Wildly Inconsistent on PC, don’t bother
The first time I downloaded and installed it, it worked great, connected easily. But other times it doesn’t connect at all, no matter how many times I try, even after going through all of their recommended troubleshooting procedures. When it does connect I have no idea why, nor do I have any idea why it doesn’t sometimes. I do note this relies on Bonjour, an Apple product that does not always work with PCs well. I don’t think they’ve updated their server software in a long time either, and I suspect their product has difficulty with Google Nest WiFi.
Either way, I can’t recommend it due to it’s inconsistency and the failure of their troubleshooting procedures when there is a problem.
Google has a Remote Desktop webpage that seems to work every time (and is free), so if all you want is some basic remote control of your PC, use that. Avoid this and avoid a lot of frustration.

Lacking instructions
I like it so far but am troubled by how often I need to use “shift” to select multiple items or folders. I can’t figure out how to do this.
Frustrating Dropped Connections
The connection between the app on my iPad and the Mobile Mouse server on my Mac Mini is frequently interrupted for a few minutes. This often occurs when selecting a menu item in Safari, such as quit. This has been true through recent updates, whereas the app performed flawlessly in the past. A shame.

Great
I’m a quadriplegic and use my ipad as a keyboard and mouse. I have tried all the mouse and keyboard options available and this is one of the best. Fast and responsive and enables you to drag and drop. Not perfect but one of my most used apps regardless.
Its biggest glitch at the moment is that it can freeze and disconnect when I access a dropdown window. I will contact the developer and hopefully they can fix this.
Overall a great app that does what it was designed to do.

This used to be great.
I used to love this, but it’s now dead.
The peer to peer Bluetooth and hardwire connection have not worked at all. I went out and got a Magic Trackpad at the apple store because it wouldn’t work. The sever probably has nothing to do with it, but I solved it by getting a trackpad. If you update it to work I’ll keep using it since I have a phone etc. I couldn’t handle the constant freezing and crashing.
I purchased this thinking if I use it peer to peer and hardwired I’ll have no problem. I was wrong. iTunes is no more so I don’t know why you still have that as a selling point.
Fix it or hand it off to someone that will. It’s a shame such a good piece of software is going to go to waste.
Don’t bother trying to look for something better than physical hardware touchpads because it’s night and day.

Just what I needed for my butterfly key problem!
My butterfly keys collect dust, and this is the best solution I've found to either obsessively cleaning the gunk or returning my MacBook to Apple for repairs. If your butterfly key's spacebar is giving you problems and the warranty has ended, here's a simple solution. (You can also use this at the same time you're using your native keyboard, meaning you can use your iPad or iPhone whenever you get to that one key that's a problem if it's convenient for your problem (maybe a numeral or the return key, etc.)) I am madly pleased.

Usb does not work
Bought this version, then bought the additional in-app purchase for usb connection. I meet the min requirements and can confirm this feature does not work.
Rip-off
Not too bad. Same price as the version that works cross platform though. The Other product by this dev can be used on phone and IPAD. This is just IPAD but the same app . TRASH
Worse than disappointing
Update: don’t use an app before into the developers activity...
I’ve tried to use this at the most premium level for a decade. It just gets harder to make it work. Every time starts with an update on both devices followed by a IT session to get it functional.
I still have to use my MacBook for essential functions. So what’s the point of it? This last one don’t work at all. I bought this around ten years ago to make things easier as it promised.... We’ve been paying to be lab rats the entire time. This app has never achieved what it set out (and claimed) to do. I know it’s hard as a third party provider.. that’s why you don’t launch something until you got it right..

Cursor does not move on my PC
I bought this for apple pencil recognition to Onenote drawing on my PC. But as I move my finger or Apple pencil on my iPad, the big cursor or original cursor on my PC does not move accordingly. Other things are okay, such as volume up, page skipping of power point presentation.
