### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2025-10-22*

Put reflector 4 on my mac. Bought this app to connect to it. 

The two won’t see each other. Typed the connection code. Did not work either. 

Basically just wasted 9 Euros and uninstalled the app. 

Thanks for nothing.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it’s a scam

*2025-08-13, version 1.2.1*

Defunct on phone - if you are looking to send audio from your computer to your phone as advertised by this company, don’t buy this app. It doesn’t work and you will be out $10, then if you request a refund, you will be denied one. Outrageous that Apple is allowing this on the App Store

### 5/5 — Life saver

*2022-11-12*

I’m an English tutor. This Remote App along with the Air Parrot PC software makes teaching much easier and pleasurable.

### 1/5 — No help, no explanation, no support

*2022-07-15, version 1.2.1*

Rip off.
I wanted to cancel it in a minute I installed it, but there is no page found in the link to ‘Support’. It probably works only with Apple gadgets.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-05-21, version 1.2.1*

Total con. It’s not working.

### 1/5 — Non Functioning App

*2021-11-14, version 1.2.1*

Do not waste $8.00 on this app. Could not get it to function. Desktop version is buggy and glitchy. Help section in the app takes you to a “Page not Found” page. Wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2021-09-22, version 1.2.1*

This was a complete waste of money. No skip forward, no skip back, the two controls are tiny. They would have been better off moving the From and To options to a separate screen and making a usable interface for the app controls. It's still necessary to keep the Apple TV Remote (or another app) nearby to take care of volume, forward, reverse, etc. If it was a free app it might be worth the price. Certainly not worth 8 bucks when you have already bought the PC/Mac app for $16.

### 1/5 — It’s the previous reviews for me

*2021-09-21, version 1.2.1*

Even tho it is only like a handful of positive reviews I took a chance. I should have listened I wasted 8 bucks. Yo I’m so aggravated right now. I paid $15 the top of the year had not one issue none. Worked flawlessly. Haven’t use it AirParrot 3 and my HomePod since about June of 2021 not long but apparently long enough. It wouldn’t work. I decided to pay and download this crap app remote not even needed. I had to uninstall and reinstall parrot 3 and restart my pc for it to work. I have Windows 10, AirParrot 3 I paid $15 for and HomePod mini. I know have sound from my computer. I wasted like 3 trying to figure this out. This remote app is garbage it didn’t work still doesn’t and not sure what the point of it is. Save your $8.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-08-03, version 1.2.1*

Latency for the mouse movement was terrible. Due to the latency it was not usable to manage my presentation being displayed on my big screen TV even when I was right next to the computer. Could not see a way to get a refund of my money. I was going to use it with air parrot 3 but seeing that there is little support for this product I doubt if I will purchase air parrot 3.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2021-06-28, version 1.2.1*

The app works well, I would love to see the ability to fast forward & rewind a video from the app, can only do this from the pc on the media player I’m using.
Took a bit of looking to adjust the volume to a helpful level.
