Transform your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to remotely control your computer through WiFi. Extended keyboard, Multi-Touch Trackpad and Apple Remote. Tired of having a keyboard and mouse laying around in your living room? Get rid ...
Nice app but a real pain in the a because it keeps asking for login info for my Mac Mini each time I open the app         Continually forgets login info Samurai Short
I find this utility app very useful for controlling Keynote and PowerPoint presentations Great work guys                     Great for presentations ncognito
Super easy to connect and great response No lag so far Using my iPad this is easier with better control than the wireless mouse and keyboard I haven t tried all of the key extra control keys in the app but the touchpad is great catching and dragging items is easier than with my mouse People take your issues to support Thanks for a great free app                     Cool Better than my mouse crasshipster
Pls return theme options back as they were offered once It only makes paying customers more apprehensive about updating or continuing further business         Themes Removed lledix
Does not work out of the box connected with developers they gave me recommendation that didn t help and then disappeared I expected the app to have Mac OS X companion app that provides connection but instead they rely on system built in screen sharing ca abilities that do not work in one click     Does not work Maxx72ru
This app is a great idea However I can t make it work under El Cap Did email the developer not much help there Used to work with Yosemite Now I can connect and it confirms the connection but can t control anything Have tried all the tricks Seems to be a firewall issue of some sort     El Cap Problem Marhkco
Why dont you add the new 3d touch for iPhone6s It should be                     I love this app Duoksin
The icon is ugly     Icon fcloth
This wasn t a fix for third party keyboards The regular keyboard has lost the ability to include the predictive text bar and SwiftKey no longer works It fit like a glove before the update Disparaging             Worsened third party keyboards John J. Righteous-Hypocrite
It connects pretty easily if you follow the directions and it works but it s not a suitable replacement for an actual Magic Trackpad You can t do three finger touch tap controls like tapping to define a word or dragging to highlight text Plus the general feel of the glass screen just doesn t quite compare to the trackpad on the Macbook             Not a replacement for Magic Trackpad nastynapkin
There are too many wireless trackpad keyboard apps This is the best It works exactly the way it should without installing any software on your Mac You can even adjust the cursor sensitivity and change the scrolling direction from within the app To be perfect I would ask for the following minor improvements 1 Add support for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen resolutions so the app better makes use of these screens 2 Dismiss the Authenticating popup faster after locking with the app open then unlocking you can actually control the cursor and keyboard before the popup is gone I d rather this dialogue be turned into a dropdown info bar like the Connected to Computer bar 3 If possible maintain a persistent connection using a background service so Authentication is not necessary after locking unlocking or switching apps Excellent App worth every penny                     Best of class in a saturated field will4laptop
Landscape mode Please add landscape with keyboard and mouse functionality                 Does it all but Jshwa
This app does exactly what I need it to do AND the customer service is great I had a user error happen with the iPhone app I emailed the company and Steve helped me get back on track He was great So much so I paid for the IPad version This app is great                     Buy this app Zig to the Zag
The new update is great and brought back the features I had been missing Thanks for listening I use this app every day and don t know what I would do without it                     New update is great Adam J Hamilton
The previous functionality has been restored and this app can be used full screen again It s back to being the best virtual trackpad controller available                     Full screen is back woohoo3
Another vote for a full screen touch pad That s why all of us started using this in the first place Edit put my rating back to 5 stars because they listened to our feedback and included the full screen touchpad                     Full screen touchpad piano08man
This update fixes everything that fell short on the ios7 upgrade                     Thanks for listening GRBSSN
I feel like a jerk for saying this because the app itself is pretty solid except for 1 being very expensive and 2 setup could be tricky and requires Mac and iOS to be on the same WiFi network But the new icon is really hideous enough for me to uninstall it         Ugly icon Nutmac
This was a great app when I first purchased it months ago Now they ve updated it destroyed many key features trackpad is minimal useless now made the media buttons inoperable for many common media players and etc This dev team has lost their mind don t test their software and have broken a functional and high quality app for unknown reasons Find another solution I deeply regret that I purchased this given the most recent update Please do not waste your money on this     Awful app at this point avoid Xt 404937272
Please bring back the fullscreen trackpad I m sorry to have updated this app and lost that feature This app is much better with a fullscreen option     Trackpad Luciano131313
This app is basically useless on an iPad The trackpad area is TINY     What happened to portrait mode conduit110
Full screen trackpad portrait mode please put them back         Long time user disappointed Igottobeme
Love the app guys but really miss the full screen track pad Please bring back                     Why no more Full Screen Track Pad Exsomos
One of the best features of this app was the fullscreen track pad We use this quite often when we are using our Mac mini for which we have no keyboard or mouse The lack of a decent size track pad is going to make this app virtually useless for us Please make an option for a fullscreen track pad             Bring back the full screen track pad Cbfruihr
I hate this update     Nope katelbr
The updated app now finds my computer But it still lacks the full screen trackpad of the previous version Still annoyingly opens in night mode regardless of how one toggles the settings             A partial fix Books2718
The media player section has support for windows media player but Plex Has been dropped Why         What happened to Plex support 0.jimndeb.0
Worked fine before iOS7 and Mavericks     No longer working WOW Composer
I would like to be able to read the minds of those who take a good looking and functioning item and make it almost unbearable This used to be a well balanced minimalist app with descent icon to live on my phone s screen Now it s bad looking with missing functions such as of no possibility of hiding the keyboard and no landscape mode Terrible update         Good App Bad Update Yegor H.
This app served us well for awhile but after the update it doesn t even connect to our Mac mini Deleted immediately         Absolutely useless after update Avk1111
Colors are awful touchpad area is cut in half PLEX control is removed new icon is confusing Avoid         Bad Update MatthewOnTheWeb
This is one of the worst updated The colors are horrible the touchpad is now only half screen there are a bunch of useless buttons AND I can no longer connect to my computer It just sits there thinking I can t even add a new computer It makes this app worthless     5 0 update is horrible DON T update Sup3rn0vasky
Worked great until the update now the app for my ipad won t find a computer and the layout is clunky and won t flip     Ipad app no longer works Rob427829
App won t recognize computers on my network despite them being saved to the app previously Re adding them doesn t work since it won t save them either App is not usable as an update Hopefully first time purchasers fare better I m glad I didn t update all my devices This was a great app I hope the developer can fix the bugs shortly         Don t update kingyubba
I m happy to see this app finally get an update I use it quite a bit It s the best option I have found that doesn t require a third party app on the computer side Unfortunately we are losing key functionality with this update As another reviewer posted we definitely need the full screen trackpad functionality back The keyboard needs to minimize down to just the special keys as it did before A second tap on the top bar keyboard tab would be the most obvious way to achieve this Also the themes aren t working properly Theme changes won t stick and the light theme isn t consistent and is buggy         A few things missing pure7734
Whoa If you re not ready for a complete visual change don t update This will take quite some getting used to No more screen rotation Trackpad only mode Maybe I m missing something but my first thought is why         Quite the update KravFam
Hard to read with new color scheme Not a fan     Not a fan of the colors S12:1212@
The app will not find any computers Manually entering the info and saving does not work either The layout is very bad No more full screen touchpad You now have a small area to use but that doesn t really matter much because it doesn t work at all Until now I would have said this is the greatest app ever                     5 0 update is horrible Bufordw
Where are all the latest reviews I ve been using this app for over a couple of years now I steam from a laptop on to my HD TV screen Yes I use Roku of course too But something s like online classes etc I need my laptop for This app makes it simple simple simple to control my closed laptop So I can control the tv screen Love I m really loving the new look today too                     One of my Fav Apps Use it everyday ImNoelle
Since the app uses screen sharing to connect it forces my 2013 MacBook Pro to use its discrete graphics card This isn t worth the hit to battery life It d be better to simply use a built in background app on the Mac         Cool concept flawed execution Toph Allen
This app works perfect for remotely controlling my computer hooked to to the TV I really like that it uses VNC software as the back end instead of having to install another proprietary server app Great work                     Great for Home Theater Setups Brett Hamilton
Refuses passwords     Simply stopped working oakteam
I m using this on my iPad mini when my desk doesn t work This app starts up and connects quickly and does not require any software to be installed on the computer Its gestures are a bit different from a normal mac trackpad and it s really touchy Also because it emulates a trackpad using the remote desktop features of the Mac you can t use keyboard mouse combinations like Ctrl Click except using keys provided by the touchpad You also can t play DRM protected video on your Mac while this is connected I think this is a well written app an iOS7 update and some tweaks to make it feel less finicky when right clicking scrolling and selecting text etc would make it a five star app                 Works well Cap’n Ajax
Stopped working Can t find solution at Edovia support Perhaps not compatible with newest iOS I dunno Just frustrated Gonna have to find something else     Stopped Working Bigmo1988888

