## What is Mouse Mover?

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR WORKSTATION!!!
Mouse Mover is an app whose sole function is to "fake" mouse input to your computer. Useful for avoiding screen-savers/lock screens that are triggered by inactivity. This means you can stop entering your password 57 times per day!

DO NOT CONNECT your iPhone to your workstation. Just place your mouse over the app screen on your phone. The proprietary/patented imaging technology fools the mouse into thinking it is moving - deactivating the screen saver/lock screen. (You may need to experiment with the angle of the mouse.)

If you're giving a presentation, or just watching a movie, and you don't want your lock screen constantly popping up, the Mouse Mover is the perfect app. 

Uses:
* Great for remote workers and telecommuters.
* Keep your chat software green during long lunches.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when you step away from your desk.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when attending a meeting.
* Great for presentations.
* Great for on-line training.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when watching a video.
* Keep your VPN up when inactive at your workstation.
* Keep workstation from going to sleep on long operations.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen when your attention is on another console.
* Stop a screensaver/lock screen from activating during an installation or long operations.


Features:
* Optional deactivation timer - keep your screen up however long YOU want.
* Unlike USB devices, this app is not detectable by system admins.
* Includes settings page to customize the app for your mouse.
* Compatible with iOS-8, so you can use that old iPhone or iPod.

you must disable auto-lock when using this app.

### 4/5 — When it works, it’s amazing

*2025-01-21*

Every once in a while, the screen automatically goes to setting screen which makes the times out the app and the laptop. It’s been happening more often lately but when it does work as it’s supposed to, it’s amazing.

### 1/5 — App does not work as stated

*2024-09-09, version 1.0*

Tested on two devices and adjusted settings - simply does not work.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit Logi MX Master 3

*2024-07-08, version 1.0*

Alle Kombinationen probiert, funktioniert nicht

### 1/5 — Review

*2024-03-19, version 1.0*

Doesn’t work with standard optical mouse

### 1/5 — Does NOT work at all!!

*2023-08-16, version 1.0*

I tried all the app settings and used it on an iPhone and an iPad, and this doesn’t move the cursor at all.  100% waste of money!!

### 1/5 — Läuft nicht

*2023-06-16, version 1.0*

Microsoft und tecknet Maus mit allen Kombinationen probiert

### 1/5 — worst app not working

*2023-06-15, version 1.0*

worst app not working at all

### 4/5 — Doesn’t work. Waste of money

*2023-01-23*

Current review: After trying 3 different mouse devices, I’ve finally found one that works with the app. 1 out of 2 of my Bluetooth Red-LED devices was the one that worked. I do have to have the mouse on an angle for it to take effect.

Previous review: I adjusted the apps settings, my phone settings and my mouse settings and still couldn’t get it to work. Waste of time, do not buy this app

**Developer response:** I am happy you were able to get it to work. Thank you for the stars; it gets frustrated when people try the app and give up and  I know it works because I use it myself daily. 

Original Response: Please try an older wired mouse with a Red LED - most people have one in a drawer or basement from an old machine. I have found mice with the Red led's work best. Also try rotating mouse at 45degree angle. I have seen some Blue LED work, but many do not. Also wireless mice tend to have issues as they will go to sleep to save battery life. If this resolves your issue, please update the review.

Thanks for the stars! Please update your title.

### 1/5 — Does not work
