Amazing!!

I first got this app for my iPhone when my mouse batteries were dying as an interim solution and found it quite handy. When I saw it was a separate application, I almost didn't get it.

But then I did and I am SO glad! This app is amazing!! I thought it would be slow to connect. It isn't. It's FAST. This app is so good, I have turfed my "regular" mouse entirely. THIS is what I use. Period.

This app is worth every penny! Seriously.

Good, but not reliable

UPDATE: My iPad updated the app to the latest version. It now will not run at all on my iPad. I have closed all other apps and restart the iPad, but it still closes as soon as I open this application.

----------

The app is absolutely brilliant, when it works. It is very responsive and is just like having an actual trackpad, just with a lot more space and a lot more responsive.

However, the app seems to stop working at random times, and I have to reconnect it. The desktop client also uses a huge amount of system resources, which leaves the computer unable to complete simple task such as copy and pasting small files (this cant be done due to insufficient memory). This problem is solved when I close the process from task manager.

Sorry, I really like the app but it just doesn't work for me.

Stops working often

I got this for my HTPC. It works OK, but seems to be poorly thought out. It's missing some important keys like Tab and Delete. I wish the mouse click buttons would readjust themselves when the keyboard comes up. There have been a few times where it will stop working. For example, when I minimize the server to the task tray, I'll need to get my real keyboard and open a program like Firefox. It also seems to do it whenever I close a program, which is really annoying. Also, it stops working when Windows User Account Control pops up. I used the magnifying glass feature which is cool, but when I closed out of it, it again stopped working.

For 2.99, it's a very cheap alternative to a real keyboard/mouse and nothing more.

Windows 7 64 bit works great

I got this so I could run training from my pc but without having a big keyboard and mouse tethered and it works a treat.

I use a windows 7 64bit pc and the response from the mobile mouse is so smooth, it's like having a locally attached trackpad. No obvious lag and it even loads the icons down the bottom for all my pinned apps as well as previously opened apps.

Shame the iPhone version is a separate purchase.

Throw away you mouse and keyboard

This is a great app. I've only just downloaded it 5 minutes ago. I was using a free mouse app and it was ok. But did have all the features of mobile mouse so I thought it's only Β£1.79 or somin might aswell give it a shot. And it's well worth it. I have a logitech wave wireless keyboard and a logitech MX... Mouse both really good as I use my pc on my tv which is on the wall at the bottom of my bed. But now I won't have a use for them. Must buy!!!

Need a remote control for TV on Win Media Center?

Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted, and got. Don't get this if you need to see the remote PC's desktop content on your iPad. DO get this if you need either a Windows Media Center remote control, OR an extra remote keyboard/mouse. Brilliant.

crap for the $$$

I've owned and used the pro version of this for my iphone for a long time and even used the same on my ipad. I recently upgraded my ipad to the ipad 2 and unknowingly installed this version thinking it was the version I've already paid for and been using. To my surprise it was a rip off version of the original for the iphone that is so buggy I can't believe not only that I ended up paying twice for this app [once for my iphone and again for my ipad], but that they're passing it off as something as good or better than the original I've been using on my iphone. Place this in the spot where you've wasted money on apps. If you have an iphone and have this app already......don't waste the extra money. And P.S. Guys, it's not that good to soak us ipad and iphone owners twice!! This is a case where you pay extra and again for the ipad version and find it's crap for the $$$

Very nice, but...

I love this app, it does pretty much exactly what it's supposed to do, however, is it possible for the option to be added to turn OFF those mouse buttons? I can see why some people might need them, but I'm just using tap to click and two finger right click on a mac, so they end up just getting in the way :(

Also, this might be a bit more difficult, but is it possible to have a way to use pinching to zoom the whole screen or something? I usually use this when I'm watching TV, and sometimes I'll get an instant message from a friend and it's a bit hard to read it from my TV chair... would be nice if I could zoom in on that chat window a bit to respond... I'm lazy and getting up is hard :-P

One last thing... the media buttons can feel a bit small at times... and there's no tracking button for some reason, or at least I haven't figured one out anyway. Can the volume buttons be a bit bigger? I've got stubby fingers :(

Quality couch time!

Works perfectly, vast improvement over the free version, I just can't understand why others have a problem with it. If you are looking for a long distance mouse pad this is the one. Easy to instal, easy to connect and very easy to operate. Thank you.

Perfect

Have a mac mini connected to my tv, and if i were starting again with it I could have saved the Β£100 I spent on the bluetooth keyboard and mouse by just buying this. On the ipad it's way better than using a keyboard an mouse, so goo in fact i can stop recharging the batteries in them. Haven't tried it on the iphone/ipod but imagine it's good on that too.
