Must have App for the MediaCenter
WOW! This app is amazing, I was having issues with wireless keyboard and mouse (becase distance). Just download and install PC or Mac software, allow firewall open the app and there you go. Very easy setup! I am trying this app for a short time, because I am definitelly going PRO!
Attention idiots
Please stop downrating this great app just because you lack the technoligcal prowess to use a computer correctly. First off, the reason that your firewall was alerted by this app is because it is an outside program trying to access your computer. This is set in place to prevent hackers, but since you are controlling it, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! For those of you thinking "the version numbers are different between the computer application and the iPod application, this won't work" you are wrong for several one simple reason. They are two different apps, so different version numbers will still work together. This app works on both macs and pcs, so don't get fooled by some of the people who say differently. Please read the download instructions before posting. The website is very clear and concise in its explanation of how to use the product. In addition, it has a test site that you can go to on your iPod/iPhone to make sure that it will connect with your computer beore you download it. Please note that if you are using a large public wifi, like at a college, then this app may not work due to the strain on the network and the dynamic IP address used to protect the network. I implore you to please remove your heads from your behinds BEFORE you get on the internet next time.

Better than expected!
For people who say it doesn't work, type in google "mobileairmouse" and download the setup for the computer and install.
Download the app and begin the application and it should work (you need wireless internet for the pc and your ipod).
It's great, it does EVERYTHING as described, highly recommended.

Ahem...
This is a fantastic app. For those of you who say it doesn't work...
1. You need wifi to use this app.
2. You must download the program on the website (found in description) to use it.
3. If it won't connect exit the program (on PC there's a little icon in the bottom right, right click and hit exit. For MAC...I don't have one so I don't know) and enter the program again.
4. For the idiots that think this is a sham...download it first. If it doesn't work see above.
Great app. Now I can surf the web while sitting on my favorite chair in the living room. For those who created this, thank you!

Worth the effort
I loved the idea of this and for free is brilliant. I'm not bad with technology but perhaps too impatient. Spent at least an hour messing around with firewalls and virus programs trying to get to work. I then eventually figured out if I put the IP configuration in manually and port into the app that was it, just worked!
Once it does it's fantastic being able to sit on sofa and use iTunes , surf the net, look at photos etc.
Turn to horizontal mode to give you a bigger trackpad as this feels much better.

One Minor Problem
I LOVE this app, I just have one minor problem, whenever I type something, then stop, and then type again, the app automatically puts caps on and I think that's a litle annoying when I'm in Microsoft Word and I stop typing, and caps lock keeps coming on! I think it would be better if you had a choice to turn this on or off. Overall, however, its an amazing app!

AWESOME!... At first...
I downloaded this app and I LOVED it! But for some reason, It only connected to my computer the first time, and that was it... I did EVERYTHING I could to try and connect it again, and nothing helped... I even deleted that app and the program off of my computer and redownloaded it, and it still didn't connect... But for the first five minutes that I did use it, it was flippin' amazing!

Nice
although this app is nice (easy quick setup, good response, etc), I don't see the use in it. It's basically like a smaller version of a trackpad except with no physical buttons (you can't drag-and-drop anything), only senses a maximum of two fingers so you lose many of the gestures that come with a macbook, and a tiny texting-like keyboard.
I think if you don't have an apple laptop, or you prefer your mouse off to the side for some reason, this app would be perfect for you. I got really excited when I found this app because I thought I could return my really expensive microsoft mouse. Wrong! This is not the same as a physical mouse, which you can move around. It's not as precise, though I guess I could play around with the acceleration and get it to suit me. And, It's definitely not a replacement for an actual mouse.

My favorite app so far!
This is just the app I was looking for. I was also frustrated with the fact that you have to download something on your computer to make it work at first, but with all of the prank related reviews, aren't you kind of glad that it's not too simple to set up?
Anyway, the free version is good and I'm definitely considering upgrading soon because the features look cool, it's inexpensive, and they deserve money for an app like this!

Great App
Love this app so much. Easy to install, works great. Thinking about purchasing pro. The additional features seem well worth it. Super smooth controls, just seriously love the idea of controlling my computer with my phone.
