Don’t assume you’ll be the exception

I thought “why not? It’s only $2, some reviews are good.” It does not work. Two different devices, three different mouses. I would like a refund but it doesn’t appear that ever happens. The owner/designer just suggests other trouble shooting methods, like using different devices/mouses, which I have.

Please try an older wired mouse with a Red LED - most people have one in a drawer or basement from an old machine. I have found mice with the Red led's work best. I have seen some Blue LED work, but many do not. I have reports that adjusting the orientation or elevation (with a piece of plastic) has helped some folks. Wireless mice won't work as they will go to sleep to save battery life. If this resolves your issue, please update the review.

Does work! At least for me

I am working from home with a Chromebook and a Citrix connection. Our timeout is pretty short, meaning I have to re-login everytime I go to the restroom or grab a soda from the kitchen. So, I downloaded this app, despite the bad reviews.

The developer has been telling everyone to look for older, wired optical mice so I dug out an old HP USB mouse. As long as it is squarely flat on the screen while the app is running, it works! It slowly jiggles the mouse up and down the length of the screen.

So we’ll worth my 2 dollars! Thanks!

I am so glad you are finding the app useful. I wrote it because I lived the same situation for years. For my personal use, I run 2 mice. One sits on an old 5C at all times with the app running. I adjust the app to minimize but not eliminate, mouse movement. Then use my other mouse for actual work. Please spread the word and thank you for your review.

Sad but true

I wish it had, but it doesn’t work. If you don’t believe me, try this first. Just try using your phone as a mousepad.

Spoiler: that doesn’t work either.

Only other thing, in fairness, is that i didn’t try it without a screen protector. I did try, just now, using an old iPhone (and took off the screen protector)as a mousepad and that didn’t work. So, I suspect that even without a screen protector, it would still not function.

😟too bad

Please try an older wired mouse with a Red LED - most people have one in a drawer or basement from an old machine. Try different angles for the mouse on the screen. My MS mouse only responds perpendicular to the screen. I have found mice with the Red led's work best. I have seen some Blue LED work, but many do not. Wireless mice tend to have issues as they will go to sleep to save battery life.
