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. ### 3/5 — Clunky old app *2021-11-17* This app is old get the new app they made it support ipad and iphone now ### 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. ### 2/5 — Still does not support rotating rectangles in Preview *2020-04-18* Preview allows a rectangle to be rotated using thumb and forefinger on a trackpad. But Remote Mouse does not support this feature. ### 3/5 — Still need mouse to login *2020-01-29, version 2.811* Doesn’t work on Mac until you login...can’t find wifi til you do? ### 3/5 — Almost perfect *2020-01-09* Works in apps like MS word and Firefox but does not work in Steam games. There doesn’t seem to be a good way to hold keys. Also the arrow keys on iPad Pro 9.7” does not work. If all of these functions work I’d give this a 5 out of 5 but unfortunately the features are pretty limited. Reached out to customer support about these issues and no response. ### 2/5 — This app is free but it’s not really free *2019-02-19* You can use the mouse but you can’t use the keyboard and you Would have to pay for the full version to be able to use the keyboard. It would be five stars but now that this app isn’t really that free... I’ll just have mercy and give it 2 stars ### 2/5 — Why am seeing ads on a paid app? *2018-05-25, version 2.800* I paid around 4 dollars to use the keyboard. But I’m still seeing ads at top. Works ok, but what a letdown. ### 1/5 — Ads *2017-12-03, version 2.800* Pretty sure I upgraded this to the pro version in the free app but there are still ads. Why is this a thing. ### 4/5 — Please add! *2017-11-23, version 2.800* Please add a feature where your can see your computer screen from your device! That would be good. To say the least. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great app! *2017-10-24, version 2.800* Now I can’t even get it to restore purchases. Everytime it connects to my computer I get an ad asking me to pay for what I already paid for! It says it has restored my purchases but in reality, it hasn’t. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — only the trackpad part works *2020-04-04* This app does not work as far as letting your ipad keyboard and mouse control a mac. The only thing that works is the app window working as a trackpad. An external mouse connected to the ipad doesn’t work either. I even paid the 3 dollars and still nothing worked. ### 1/5 — Dont buy *2020-02-13* Not free. Had to purchase to use anything. Only worked briefly then cursor would freeze. Caused iPad to overheat. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Not connecting, help isn’t helpful; is this fake? *2019-12-12, version 2.811* Cant connect. Don’t know what port it is trying to use. When I opened “help” in firefox, it did not appear to be the copy of firefox I actually have on my computer. The help option is not helpful. There are like five different versions of this same thing on the app store. I know I had it working long ago, but it don’t work now. Edit: Found the ip, but it looks weird for a random app. Qr code still prompts not-my-browser to open. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2018-09-18, version 2.811* I payed for the full version and it dident work do not get it ### 1/5 — Don't buy it - extremely crappy *2018-02-25, version 2.800* Worked only once. Typed not even a sentence. Lost connection and never worked again. Apps of this quality borderline scam for it charges a fee for trash... ### 1/5 — Mouse stopped working on iPad *2018-02-18, version 2.800* The mouse part of the app no longer works on iPad. Still works on iPhone but does not remember computer, have to enter IP every time. Several months later, still doesn’t work on iPad ### 1/5 — Purchasing doesn’t work *2017-12-28, version 2.800* I purchased the app twice in the store, but it’s not upgraded to the premium version yet. ### 1/5 — I am mad *2017-12-14, version 2.800* I seriously just got rip off how dare you ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 5star *2023-06-01* Very good app ### 5/5 — Cool *2023-04-08, version 2.811* Love it ### 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 ### 5/5 — Liberar versão para ipad 1 iOS 5.1 *2020-03-29, version 2.610* Excelente App, mais gostaria de usar meu iPad 1 como teclado. Libera a versão para iOS 5.1 ### 5/5 — Simple, works beautifully *2019-05-10, version 2.811* Installed on pc and iPad and works as promised. ### 5/5 — Makes things easier *2019-02-15* There are two less USB wires and cable extenders ( for mouse and keyboard to reach across room) after downloading this app. ### 5/5 — Mac back to Pc Trackpad *2018-12-02, version 2.811* Recently went back to Pc after 10 yrs on Mac to have better Pc high end Pro choices and better cost benefits. Really liked using Apples Trackpad and with the amount of time I am using a computer doing graphics, it helped with hand and wrist issues. Tried a few alternates but none worked well until I tried this App. Using it on an iPad Air 2 to control Windows 10 on Laptop, its better then Apples Trackpad2. It also allows you to type and control many other things. I have tested with iPhone 5, and iPhone SE as well iPad Air 2 and works great on all:) Great App ! well worth the price and you can turn your older devices into Trackpad controllers:)) ### 5/5 — Worth a laugh *2017-09-12, version 2.800* About all though.. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-07-07, version 2.800* It's great! ### 5/5 — Dope *2017-07-01, version 2.800* The app is super dope. I can understand advertising but I don't like it TBH. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
