Software runs slow and is a little glitchy. ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-10-19, version 3.4* Need to enter IP address etc Not user friendly ### 2/5 — I dont understand it *2013-10-13, version 3.3* I dont understand ### 1/5 — work at the first time *2013-08-26, version 3.2* it was working when i installed and run it at the first . then.. can never connect again with adhoc option. this app is not userfriendly yet ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2013-07-09, version 3.2* Do not lose your time. ### 1/5 — Error!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!! *2013-05-05, version 3.1* When I bought this, I thought that it would be like on Microsoft where you could just start but No!!! It has all of this other stuff that you HAVE to read or else it Won't work. And that was just when I opened it!!!! And I've made power points before and I'm just 11!!! ### 1/5 — Malicious app *2013-02-03, version 3.0* I installed this app on my iPhone and the matching required app on my MacBook. It messed up my entire system, including bonjour, and then was nearly impossible to get rid of. I can't believe this even made it into the App Store. ### 4/5 — Works OK - Unable to see next slide on I/Pad - Perfect on I/Phone *2013-01-11, version 3.0* I tried mbPointerHD and this program. This program works well but does have a crash issue in the settings on the I/Pad. I did not have any crashes while testing it out on a few powerpoint presentations. Others may be experiencing crashes which may be due to certain slide animations, but it did crashed every time I pressed the help button in the settings on the I/Pad. mbPointerHD - basic program with no special features. This one is much better between the two. Pros: 1. Actually this is a a great thing. The ability to see the notes on the slides without having carry around a printout of the slide notes. I cannot say enough of how great the slide view with the notes on my screen. 2. The ability to annotate on the slide on the screen on the I/Pad. 3. WORKS PERFECT on the I/Phone (you have to select the notes or slide - you cannot see both on the I/Phone) 4. You can see the upcoming slide on the I/Phone 5. So sluggishness on the I/Phone. Cons: 1. Sluggish response - the slide would show from one to two seconds before the slide changes on the I/Pad. 2. The settings indicated that the next slide would show, but I could not get this to work properly. It would only show the current slide. 3. Free version only allows 15 slides to show 4. Free version does not allow you to switch shows while app is open 5. iClickr makes the user select the slideshow on the host computer first, not too big of an issue Bottom line: I would recommend this for short and easy presentations right out of the gate. I would completely test it on any professional presentation a few times before actually presenting with it. The slide notes view is great. I may step up and try the paid version and see if that performs any better. $10.00 for an app is a little high priced given the price range for most apps. For $10, it had better work great, but based on prior version reviews, I am hesitant. If it was $4 or $5, no hesitation. $10.00 with the reviews as they are for previous versions - worries me. ### 4/5 — What is this??? *2013-01-09, version 3.0* I have no clue what to connect my iPad to, and I'm just confused! Don't get this app!!! ### 4/5 — good with office *2012-10-13, version 2.3* good app, but first you need install the i-clickr on your mac or pc!!!… then the devices automatically connect. it works good with office, but on keynote you can't see the slides… the bad in office (keynote too) is the limit of slides in the free version… ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-04-29, version 4.2.2* Tried to download this, but it takes you to a website for AI and other things. It is clearly not well set up and trying to load extra junk on your computer. ### 1/5 — Does not work. Only ends with an error. *2016-11-13, version 4.2.2* I installed the software. And it's very clunky. You must connect which isn't too difficult your iPhone to the Mac. Then it will ask you to select your PowerPoint file. You cannot just have open a PowerPoint that you want to use, you have to go find it. None of that is too difficult until you start to try and play with it. I get an error that says unknown command on iOS. If then tells me I need to download and update the new version of I clicker for the Mac. The problem is I just download them both today. Why wouldn't it be the latest? The software is a waste. I would've considered buying the pro version if the free one worked even for the 15 slides it tells you it will. