I have my phone and computer on the same WiFi while I was testing this out. I was playing a slideshow that has a lot of animations, and when I used the clicker in the app it looked sooooo slow and glitchy on my screen (when I used my regular clicker all was fine). Don’t get me wrong, it worked to changed the slides but it looked terrible on the animations. Also, you also have to allow a lot of security permissions on your laptop to allow the app to work and it might be hard for someone who doesn’t know to decompress the file on their computer to get it to work and it takes up some space. I would say it would be okay for someone in a pinch that had a basic slideshow, but for the cost it isn’t worth it. ### 4/5 — Love the app! *2020-03-31, version 3.2.1* Using this app is so easy, especially when i write comics on PowerPoint. It makes its easy to read them and i love how easy it is to connect. I do have one question which is the images folder, and why it shows up on the desktop. It literally takes pictures of my slides, and some of my comics that i read have sensitive info, and it makes me wonder where the images are going because they disappear after I’m done. Still, great app. ### 3/5 — Windows 7 no go *2019-05-03, version 2.8* My business still on Windows 7 App would not load on my lap top “Appcrash” Probably needs Windows 10 ### 4/5 — Phenomenal App! *2019-04-01, version 2.8* Good job on the app. Exactly what I was looking for. The only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is I could not get the Watch to work. Please tell me what I can try. I’m on the same network, the mouse features are working on my phone’s . I’m leaving my phone on and connected. Yet when I tap the buttons on the screen of my Watch nothing happens. I’m using a 3rd gen Watch if that matters. And both my iPhoneXS and watch are on the newest software updates. Thanks ### 1/5 — Bummed Out *2018-04-04, version 1.2* This doesn’t work with a Mac. Even when you download the software so it sees your Mac, and you link the internet, and it shows the arrow controllers on your phone and mouse options, it still does not work. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money horrible App and poor service *2018-02-08, version 1.2* This app is junk I have already deleted it and requested a refund through Apple the free apps work better what a waste of time and money. ### 1/5 — Useless *2017-12-16, version 1.2* I don’t know who gave this a 5-star review, but save yourself 4 bucks and don’t buy this app. When it works it is so unresponsive that it is completely useless. Just try running a school or professional presentation from this app and you’re sure to loose everyone’s attention. ### 1/5 — Too slow. Connection is horrible *2017-12-16, version 1.2* Not a helpful app at all. I would not recommend it. The connection is so slow and inconsistent regardless of the speed of the network. Not useable at all. ### 1/5 — Crappy *2017-11-04, version 1.2* This application it a total rip off, it will not pair with any device. It is the worst 4 dollars I have ever spent. I highly recommend that Apple investigate this developer. It just doesn’t work at all. ### 1/5 — Just didn't work! *2017-08-21, version 1.1* Big fail. Does nothing no matter what button is pressed. Sorry guys! ### 1/5 — Non-Functional and Not Supported *2017-07-19, version 1.1* The PPT Remote Pro doesn't work for me. I have received no reply to a support e-mail after four weeks. ### 1/5 — Definitely My Worst App Purchase *2017-07-14, version 1.1* This app literally does nothing. I installed it, downloaded the desktop component, authorized and connected everything... and while the app is running it in no way controls my PPT slides on my MBP w/ Touchbar. It does nothing. I watched all the videos, reviews and even contacted Support. It simply doesn't work. And Support never replied. Don't waste your money. I bought a Logitech Bluetooth remote and are quite satisfied to have spent 10x the money for something I know will function when I'm on the spot. **Developer response:** Hello Emdubwilliams,sorry about the inconvenient. We have reply to you,our developer has analyzed the problem, we think your firewall or antivirus has forbidden the communication between the iPhone and Computer. Please shutdown the Program and try again. If it still doesn't work, please email us again. Our developer would contact you to fix the problem. Sorry about the inconvenient. ### 3/5 — Good concept but it didn't work when I needed it *2017-04-28, version 1.1* The app stopped working in the middle of a presentation. If this were free, I might be able to understand that, but for what they charge, this thing should work perfectly. It may have been the wifi network as I have been able to get it to work since. **Developer response:** So sad about the accident. The connection of this app is the most stable one basically. If it disconnects in the middle when controlling, it is most possible because of the network environment, which may also happen in physical remote. In 99.98% cases, this app is stable enough, which makes it the most stable one in all of the same kind of apps. ### 1/5 — Don't do it *2017-04-07, version 1.1* Good luck pairing this thing to your MacBook Pro. Not if you're using up-to-date system software, anyway. Besides, the iPhone Keynote app has a built-in remote function that'll connect with your laptop. Google it. Wish I knew this before. