To the developers
This is an excellent application for the iPad. I would love to see a fully configurable multitouch gesture interface for your app that controls macs and PCs. Have you ever heard of fingerworks? They developed an excellent system for multitouch gestural computing. Apple purchased fingerworks and has been drip feeding the technology to consumers since the iPhone. I believe you are in a perfect position to jump ahead and emulate the fingerworks touch stream keyboard on the iPad. I don't have enough room here to go into details about just how advanced fingerworks was before they were shuttered. Please have a look.. Look up fingerfans and fingerworks. More gestures please..
On a different note: you shouldn't keep putting the keyboard away every time you want to move the cursor. The app should be able to tell the difference between a key strike and a mouse motion.

Perfect!!!
This app absolutely works! iCal notifications display, multi-touch gestures, iTunes controls, and on and on and on!!!
For the negative reviews: Do your homework and follow the developer's directions. After downloading the server app to my computer, I literally had this up and running in less than two minutes.
Buy this app and enjoy the slickest remote for your computer!!

Great App With little improvement nEeded
this app is very well made, Sometimes it has some lag when the network is under load like at a school network, but i have seen no lag so far while connected with my home network. I would recommend it to people who prefer a touchpad rather than a mouse especially Since it has a keyboard buit in, The only problem is that it will Capitalize The next lettter typed if you pause for a Short while

iPad & Pad Mouse
It seems to work and set up properly however the iPad app doesn't Seem to have the same functionality as the iPhone version. TheRE doesn'T sEem to be a manual on the web site.
My only real complaint Is that whenever i pause typing for more then a second or two It capitalizes the next letter. This hapPens Even in the middle of a word. The only solution i have found is typing without stopping, and of course thats not practical, i'M sure they'll fix it.
When they get this up to the level the iphone app is on i'm sure it'lL be a winner and I'll adjust my rating.

Good for now
I agree with the statement that the icons look as if they were upscaled. The biggest difference for me is the way the mouse actually moves. On the phone i would have had to increase the sensitivity. It actually feels like I have the entire monitor to move the mouse. (because I do)
Upside :
The main use will be HTPC and this will make it so I don't need a full keyboard and mouse to clutter the living room. This will be the best purchase for of everything that I have seen on the app store. This combined with an xbmc remote will be the ultimate htpc controller. Best of all i can surf the web on the big screen and share what i find with everyone around me thanks to this.
Downside:
For everything it has it also lacks. The best thing and the worst thing for me is that its just a giant glorified mouse. There doesn't seem to be enough difference from this to the air mouse for the iPhone. Shouldn't need to pay more than 2 in my opinion. The app launcher at the bottom is nice but as it has been said before its a little blurry. The media controller doesn't seem to work with "media player classic" (win) like the air mouse did. Haven't tried others yet.
All in all I am "okay" with what I got and if you have the extra money to waist then go for it. If not then go get the free version of air mouse and it will do about the same thing just a little differently. At least until and upgrade comes out.

Not as good as iPhone app
I bought this app expecting it to be as good as its iPhone sibling,
Air Mouse Pro. Unfortunately this iPad version feels very poorly thought-out and rushed. It's completely unusable horizontally if you want to type something. Its controls also look blurry, like the images used in them were scaled up versions of the ones used in Air Mouse.
The addition to the regular keyboard also takes up a lot of space (how do I toggle it off?) and the buttons are poorly organized and crammed together. How about instead of tacking all those buttons on top of the keyboard, they just have one extra row like the iPad version with a button giving you an alternate keyboard with the F1-F12 keys? I liked that the iPhone version had the control/command/shift keys separate from the other ones and clearly distinguishable since those buttons are used frequently.
I also don't understand why they took out the option to have a right-click and scrolling area when this app has more room to work with (I wasn't a fan of tapping with two fingers on the iPhone and am still not on the iPad).
There's so much potential to make this app better than the iPhone version. Hopefully they clean it up in future versions.
