  • Perfect companion to an indispensable OS X app

    BTT on OS X makes it ridiculously easy to set any keyboard or mouse gesture you can think of as a shortcut to do a gazillion things, running apps / scripts, changing settings etc, either app-specific or system-wide. It's been working like a charm for me year after year, with regular, stable and well-thought updates. It's recently switched to a pay-what-you-can model, and the brilliant developer saw to it that BTT Remote full version owners were able to acquire a license. The original app makes using a Mac ridiculously faster and more efficient , regardless of whether the user prefers keyboard or the trackpad predominantly. The app is everything you could possibly expect in a companion app, and perfectly stable and fast.
    If you are a Mac user and haven't downloaded the OS X app, you absolutely should (has a long fully-functional trial period). Once you start using that, you'll most likely come back to this.

  • Wonderfully and thoughtfully developed software

    I have been using Better Touch Tool on my Mac for two years now and have been very happy with it. I recently bought BTT Remote and I am also very impressed. It's very easy to use, setup, and customize. It's very well thought out. I also like that it is in constant development with features being added and fine tuned regularly. I use Better Touch Tool to fix the trackpad gestures apple broke and BTT Remote when I have my Mac connected to the TV. Thank you for making great software, I would recommend both to anyone!

  • Better than Great. This app is ESSENTIAL.

    BTT Remote is an excellent trackpad app, but honestly, I don’t even use that feature I use BTT Remote as a way to turn my iPhone into a remote control for my Mac, and I love it. LOVE IT.

    It’s easy to do. Download the BetterTouchTool app for your Mac. In the settings, create a bunch of actions for BTT Remote. When you open the BTT Remote app on your iPhone or iPad (or both) the actions you set up will be there in a list. That feature alone is worth ten times what the developer is charging for this app.

    Seriously, BTT Remote is outstanding.

  • Reliable for years

    I don't know the developer personally, but I feel like I do. I work for a highly recognizable technology company, and recommend BTT and BTT Remote to hundreds of clients. This app and its sister OSX App for the mac have functionality and use that are unparalleled. Most office, living room, and bedroom setups can make great use of this wireless connectivity. i.e. My bedroom has a MacBook Pro setup with my flat screen and I utilize BTT Remote to operate its keyboard/mouse. Friends and family are always impressed by the custom trackpad gestures supported by the OSX App.

    Thanks for this great update, this new GUI looks awesome! I can't wait to see and experience more!

  • Worked where iTunes Remote didn't!

    This app is incredible! I am extremely lazy and I don't want to get up from my bed to control my music from my computer. I tried using the iTunes remote app, but I live in a dorm with an enterprise network. I went out on a limb when buying this app because I didn't know if this would work either, but after using the manual connect with IP address and port, I was able to use this app with my Mac without a hitch! The sheer number of things you can do with this app is amazing. You can basically control your whole computer with the touch pads and the custom commands. I haven't found any bugs so far. There are two touch pads for some reason that was not very intuitive, but they both work very well. I love this app, and BetterTouchTool on the Mac. I highly recommend this app and I look forward to using it daily!

  • Worth every cent!

    BetterTouchTool (the Mac app) on its own is indispensable with its highly customizable gestures and shortcuts but using it with BTT Remote takes my couch potato-ness to the next level. BTT Remote works flawlessly with my Mac most of the time unlike some of the more expensive hardware (read >$70) I purchased in a vain attempt to control my Mac from a distance.

    Trackpad usage is slightly cumbersome because the iPad and iPhone touchscreen cannot match up to the Magic Trackpad’s trackpad smooth(?) surface at this point so but creating "Action Gestures” allows me to minimize trackpad usage.

  • Great app

    I mainly bought this app to support the dev since I love BTT on my macbook pro and recommend it to all new mac users. I’ve tried apps like this before but never really cared for them, especially because they never got updated and required yet another server running on my machine. This seems like it gets good attention from the developer and what’s even better is I already have BTT installed on my computer so everything just works. I highly recommend it

  • The best trackpad app on the market

    This app is by far the greatest trackpad app out there. Not only is it a trackpad but you can control your entire computer with custom jesters and shortcuts. There is a keyboard that you can activate to type, you can see all of your files and easily navigate to which file you want opened directly from your iPad, and multi finger gestures work! This app was easily worth the money I paid for it and much much more.