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2016-07-16, version 4.2.2* This does not work as won't connect, at least not with iPhone and Samsung. Tried both the scan feature and manual ip on the same subnet with no luck. Waste of 20 mins. ### 1/5 — 15 slide limit *2015-10-21, version 4.1* Worthless for me. I'm not sure I've ever had a presentation less than 15 slides. Before you even get to try it out they pitch you on the paid version. Get rid of the free version then. ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-08-08, version 4.1* The amount of time spent trying to get the app to connect is not worth the bother. The interface is clumsy and drop outs are frequent. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-05-01, version 4.0* Wasted my time with this app because the mandatory download for the computer does not work for Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 ### 1/5 — Epic fail!!! *2014-12-23, version 3.10* I tested this out and thought it was going to work for my presentation. When I went to use it in front of an audience, it lagged and wouldn't advance the slides. Then when it finally did it would jump several and was horrible! It gets one star because it's required but I'd like to give it zero. ### 1/5 — Won't connect *2014-11-05, version 3.9* The app doesn't see the remote host and won't connect manually. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2014-10-11, version 3.9* A waste of time. I spent a couple of hours trying to get this app to work but despite being reasonably IT literate I simply couldn't do it. Seems to require a programme called "Bonjour" to be installed on the host PC. After I lot of searching I discovered that this programme isn't available for download but is supposed to be a part of iTunes. Despite having the latest version of iTunes, it didn't include Bonjour and as Bonjour isn't available separately, I was stuck. But even if I had got it, I wasn't optimistic that the app would actually work as the screens I was seeing on my PC and on my iPhone bore little resemblance to those on the rudimentary installation instructions included with the app. So if you have a PhD in computer programming and enjoy a challenge, this could be for you. But for everyone else, it's just a very frustrating way of wasting an afternoon and I'd recommend giving it a very wide berth. A real shame, because if it worked, it would have been extremely handy. ### 1/5 — Lame *2014-01-29, version 3.6* Way too complicated for busy presenters and you have to pay if you have over 15 slides. Ya right. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2015-12-27, version 4.2.1* good app ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2015-04-15, version 3.10* Absolutely brilliant ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2014-02-19, version 3.6* Loving this app. Divert all your calls before you start. Run i-clicker on your PC or Mac then connect your phone n away you go. I use my 4g wireless hotspot to set up a wireless network. Works perfect. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-02-08, version 3.6* Quite good do buy only 2.99 ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant!!! *2013-11-09, version 3.4* Excellent features, design and concept - Exactly what I need for my short presentations and whilst the £6.99 price tag for the full version might sound steep, the functionality makes it well worth the purchase and I wouldn't hesitate. Thank you devs, excellent idea with superb execution! ### 5/5 — Absolutely fantastic! *2013-04-29, version 3.1* After struggling to find an actual presentation remote, I turned to the App Store in hope I would find something as I had to present a very important presentation on my mac book pro today. Downloaded this app and it has worked wonders! Even more than I expected! After I had finished, it saves the power points, so all I need todo is click on the PowerPoint from my phone and it opens on my computer! Absolutely delighted and smashed the presentation!! ### 5/5 — Tremendous *2012-11-03, version 2.3* This is a superb app that takes power point presentations to a higher level. I had some initial problems in some areas. Ray contacted me immediately following my request for help and has been absolutely outstanding in helping me. This is what customer service is supposed to be!!!!!!!!! Great job !!!!' ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC!!! *2012-10-08, version 2.3* This app is easy to install on both systems (laptop & iPhone) and very easy to use. Really fantastic for a FREE app - thanks!!!! ### 5/5 — Give it a chance! *2012-10-06, version 2.3* No one seems to give this awesome app a chance! If Microsoft would make their on version we wouldn't need this but they don't so a least try to get it to work and GIVE IT A CHANCE!!! ### 5/5 — Works like a dream *2012-09-11, version 2.2* This has to be one of the easiest installs ever. App works perfectly. You're not tethered to your laptop anymore! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
