Bad service

Bought this app and it's not working. I have disabled a lll firewalls and still it fails to connect. The iPhone app works fine but not the iPad app. I emailed the developer several times and have not had any response. The app has great potential but at the moment it's useless to me. DO NOT BUY THIS APP it's a rip off

Wheres the Cross Compatibility!!!

The app itself works well but why do we have to purchase a separate app if I want this on my iPhone too?

The application is exactly the same just adjusted for the ipad. I bought this app for ipad but i also want it to work on my iphone, can the developers please release this?

Another thing is that their should a button at the top to hide the dock bar at the bottom or to move the dock to the side or top as when im using the mouse trackpad with the ipad flat on a table my wrist easily touches icons on the dock which I didn't intend to.

Its a pricey app for its limitations but if the above problems are sorted then it will be worth it. The trackpad does work nicely though so thumbs up for that.

Just as good.

Being a mad fan of AirMouse for the iPhone, i was hoping and praying for a BIG vertion for the iPad, and was happy to see it here, was my first app perchase actually.

For those that know the iPhone version, their isn't much new in the way of functions here, which is no bad thing, in fact it's just what i wanted, having the same scale movement on the iPad is great.

The ONLY thing that I would like to see in the future update, is this.
When using the iPhone version in landscape mode, on the right hand side of the trackpad, their was an up/ down/ scroll sensor. Now, if you are like me and love using this thing as a VLC media controller (I use this mostly for my PC that stores my media, mostly movies for my larger screen), then you know this slide/ scroll sensor acts as a brilliant way to control the volume quickly and accurately with a graphic in the VLC displaying on your screen, this was one of the handiest media features in AirMouse, that is now NOT included in the iPad version when using the trackpad in landscape mode.

Its small, but it was bloody handy, so RPA, if you could PLEASE find a way to include this back in if theirs another update, it would make this a media perfect remote!

Wow, really great

This app has really come a long way, and is certainly a must-have for anyone using their PC as a media centre. A lot of work has obviously gone into making this.

Works Great

This app works great on my mac and pc.

IPad + this app makes my media centre a fantastic experience.

It replaces a cumbersome bluetooth keyboard (with trackpad) and mouse.

No issues with lag.

Fantastic.

Easy setup, elegant to use

Wasn't very clear that you need the server running to get the app to work, but once installed the app worked instantly. Elegant and very responsive. It's replaced the hard keyboard and mouse for my Mac that's hooked up to my TV. That alone would make it worth the three bucks but the software really sells itself.

Much improved

Functions have improved greatly in the last updates! Thank you for adding the mouse buttons! Awesome.

Also, more than anything...the enhanced keypad with the arrows an F keys are great...If you made a standalone app that added that function to the default keypad would rock. Haven't seen anything like it before. The arrow keys make it easy to move in a text field to correct 1 letter, my fat fingers can't seem to ever be able to select a spot in the center of a word.

Good, but it has issues

Try two finger scrolling a page in iTunes, and on an App page with screen shots try scrolling left & right. It's not very smooth... and its behavior is unpredictable. It doesn't seem to "lock on" to a horizontal or vertical scroll swipe as well as a Macbook's track pad. Speaking of that, there's no 3 finger gesture support and even 2 finger gesture support is limited. If this app did all the gestures of a Macbook's track pad, it would be killer--but it doesn't. Swiping to navigate web pages would be great (forward and back), for one. I'd also like to see a global sound feature to change system volume/mute no matter what app you're in. Keep up the good work... for me this is more of a novelty than a practical app until full gesture support on a Mac is supported.

NICE, just...NICE!!

If you already own this for the iPhone or iPod be ready to buy it again. That said, here's what I have to say about this AMAZING app.
I'm impressed. Basically, from a nerd-standpoint, it hijacks your system wirelessly and gives you control from the iPad. Install it on your buddy's laptop and hide around the corner if you want... open up applications, type in porn site addresses... but let's talk about REAL practical uses.
This program can be used several ways. Home Theater PC (htpc) for one; it's a great way to sit back on your sofa and control your computer from across the room. All you need is to be connected to your wifi router and you're all set, which is great because bluetooth use on the iPad is a battery killer (I'm using a BT keyboard right now) so... what can I say? WiFi-FTW!

Now, what's REALLY COOL about this app is that you can use it to control more than one computer. Let's say I'm using my desktop with multi-monitors but my laptop is running. So... I use the app to make my ipad do what I want my desktop to do... then I can change over to take control of the laptop without getting up. Now if you have several desktops running... you don't have to swap between mice and keyboards... FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

No pinch zoom! Like RowMote

Mostly good app but lacks ESSENTIALS such as PINCH TO ZOOM. When using on an HTPC or Mac mini it is very useful to be able to zoom in on text such as in safari WITHOUT leaving your trackpad screen!! As of now I have to switch to the competions row mote for this. More application specific controls would be useful. Volume control without having to open iTunes. More safari controls. Easier controls for opening and closing apps and maybe add Expose like feature for viewing open windows. Thanks for the app
