### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-07-19, version 2.3.6*

Once I figure out I needed the desktop app, it all worked great. Simple, easy reliable.

### 2/5 — Causes Error Message in PowerPoint

*2026-07-19, version 2.3.6*

I love the app when I first downloaded it. I wanted to be able to see my notes so I purchased the pro version. After that, I kept getting a error message in PowerPoint about saving the file and it would repeatedly pop up without stopping. I validated this by closing the app on my PC and the issue stopped. Like I said, I love the app, but I wish this error didn’t happen for me.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2026-06-16, version 2.3.6*

It replaces a clicker and frees me from being tethered to my computer while presenting. I like that it is connected using Bluetooth as where I am at, WiFi can be spotty. 

If there was any knock on the device, it is with the pointer function. It doesn’t feel smooth or natural. But I think that is due to the limitations of iPhone or iPad mini screen size vs the size on the MacBook. But because I don’t necessarily need the laser pointer, it isn’t a huge issue.

### 5/5 — Awesome.

*2026-05-21, version 2.3.6*

Easy setup, super responsive app. Best by a long shot

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-04-17, version 2.3.6*

This just doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Works reliably

*2026-03-20, version 2.3.6*

Works reliably from iPhone to MacBook. Does it work on a Windows Pc too?  I bought the iPhone app license.

### 5/5 — Brilliance in the basics

*2026-03-18, version 2.3.6*

Very basic and works perfectly.

### 1/5 — Not on Copilot PCs

*2026-01-23, version 2.3.6*

While this app can see my copilot PC on the network, it is completely useless and cannot control the PowerPoint at all.

### 5/5 — Never ever deleting this app

*2025-12-06, version 2.3.6*

Super easy to use man, trust me I tried so many apps and this is so straightforward without any bs money, i dont do reviews but I needed this sooooo muchh. Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

### 1/5 — Notes don’t work right

*2025-08-29, version 2.3.6*

I can see my notes and control going back/forward, but on slides where I have multiple clicks (like animation) my notes now don’t align with the current slide.
