Excellent solution
Bought this app as a replacement for the media center keyboard in the living room. This app is a serious piece of kit. Well thought out, intuitive, smart and a absolute pleasure to use. Its app sensative smart keyboard is impressive software. I have only had the app installed for 1 hour and i am blown away!

Great app but server is memory hog...
This app is great. I used to have itap on my iPod touch but this app beats it many times over. But be aware that the server that you have to have running on your computer is memory hungry itself and you also need to have the bonjour service running too. I'm running windows 7 and the air mouse server itself uses about 48,000 K and then factor in the memory usage of the iTunes/bonjour services that you have to have running too. Overall, if memory isn't an issue with your system and you don't mind background programs running with a large overhead then you'll love this app. I want to give it a 5 star review but can't because of the memory overhead.

Awesome
I use a Mac mini to run my tv (eyetv)/music (iTunes) and this app has just done away with the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse I used to use! I used to have a similar app on my iphone, but it was always a little small ... In the iPad this is awesome!
This is now, by far, the most used and most useful app on my iPad ... And I love having the dock at the bottom of the iPad screen.
Keep up the great work!

Double
This app is the same as the iPhone air mouse! I don't see why it couldn't be modified to fit on the iPad also!
great, but there is one flaw.
I am very impressed with this app. While the new features don't merit the extra dollar over the iPhone application, this app was very optimized for iPad... Except for one thing. The scrolling is terrible. It's just disgusting, like using the clunky, primitive scrolling built into PC laptop trackpads. It repeatedly lost one of my two fingers while scrolling, and the page being scrolled frequently jerked around and had extensive lag. When this is fixed, this app will definitely merit a five star rating.

Works perfectly
Using on my media PC and now i don't need a keyboard and mouse(much). One annoyance due to windows is when altering settings you can lose the connection if the PC pops up with a permissions window (in Vista, seems to happen alot!) and you have to revert back to the keyboard to answer that window.
Very Buggy
Useless until fixed - don't get this app until reviewers have confirmed that it works properly. The main issue is that it often misinterprets what you're trying to do. A left click will be a right click, or a drag; the scroll bar use is intermittent as is two finger scrolling, etc etc. Get this app and watch your blood pressure go through the roof...

Works a TREAT!!!
I can't say how happy I am with this app, it needs polishing, but on my MBP and wi-fi, this app has replaced my wireless keyboard and made the MBP a near permanent part of the media cabinet
GREAT Job!
Only complaints, well complaint, the scroll features for the MBP aren't quite as smooth as the MBP touch pad, but very nearly replicate the track pad perfectly.
Oh, when adjusting the main system volume, having a visual reference would be helpful.
Can't wait for the next version!

A Very Bad Port
I'm not sure how you go from what is an amazingly well thought out and refined iPhone app, to this...a very poorly thought out port of the iPhone version. Aside from the application dock, all other aspects of the iPad UI are just scaled up from the iPhone. Even the two finger gestures feel like they are required to be too spread apart as though the finger spacing was just scaled up to the larger screen.
I would probably be more willing to accept this half assed effort if it had been rolled into a universal update to the iPhone version. Instead I had to purchase this app looking for similar quality to the iPhone version, but instead I just get a bunch of scaled up muck with seemingly no thought put into how the UI might be better served on a large screen.
I really hope you guys were just trying to get something out the door to fill the void and are planning a major revision to the interface. Otherwise I guess I'll just have to hope that someone else figures it out and my review will remain one star.
The saddest thing is that this is still probably the best available option for iPad remotes...

Great, but needs more multitouch gestures...
Love this program, though I don't like paying for software twice (iPhone and iPad version). Needs full multitouch gestures (one, two, and three fingers) to keep up with the competition, though.
