Leave a Review Rowmote Pro for Mac
Best money I’ve spent on a app
Used this app for years. Wish they would update it to play nice with my new iPhone.Bragawd
Needs update for iPhone X and XR still
Currently on the XR and the full functionality isn’t there. Works great on my old iPhone 6 but on XR it doesn’t fit the display and buttons are not all working etc. Please see what you can do dev team.batta1ion
Excellent
Having tried virtually every remote app since the initial iPad 1, I’ll never understand the low adoption rate of this app.
On the negative side, it’s no frills nothing fancy.
On the plus side, it works. It works. It always, since the initial release, works. It’s infinitely more functional and versatile than any other HTPC remote app or the Apple Remote. It’s super simple to use.
This is the only interface my family will use to watch Plex. There's an Apple TV4 sitting on top of our media mini. But when it’s time to watch Plex, the tv input is immediately switched to the mini and someone reaches for an i-device. For the simple reason Rowmote always works.
The fact it works without our ATV4 in the chain is an added bonus. The ATV is hardly the paragon of stability. It also takes the Plex app/Infuse/MrMC and all the others out of the loop. Users of these apps will know the value of this statement.Show lessxgh
The track pad does not work
I have been using this app for years now, it wasn’t until recently that the app started acting up. Everything works amazing except the track pad does not work on my MacBook anymore. I deleted and downloaded the app again but it did nothing other than paying for the pro version again.Ozzy ochoa

Its my favorite portable mouse / keyboard but please make a watch version !ItsRealLove
Best Mac remote control app
I’ve been using this app on multiple Macs for years. Works every time :)hemcinnis
Review & possible non-connect workaround.
Been a happy trouble free user of Rowmote Pro for many years. Since I’m terminally lazy, Rowmote Pro’s ability to allow me to control my computer, using either my iPhone or iPad, without having to physically get up and go to my desk across the room, seem like a minor miracle! Although, my physical fitness has taken a major downturn as a result. Be warned!
But with my recent iOS update to 11.4.1 from the previous 11.4, I started experiencing connect issues on my iPhone 6 but oddly enough not on my iPad Pro which also is running iOS 11.4.1. If your also experiencing a similar problem, I think I might have a simple workaround till the developer and/or Apple figure out and correct the problem! If Rowmote Pro after launch searches but is unable to connect successfully to your computer, shut it down, open control center and switch WiFi off then back on, on your device. Then relaunch Rowmote Pro. It should now connect with your computer successfully. At least it’s worked ever time for me. Hope it works for you as well!
And remember if people give you pain for being “lazy”! Please inform them that finding faster and simpler ways of doing everyday mundane tasks, which is just another way of saying a lazy way of doing it, has probably been behind most major scientific advancements for the last 150 years! So take that you overly physically fit people!! 😝

Great
I think this is the best one out there, however sometimes it does take a while to connect or gets lost. What would be even better is if the volume button were mapped since I need to use command volume to change the system volume on my iMac with my Apollo preamp.dadateyont
A must have remote app for Mac!
I have this app for years and it has never failed me. Seriously, when I can’t get Bluetooth keyboards to work or remote apps to wake wake a stubborn Mac, this is the app I turn to. When I want to sleep my monitor at night, this is the app I turn to. When I’m listening to Pandora through my home thanks to airplay speakers and this is app I turn to for control of the music. I cannot say enough great things about it. It’s great anytime you have a Mac connected to a tv directly or through an AppleTV.
Honestly, I hope the developers don’t mess with a good thing and just keep it great. I have read the other reviews, so I’m curious was others think.Show lessHungry Phoenix
Rarely connects
Half the time I try to use this app it can't connect and I have to use my MBP to remote into my Mac mini to control it. Pretty useless app if it rarely connects. This app needs a lot of help to be useful.anonymous439024
