Leave a Review BTT Remote Control
Fantastic! It just works.
Like many other reviewers, after trying many other apps out there for Remote Desktop controlling, THIS APP IS IT! Look no further.
What I love the most is that once connected I can control the volume of the computer (playing pandora in the living room) by simply using the volume buttons on my iPhone. And I can toggle play/pause just by shaking the phone!
Worth every penny! And the desktop app is great too. I use just about every app this developer makes. He is good!Show lessPrietoguy
Perfect App, Perfect Support!
Extremely pleased! All the features I wanted work flawlessly, even a few surprises like Retina Pointers when you start using the trackpad! This is the real deal, and since you're just going to run Better Touch Tool anyways, why run another background process when BTT is always running!? I was too dumb to disable sounds in notification center, I sent a support email and received a response over night! Get this app.Show lessimaraginasian
Well done!
I just downloaded this app. It is simple but elegant. The onscreen mouse pointer is much larger than the one activated by the Macs physical trackpad which makes for easy use from a distance because I can easily see what I am pointing at from the couch. I use it to control Netflix on my external monitor from my couch. I have used the better touch tool app on my Mac for years and love it. It is a perfect app and I was happy to pay 2 bucks for this just as a thank you for BTT but this app turned out to be awesome as well.
Ok so I just discovered the customizable gestures. This app really is just as powerful as the Mac counterpart. Again my main use is for controlling Netflix so I set the physical volume up button on the iPhone as "cmd f" which toggles full screen. The volume down button dims my macs display so that only the external monitor is on. And shaking my iphone activates the return key which pauses or plays the video.
Honestly this is just too cool. I am so pleased with this I may skip buying that bluray player with Netflix support that I was considering because I was tired of getting off the couch all the time to skip to the next episode.Show lessMaxPenny42
Way better than I expected
I've been using Better Touch Tool on my mac for well over a year now, and have always loved it. Its had its bugs, but the developer is very quick to release updates. I had high hopes for this app, and it exceeded them all. You can use the keyboard (with all media keys), use the trackpad (multitouch, with custom gestures), access the menu bar of any running app, access the file system and open documents (on your mac), and I am sure there are many more features I just haven't found yet. I won't need to use my wireless keyboard and trackpad anymore to watch streaming content on my TV, I've got this app!Show lessThomPattersonWI
Astonishingly good
I've purchased 2 different "remote control" apps that let me control my desktop and laptop using my iPhone as a remote control. BTT Remote and Better Touch Tool for the desktop are both free, and both of them completely blow the paid apps out of the water. In fact, I'm quite puzzled why this isn't a paid app. It's easily worth a fair amount of money, considering its flexibility, stability, and well-designed UI.Show lessStever777
Amazing app, one thing to improve
Amazing, little useful app from creator of BTT. Everything works flawlessly, this is a product of a huge effort, that's apparent. Little touches such as cursor getting bigger when controlled from device is very well thought out. One thing and this would be the perfect app: Add actual remote support on its own screen. I use Keynote a lot and I need to press next, before or those kind of few buttons without looking at the phone, and phone's light closed down not to distract people. I can add buttons the normal way, but their click area is so small that I can't tap without looking down.Show lessrolleix
Support BTT and get another awesome app.
I'm going to say what the other reviews have also already said - I bought this to support Andreas. BTT is the only app that I absolutely MUST have on my Mac. However, I was pleasantly surprised that this remote is actually very awesome.
Quick reasons to buy this:
(1) Its wicked fast - way better than any other trackpad app I've used before (and it doesn't require an additional server, since I'm running BTT already)
(2) Cursor automatically magnifies when in trackpad mode - very easy to see
(3) Automatic gestures are great, just like BTT. I can lock/mute my computer when I'm in a meeting on the other side of the building!
(4) You can access any menu item of any item from a list on the app (not from tracing the mouse through the menus). This is GREAT.
(5) Support Andreas Hegenberg and his awesome free application BTT!
You won't be disappointed.Show lessAndrew J Freyer
Cheap, Easy & Useful
Like another reviewer below, I have been using the free BetterTouchTool on my Mac for awhile and wanted to reward the developer whether I used this app or not. However, this remote app is so well done that I expect to use it daily (I already have BTT run on startup so I won't have to add yet another startup app to drag down my aging 2006 MBP).
It auto-detected my desktop immediately so was available within seconds. How much easier could it be?
Well done!Show lessotterman
Awesome--Thanks
I use BTT several times a day on my Mac. Next to Keyboard Maestro, it's probably the most used app on my Mac. Now with this remote app, there's no telling how much can be done with it. BTT has at least a hundred actions, and I don't think there's a remote app in this Store that can come close to what this app can do–not even those remote screen apps. So yes, thanks for this work. I gladly paid for it. This developer deserves every penny he earns for the work he does.
My only little suggestion would be is to get rid of the two fingers in the app icon. They make the app seem cheap and ill designed. Users of the app will understand its purpose clearly.Show lessBakari C
The best. Worth way more than $2.
This is 10x better than any remote or trackpad app I've seen, and it's priced lower! There are features others don't have and execution is far better. It seems very stable, responsive and it connects quickly to a server app you would already want to have installed, since it adds a whole list of extra options and functionality to Apple's limited trackpad customization options.Show lessbrandinojalapeno
