's an amazing app. I found the interface a little tricky, but once I found how to get to playing now with the playback controls (and volume buttons for volume controls, nice touch!) I've been a very happy bunny.
Then I had a thought that often i don't have a wireless network. So I wondered if I switched on my phone's hotspot, and connected the laptop to that, would that work? Boom, worked straight away, no configuration, 2 clicks and I'm back up with my android remote control!
So thank you JRiver! You have a unique, polished application here!
[only minor issue i've seen so far: in the playing now, it seems like the far left button would bring up the playing now playlist, but it's always blank for me]

+1 to Gizmo's awesomeness...
As far as the interface goes, have you tried setting up views under "options/media network/library server/webplay/customize views"? This menu allows the Gizmo interface almost as many customizable options as in standard MC views.
