### 5/5 — More Intriguing ...

*2025-10-23*

I passed by a review of this app. I thought, "What for?" But I acquired a copy a week ago - and it is very interesting. Their Web site said it was a time-saver. And it really can be - as you set it up and place your favorite routines and apps. I am using it with a iPad mini A17 and Satechi Aluminum Hub. It is set up right in front of my mouse - so it is "right there" to access with minimal effort. I am liking this app more and more as I get to know it. Customer support is great, too.

**Developer response:** Thank you for explaining your setup for others! I personally switch positions for it between center and right by the mouse.

Excited to see what you think of new capabilities over time!

### 5/5 — Optimized the way I work significantly!

*2025-10-22*

After downloading it and using it, the discovery of the power that this gives me is revolutionary! My workflow, access to everyday apps, and general productivity has increased! Flowy helps me focus on high-ROI work, while simplifying monotonous work and “click” work! If you’re reading this, just download it, and give it a shot! You’ll thank yourself you did! 😎

**Developer response:** 🙏 your support is appreciated!

### 5/5 — GREAT App!

*2025-10-21*

If you own an iPad, you need this app!

**Developer response:** Appreciate the kind words!

### 5/5 — Very Cool

*2025-10-17*

Very cool app - using the iPhone app and iPad - love it!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the support

### 5/5 — Great utility app

*2025-10-14*

I’ve been using this app for two weeks now and it’s been amazing. 

I understand there’s some cool stuff built out for developers for apps like Ghostty, but (as someone who is not a developer) I’ve mainly been using it for the ability to switch through my Chrome tabs on my iPad. There’s a sidebar that shows all the tabs I have open and it’s in real-time. I usually have 12+ tabs open and it’s easy to see which one I’m actually looking for on my iPad and just tap on it to get there. It also knows when I’m on a different Chrome window and shows tabs depending on which window my mouse is on which is really nice.  

As for other features — I also find it a lot easier to switch through different apps using the flowy keypad. I’ve set it up so that my main apps are on the very top of the keypad for easy access. I’ve also added a 10 minute timer to my keypad for work breaks. The voice/dictation features are also really powerful — I find myself using the ‘type for me’ key a lot especially for emails towards the end of the workday.  

Love the product! I’m really impressed, it’s already saved me so much energy.

**Developer response:** Great to hear! Will be improving the voice experience over time.

### 5/5 — Interesting take on ergonomic

*2025-09-24*

This helped me hack my workflows on my Mac. Make sure you use the iPad version only though. Hope they properly support iphone soon
