### 5/5 — Cool app, now I can watch movies from a distance

*2026-01-05, version 2.3.1*

I’m just a huge fan of BTT and was really surprised by the new app. Thanks to the developers

### 5/5 — Many features

*2025-08-08, version 2.3.1*

I have a complicated setup with my TV and sound system and use a fair bit of scripting to control it. This app and BTT allows my whole family to trigger those scripts.

Love it!

### 5/5 — Superb app

*2024-12-28, version 2.3.1*

Great app , thanks

### 1/5 — Ridiculous number of alerts

*2024-09-11, version 2.3.1*

Ridiculous number of alerts on reconnect attempts. Quite annoying. Not surprising though since this app has not been updated in forever.

### 5/5 — Legit developer

*2024-07-12, version 2.3.1*

He knows what he’s doing. Apps are very feature packed and charges a reasonable fee. I enjoy using the remote, but the better touch apps on the Mac are what really shines. BRAVO!

### 2/5 — Works good but desperately needs update

*2024-05-26, version 2.3.1*

Please oh pretty please update to accommodate the new screens, plus make it so that it supports the standard three/four finger gestures we‘re used to from MacBooks

### 5/5 — Best of the best

*2024-03-23, version 2.3.1*

Really very powerful application, I like it.
Would be great to add iOS widget or commands extension to make it more powerful!

### 5/5 — Funzt einwandfrei

*2024-02-22, version 2.3.1*

Keine Ahnung, was andere für Probleme haben. Hier unter Catalina mit BTT 4.403 funktioniert die remote App einwandfrei. Super Fernsteuerung für den Mac!

### 5/5 — Огонь

*2024-01-15, version 2.3.1*

Лучшее приложение, что я скачал за последний год для мак. Remote скачал просто чтобы купить его. Вот чем должны заниматься apple при обновлении mac os, а не скруглять/заострять углы в иконках!

### 1/5 — 骗子软件

*2023-09-05, version 2.3.1*

软件让你登陆官网，然后告诉你电脑不安全，让你安装他们的插件，插件会盗取个人信息。
