### 2/5 — Can’t use keyboard without paying.

*2026-05-30, version 2.811*

Makes downloading pointless, I’d rather deal with ads than pay $22 for what is the most basic point of this app

### 3/5 — Fix “More” option on keyboard

*2023-07-22*

Overall the app is pretty good, but please fix the “more” option on the keyboard. For some reason it just doesn’t work at all and doesn’t show those options. It’s been like this for a while now.

### 5/5 — 5star

*2023-06-01*

Very good app

### 5/5 — Cool

*2023-04-08, version 2.811*

Love it

### 3/5 — Clunky old app

*2021-11-17*

This app is old get the new app they made it support ipad and iphone now

### 5/5 — Literally the best one I ever used!

*2021-02-19, version 2.811*

I spent years to find a perfect solution of utilising my iPad mini 2 as it’s too small for a second display and no one wanna it on eBay, I’ve tried Rowmote Pro but it worked terrible and completely useless when I updated to MacOS Bigsur, I’m so happy to find this one and definitely 5 stars recommend

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY

*2020-11-13*

False advertising. Paywall for the keyboard. Spent 3 dollars and still doesn't work.

### 1/5 — Faux free app

*2020-10-13*

The keyboard requires you to pay money to use, only the mouse is free

### 2/5 — Missing blatant;y obvious features

*2020-07-17, version 2.811*

A good idea but missing some vital and blatantly obvious features for Mac users such as a command and alt key on the keyboard. I also tried to change the mouse sensitivity several times and it just reverted back to the default slow crawl every time. 

I also paid for the full version but this didn’t get rid of the ads, that was an extra fee which is utterly ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Ok, please correct iPad Pro screen width

*2020-05-08*

Mouse pointer sometimes stops responding (from iPadPro to Mac). Keyboard width is narrower than screen, not utilizing the 11” real estate. Would be cool to be able to choose keyboard layouts, include shifts, cmd and ctrl as in physical keyboards. Still, good to keep one less device on the desk, and multitask with iPad, making the iPad even more useful and versatile.
