Wish I knew that before the purchase.. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect. *2015-03-13, version 1.1.2* Quick to load, easy to set, gesture response time is instant. To feel more intuitive as a desktop keyboard/mouse replacement, I recommend: the addition of up/down/left/right arrow keys to the mouse screen, the up/down scroll gesture direction (of second finger) be inverted, and the keyboard be able to type on-screen in real-time, rather than sending input in batches as if text-messaging. I am unable to make in-app purchases. Nothing happens after I select my purchase choice. ### 5/5 — Pretty simple idea done well *2014-03-21, version 1.1.2* Great for what I need it for -- a simple way to access and control my mini. Simple, connects with the desktop app quickly.
