User reviews

Great app, won’t connect to Mac anymore

I’ve used this app for years but now with Mac Ventura or higher, it’ll connect but won’t accept keystrokes. My Mac just beeps as if it’s receiving an invalid character from the keyboard.

How to connect

Little to no instructions on how to connect. Great keyboard, just can’t use it. Download VNC server software. Unable to connect it to the app. Can’t get a NAME, HOST, PORT, or PASSWORD.

Set up instructions website not available

Frustrated with this. Instructions say go to website for guid3 on connecting computer but site is permanently down for maintenance. Money back please.

Does not work

I cannot get this to work - I am connected but nothing is allowing me to control it... not even copy and paste works

Good App but Faders Controls are lacking..

The app would be a perfect one if only it includes faders and wheel controls. Then it would be an all rounder for Audio, Video, Light etc. Please include at least one of them in next update. Really looking forward to it. Thank you..
