Not proving useful for Finale
The app is paired properly from iPhone and iPad, but does not assign note values in Simple Entry. Arrow keys work, Enter works, and I can use the numeric keys for Calculator and text entry. Have written customer support at dev website, but received no response.
Works well but not since upgrade to iOS 14
Was working well, but once I upgraded to iOS 14, it stopped finding and connecting to my computer. If/when it can connect again to my computer, I would give this app five stars.
Update: I got it to work after disabling and then reenabling remote management on my MacBook. Developer was responsive to my request for help. So I just upgraded my review from 4 to 5 stars.

Hi! Please make sure that NumPad is allowed to access your local network (Settings.app / Privacy / Local Network). More details here: https://help.edovia.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054155014
Great app, great customer support.
Ok, connection problems?
No worries, their friendly customer support is there for you.
I submitted my problems to Edovia customer support and got a quick and friendly response. They were able to guide me step by step until I was able to connect and use my NumPad app.
Not to mention the app is sharp and stylish with their cool space gray, gold and silver color. The NumPad is great when using a laptop. Considering that most laptops don’t have a side numeric pad.
Again, customer support is also important. I will give them a 5 star rating for the great customer support they provided and of course the app is a time saver and helps if you’re a number person.

Hi! Sorry to hear you're running into issues with NumPad. You need to use a Mac username and password in order to connect to your Mac. This is mentioned in the initial configuration article (https://help.edovia.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000447068). If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us. Have a nice day!
Connection trouble
I've had this for a year and used it frequently with Mac computer. I got a new MacBook Pro and the app won't connect at all with it. Help me please
Response from developer
Can you reproduce the issue and send us a diagnostics report in order to have more details? From NumPad: Go to the App Settings (gear icon) > Get In Touch > Type > Support Request. Thanks!
Really Disappointed
First off. Doesnt connect. Second, Wifi??? wont connect via cord or BT? seriously? I have been working on this for more than an hour and no progress at all. Followed the instructions provided, nada! Please refund my 3.99 back.
Won’t connect!!
I have trouble with the password. It won’t connect without a password (aggh). Which one do I use? The computer one, Sibelius one or something else?
Response from developer
Hi! You need to use the password you've set when you configured the VNC server (PC) or your Mac username and password (Mac). You'll find instructions here: https://r.edovia.com/nptpgs
Great App, Only Two Complaints
This does exactly what it advertises and is pretty straightforward to set up. My only complaints are that I wish the keys would change color when pressed (they do, but only just barely) and that there was a way to type a comma. There's a key with what appears to be a semicolon, but it actually types a period. If it's supposed to type either a period or comma, I can't figure out how.

paid and never work
apple should take this app off
Don’t even want a regular keypad now
I wasn’t about to pay $4 for a wireless keypad app, I’d sooner spend $50 on a real one. But as soon as I saw it’s adaptive for Sibelius I bought it without hesitation. I’m happy to say that it works, although it was a little tricky to hook up to my MacBook.
But the fact that I can look at my phone to see the notes instead of having to look at the computer screen and hit the corresponding key is wonderful. I no longer have to have that ugly keypad on my screen.
I haven’t tested the app without Wi-Fi, and I’m not sure if it’ll work without Wi-Fi. It’d be a shame because Sibelius is an offline app, and this app should be able to work with Bluetooth to give the same result.

Waste and does not connect
I bought this app looking to make it easier to connect my phone to my Mac, download, paid $4 for it, and it never connects
Total waste I need my money refund, and will not be recommending others to get it.
I tried downloaded the app on 3 on my devices and non connected to the Mac,
Had to buy another app which connected in a second.

Talk about a productivity booster
Invaluable for getting a lot of data entered quickly and rapidly. Pro tool for people with billable work to get done.
Great ten key!
It does what it says. The input is super fast, as if it was a wired peripheral. Just make sure to read the help section in order to set it up, because it’s not intuitive!
Works perfectly on both my iPhone and iPad Pro
This app works as advertised and let me input strings of numbers into an Excel spreadsheet from either my iPad Pro or my iPhone. I love it. Although you do have to read the help file in the instructions on how to get it to work with your MacBook. To do so go to Utilities and help and read how to hook it up. You need to turn on screen sharing on your Mac.
Finally if I could get this to work so that the numeric keypad was on my iPhone and I could enter numbers into Excel on my iPad Pro it would be perfect and I pay for a separate app.

Doesn't Work w/RealVNC
The app description says it works with RealVNC (and that RealVNC is recommended) but it doesn't. It says, "The selected authentication type is not supported by the computer." (I could probably get it to work if I turned off authentication on VNC, but I have a port open to the Internet so there is no way I would want to run VNC without password and encryption.) Oh well, time to find another app.

Worth it if you use Sibelius heavily
I thought $20 was too much too, but my computer keyboard doesn't have a numeric keypad and having this app is an awesome time saver. It works particularly nice when inputting notes with a midi keyboard. You can have the phone in one hand and the other hand on the keyboard: super fast note entry!
Great app!!
Excellent!!! Great performance, very happy. Saved money and time...
Bait and switch
A great app before MartianCraft landed on it. It was certainly nice when the purchasers of this app got the Sibelius and Finale keypads without having to make in-app purchases. Glad I kept the 4.0 version. Shame on you, MartianCraft.
Works exactly as promised
Once I figured out how to connect to my computer, the app has worked flawlessly and I will probably buy the Sibelius laout for my music notation program, despite the hefty $20 upgrade price tag (not all that much cheaper than a hardware USB keypad, albeit more portable). I do wish the app offered more proative guidance about connecting, especially in how to configure your computer. The help information about how to connect to your computer or laptop is quite buried, and the app doesn't offer it upfront during setup. That's unfortunate because the guidance is quite thorough and helpful. I fear this will cost the maker some negative reviews.

don't like
no tutorial how to connect
Glorious
By far an excellent solution to anyone who doesn't have a keypad. I had some issues with setup initially but customer service responded within 20 minutes to my email (turns out I misinterpreted terminology and the app worked just fine). I'm looking forward to using this app for many years to come! Well worth it!
