### 5/5 — Sehr schöne App

*2025-06-23*

Die App funktioniert perfekt und ist optisch sehr schön umgesetzt. Es wäre schön, wenn man noch die - Wiim Voice Remote 2 - integrieren könnte. Sie passt sehr gut neben die Apple Siri Remote. Vielleicht schafft ihr es ja noch diese Fernbedienung mit einzubauen. Es wäre ein schöner Mehrwert für die App.

### 5/5 — keyboard suggestion

*2025-03-30*

Currently the keyboard can only be turned off by tapping the keyboard button again, could be more convenient it’s disappeared by tapping elsewhere like other app do es

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-09-07*

Been using this since the pre iPhone days, still light years ahead of the competitors. Get it, you won’t be disappointed!

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2024-04-04*

Thank you for developing this app. It works great.

### 1/5 — This app downloaded a strange app when I downloaded this app

*2024-01-28*

Beware!!!!!

### 5/5 — Möchte ich nicht missen!

*2023-09-26*

Für mich die beste Option um Apps wie z.B. iTunes/Musik über den Mac mini am TV perfekt mit der Harmony Elite zu steuern! Remote Buddy (2) setze ich schon seit einigen Jahren ein.

### 1/5 — Ça ne marche jamais

*2023-04-24*

Une vraie galère pour connecter ça ne marche jamais quelque soit la configuration

**Developer response:** Remote Buddy Mobile 2 fournit un assistant de configuration qui prend moins d'une minute. Il fonctionne alors aussi fiable que votre réseau WiFi. Si votre réseau WiFi n'est pas fiable et perd fréquemment la connexion, l'expérience avec toute application qui doit communiquer dessus sera en conséquence. Ceci, cependant, n'est pratiquement rien dont Remote Buddy Mobile 2 est responsable.
## Translated from English: Remote Buddy Mobile 2 provides a setup assistant that takes less than a minute to complete. It then works as reliable as your WiFi network. If your WiFi network is not reliable and frequently looses connection, the experience with any app that needs to communicate over it will be accordingly. This, however, is hardly anything Remote Buddy Mobile 2 is responsible for.

### 4/5 — Essential Utility

*2023-02-11*

Excellent for controlling a headless Mac Mini from an iPad. What would make this perfect is trackpad support with the Apple Magic Keyboard on iPad. Is this something that’s in the works?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review! This is on the roadmap, but I can't offer a timeline for the implementation at this point.