Refuses passwords     Simply stopped working
Full screen trackpad portrait mode please put them back        Longtime user disappointed
i like this app its so useful but I think it would be more easier to use if theres a portrait mode with the bottom half of the screen a trackpad and the top half keyboard the landscape mode keyboard is taking to much space and the trackpad is placed in an awkward position on the ipad place consider adding a portrait mode           greatish app

Ive been using it for over a year Works great Ive used it for main OS stuff and for Plex Ive even used Siri dictate to type for me My favorite part is that it works with Mac OS natively no app install needed                 Makes my Mac Mini great for TV

I love that I dont have to install software on my Mac to use this remote Just enable the normal screen sharing and get the iOS device on the same network and you are in business Top notch design and interface a professional tool for consumer price point Great value and the developer support is top notch                 Excellent app dont need any software on the computer
Doesnt always find your device Works sometimes For 499 this needs an update FAST           Works sometimes

Very nearly great It connects to and controls my iMac Air and Mini without difficulty Great except there doesnt seem to be a way to clickdrag for a text selection which cripples it for my needs Also though theres nothing software could do for this but the surfaces of my iPad and iPhone are too smooth and slick to give a good physical trackpad feel Its a small thing but definitely a bit of a roadblock for me           Decent but ultimately unsatisfying
I would like to be able to read the minds of those who take a good looking and functioning item and make it almost unbearable This used to be a well balanced minimalist app with descent icon to live on my phones screen Now its bad looking with missing functions such as of no possibility of hiding the keyboard and no landscape mode Terrible update        Good App Bad Update
Landscape mode Please add landscape with keyboard and mouse functionality              Does it all but
For some reason the key F is always coming up UPPERCASE in my pc that is not fun when your passwords use that letter Other than that it works        the key F always uppercase
Latest version is finally back to it original glory The theme is working now with my 5s and full screen works again              Finally
Okay what I want to do is have a Mac Mini I watch TV on and not bother having a keyboard I want to control my Mac Mini sometimes using TouchPad doing mouse and clicking effects but also typing passwords when installing software I want to be able to type on a Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad and have the text show on the Mac Mini thats being controlled This used to work I think but now it does not due to some new issues with iOS I dont appreciate having barriers erected between what I want to do with my iPad and Mac at every turn Please bring back Bluetooth keyboardthroughcontrolled Mac support or bring it to us if it wasnt with us in iOS 6x Then you will get 5 stars again        This WAS great but keyboard support went away
Worked fine before iOS7 and Mavericks     No longer working
