### 5/5 — Functional, practical and seamless

*2026-03-06*

Honestly an amazing free app that works instantly, it’s really easy to use and I even use it on my desktop as a trackpad. I’m not sure if it’s possible but one suggestion that would make this app perfect would be a pop up keyboard on the iPhone for when you enter a text box on Mac. That would elevate it from a great game controller to a complete customizable remote control for the Mac with so many uses.

### 5/5 — Wow! Impressed honestly

Kind regards
