The app no longer opens on Mac
I’ve owned this app since 2022 and it worked great for a long time. However, for months notes I cannot get the app to load on my MacBook M1 so i can use it when connecting the iPad with App. There’s no documentation and even after deleting and reinstalling and fixing permissions, it still is no working.

Great App, Minor Errors
Update: No longer working as of 2024-10. M3 MacBook Pro running Sequoia OS makes the app pretty much non-functional. Swiping with two fingers to scroll up or down with even a little bit of side deviation always activates the brand new “desktop view” now implemented in the new OS.
Looking for an app that could fully utilize my iPad’s screen as a trackpad. The trial idea was great and I used it for a week and was hooked.
Pros:
- Absolutely no lag at all due to cabled connection
- Gestures work well for not having pressure sensing capability like the normal Mac trackpad, assuming it works nearly the same as Apple’s Magic Trackpad as I’ve seen online
- 7 Day Trial really lets you experience the full app
Cons:
- In certain applications (for example, IntelliJ IDE), tap with two fingers for right click refuses to register (the same on the built in Mac trackpad works)
- Very rarely some gestures will not register, probably due to finger detection on the iPad side

Please make the app BLUETOOTH
Lets make this app Bluetooth and let Mr. Jobs rest in peace.
Works VERY well, even on older devices
I have an ‘old’ iPad Air 1 and this trackpad app works perfectly.
Also, dev responded to a question within hours.
Much good and high recommend!

Great, but…
Certainly better than paying $$$ for a Mac trackpad, but there are times when particularly after a sleep period, when El Trackpad overrides the USB and nothing else works, such as wired mouse
Doesn’t work well:-(
Part of the app works, but only partially. Sometimes a functionality simply suspends - e.g. scrolling - and is only fixed again when you click somewhere with the real-life-mouse. Or if you have more than just one monitor, then it occasionally happens that on a monitor the mouse movement is suddenly reversed, so if you swipe to the left, the cursor moves to the right, which means that you cannot even reach this monitor with the mouse cursor. Only with a restart of the app is the problem solved.
At 3.99 for this one single feature, I definitely expect this feature to work. (Latest MacBook, latest MacOS)

It would be nice if I could use my IPhone as a trackpad for Ipad
This app would be useful if they update it where I can use the IPhone as a trackpad to my IPad Air and Stage Manager for the most portable mobile office
Doesn’t work for me
Really nice idea but it doesn’t work for me I checked with iPhone and iPads…
Swipes pickup on iPad an swipe you out of the app
A good idea. I hope they can make it work. But it’s not there yet. I paid anyway because I want to support the work.
Needs more settings options and gestures support
Generally the app is working well but 3 things makes it unusable for me.
Cannot rotate the virtual trackpad, I would prefer to use my phone in wide screen mode.
3 fingers gestures like switching desktops became 4 fingers
Does not recognize long press or 3d press as click.

Can i have a full refund for this app purchase?
I want a full refund. I got it missunderstand before using it. So, I've purchased it even i don't have mac..haha. If it would possible, please let me know via the reply (Sorry to short english)
Great app
I was pleasantly surprised to find most of the trackpad gestures I’m used to working out of the box. It would be great if two-finger swiping to got back and forward in Safari works too!
Very good, but…
I really like the lack of lag when using this app but would like to be able to drag items around, or move a slider (as when using the trackpad). Moreover, an absolute tracking method, instead of relative, would be fantastic and would enable users to replace a Wacom tablet, when used with the Apple Pencil.

Inconsistent message
They offer a “one week trial” and charged me just right at the moment I wanted to activate “the trial” if you don’t want to offer it, why bother and show that message
Needs some bug fixes for zoom/right click but generally a huge money saver
I love this so far. I don’t mind the cord because it makes for fast responding. My main issues are that the pinch to zoom and zoom out is only good/precise for zooming in. When you try and zoom back out it goes in tiny increments rather than quickly. I like to be able to smoothly control my zooms. The double two finger tap also sometime registers as a zoom and often responds with a right click. I think this could be resolved by making the zoom a three finger double tap instead as the touch gets confused. I’m already finding this frustrating. I would also love the option to change the orientation to use as landscape as I have a smaller phone. If this were resolved (particularly the zoom) I’d be so happy as the rest so far is wonderful. I can’t speak to the rotation option as I haven’t used it yet.

Underrated app, quite great
I was looking for something like this! It’s actually very intuitive and really helps increase productivity as well as posture when using the MacBook as a desktop. There is some lag issues sometimes, and Bluetooth would be amazing. But overall very impressed. Would definitely consider purchasing after the trial.

Good but
It’s really nice and smooth, just wish it was wireless that’s all! Great app thanks
iPadOS 15 and Multitasking Gestures :(
Edit: iOS 15.3 brings back the option to turn off gestures meaning this app works as intended :)
Wow, finally I found a cool app that I love even with the cable. But iOS 15 disables the ability to disable the 3+ finger gestures. So be warned that you will not be able to use mac trackpad gestures with this app post iOS 15. (not the developers fault).

Требуется доработка!
Использовать кабель? Серьезно? Сейчас будут следующие модели телефонов без гнёзд и что тогда? Быстрее отказывайтесь от кабелей и переходите на Bluetooth или Wi-Fi!
Response from developer
Hi, wireless connections can be a good idea. But, please keep in mind that the wired connection was a design choice to guarantee reliability, no lag and basically no setup when using this app.
