Especially not one that is free. This is an amazing software that is so simple to use with little to no latency. I highly recommend this app as I will be using it in my presentation tomorrow. P.S. for the creator, Just a helpful suggestion from the consumer perspective. Please let other consumers know in your instructions (which are very simple to follow along with) that when they first install the software on their computer, they will likely have to make sure their Bluetooth is turned on “before” opening the software as they will likely receive an error like I did, essentially telling them that the pairing status is “inactive”. Please recommend them to close the software, enable Bluetooth on computer, reopen app. Once I did that, worked flawlessly and connected easily. Thank you! 😁 ### 5/5 — Perfect. Great App *2025-02-25, version 2.3.5* I needed this for a presentation tomorrow morning and it works flawlessly highly recommended. Great job. ### 5/5 — Good Free Option *2025-02-19, version 2.3.5* Just tried it today at a last minute presentation meeting. Just using the directional buttons, and it was smooth. Might think of paying for Pro if I do more presentations consistently, and I like the single purchase option. Easy setup, and good directions. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-02-03, version 2.3.4* This app is wonderful, works perfectly, super clear to install and use. Got it to work on my apple watch too! I greatly recommend it! Thank you for making this amazing tool! ### 5/5 — Does the job! *2024-09-03, version 2.3.0* A very convenient app. Easily connects to MacBook and allows a smooth presentation. Hoping for more updates to make the app even better - particularly being able to view the next slide on the phone screen. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-04-17, version 2.3.6* This just doesn’t work. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-02-06, version 2.3.5* If I can’t view the slide on the iPad there is no point. $7.99 for a useless app. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-02-10, version 2.2.1* Literally one of worst app I’ve ever spent money on. Rarely works. Freezes up. Total waste of my time any money. ### 1/5 — App won’t run *2024-01-11, version 2.2.1* Connecting to laptop but app says Currently no devices are allowed. Great idea if it works! ### 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. ### 3/5 — It’s a good app with a few cons *2024-06-22, version 2.2.1* This app is great but it takes forever for the phone to actually connect to the windows computer and the only way to get all of the stuff is to pay £4.99. And the cursor is laggy when using it on my own computer. If the developer fixes these issues I would rate a 5 stars. This is the best working and best free app for presenters that I can find . ### 4/5 — Great app, just needs one update! *2025-08-20, version 2.3.6* Love the app, but is it possible to have the notes stay with the current slide when using it with PowerPoint using transitions. That would make this perfect!!!! ### 4/5 — Works As Expected *2024-11-16, version 2.3.3* Works As Expected ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Replaces presentation clicker! *2025-07-15, version 2.3.6* This is exactly what I wanted — a simple lightweight app that lets me control a Google Slides presentation on my computer from my phone. Unlike some "remote mouse" applications, this one is designed for presentations with large right and left buttons. Worked like a charm! ### 5/5 — It works ! *2025-04-24, version 2.3.6* Finally what I was looking for. Works perfect with my Mac and iPhone. ### 5/5 — Very good! 👌🏾 *2025-04-05, version 2.3.6* Love it! Does exactly what is described! ### 5/5 — Download it works *2025-04-02, version 2.3.6* I’ve been presenting in PowerPoint for over 15-years. I’ve used a number of clickers and often times I forget to change the battery or they just don’t work. The is functional and it’s free! Works great so far. I like the haptic feedback and being able to control from my iPhone and Apple Watch - well done! It gives you a bit extra swagger when you control from your watch. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