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wouldn’t work if more than 5 ft away from my computer *2019-11-13, version 3.1* Would I normally rely on untested tech before a big public event? Nope. But was I in a pinch today without a clicker? Yep. Did I quickly search and find the highest rated app? Yep. Did I hope that it would deliver? You bet. Did it? Nope. This thing wouldn’t work if I was more than 5ft from my computer. Why would this be? I’m on a MacBook Pro. Using iPhone XR. I restarted my machine thinking maybe it was my computer’s issue. I am on a network that is being used throughout a public building so I don’t know if that’s a factor, but it sure was a liability today as I presented to a large group of people. If I stayed near the machine, it worked like a charm. But then, I could’ve just hit the forward arrow at that point and didn’t need a remote clicker. I wish I could get my money back because this thing failed and I won’t be using it again. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2019-10-14, version 3.1* It connected my MacBook with both my iPad and iPhone, but nothing happens to my PPT slide when I click “next slide.” Yes, it’s on the same network and it shows all the indications that it’s connected, but just won’t work on either device. I wouldn’t spend $4 just to find what I found. ### 1/5 — Windows executable is not signed *2019-07-11, version 2.8* The app requires the installation on Windows, which isn’t signed and therefore cannot be trusted. This app should be removed from the App Store ### 1/5 — Website domain expired; DO NOT BUY *2019-05-21, version 2.8* Complete rip-off, the website domain name expired and so won’t work with your computer. 100% defeats the purpose of the app. DO NOT BUY, it’s $4 wasted. ### 1/5 — No pc download! *2019-05-21, version 2.8* I bought the app then went to the website for the pc download. It says the domain name has expired. Now I can’t connect to my computer. Just wasted $4!! ### 1/5 — Do not download *2019-05-21, version 2.8* I bought this app because it had decent reviews. When I opened it up for the first time, it told me to go to a website on my laptop to download the corresponding PC app. Well that domain no longer exists, so the purchase of this app was entirely a waste of money. ### 1/5 — I Want My Money Back *2019-05-20, version 2.8* I purchased this app, went on the website to download the software, the website doesn’t even work ! It’s says the webpage can not be found. I’d much prefer to rate a zero. Refund, please. ### 1/5 — Update is terrible *2019-03-07, version 2.4* The updated version crashes on my iPad, and iPhone XS. I paid money for this and can’t even use it! ### 1/5 — Poor *2019-02-24, version 2.2* Too difficult to use. Couldn’t get a refund on the app. Was hoping it would be helpful ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2018-09-04, version 1.2* Paid $3.99 for an app cause I had no PowerPoint clicker. Did not work. Would not locate host , emailed developer waiting on refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ready for Hotel Conference *2019-01-05, version 1.2* Getting ready to do a training seminar for some sales agents and this is a perfect way to control PowerPoint slides on my MacBook with my iPhone. Download the app on iPhone and Mac, turn on my iPhone hotspot and connect my MacBook. Allowed control in MacBook system presences. The mouse feature is a little buggy but I don’t need it anyways. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2018-11-16, version 1.2* Thanks for the App! Phenomenal tool, helped my brief appear professional and streamline. Note: Llittle effort getting it connected to my Mac. However, a few minutes of trial and error and you won’t regret it. Note: One of the reviews posted provided a lot of help. Thank you for taking the time to help myself. ### 5/5 — It works! *2018-10-23, version 1.2* It took a while to figure all things out - but the reason the app didn’t fully work was because u have to allow access in system preferences -accessibility ... now it works! You need to provide an accurate email for customer support and others would be able to use this great app. ### 5/5 — Work great *2017-05-17, version 1.1* I have never written a review until I saw those unfair reviews for this app. I even guess that they were from developers of other similar apps. Why does it work perfect for me? Just follow the instruction and you are good to go. ### 5/5 — 1 app of this kind *2017-05-15, version 1.1* Love it!!! I have several apps that offer the same features or close enough but none as stable or as easy. On those all important occasions when you don't have a physical remote controller and you have to control the slide remotely, this app will save your life...... While you're Thanking PPT Remote your students & audience are thanking you. I recommend highly ### 5/5 — Supporting all slide software *2017-05-02, version 1.1* It really surprised me when I found this app can not only controller PowerPoint but also Keynote/Google Slide/Open Office, etc. you can use it to control any slide show software, which is awesome! ### 5/5 — Very quick support *2017-03-06, version 1.1* I didn't expect that the reply could be so quick. It is really helpful and I can get it worked. It is better to put the tutorial in the description, thanks. ### 5/5 — Much better and cheaper than a physical presenter *2017-03-04, version 1.1* I don't need to carry the physical now, all I need is my iPhone. And I don't need to worry about the battery and stability of presenter again. However a friend of mine, who is really an expert on presentation, uses this app to do presentations everyday now. ### 5/5 — Shockingly Great *2017-02-27, version 1.1* I've tried every Powerpoint remote control app, and finally I used this app for all my important presentations. Well done devs! ### 5/5 — It helped me to get a job~ *2017-02-27, version 1.1* I used this app to present my powerpoint of resume which impress my boss. I bought the app for $4.00 and it is the best 4 bucks I have ever spent. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
