User reviews

Works well

Works well. Using to control RetroPie from phone. Would appreciate ability to increase size of the activation icon for the special characters (it's difficult to press the small icon in upper left corner) and also ability to rescale those special characters when activated (primarily the arrow keys). Thanks for app.

Works fine

Installed the driver, per the directions. Installed this app.

Configured the iOS app and it connects right away after restarting the iOS app. Had to watch the video on his webpage to understand how the mouse events are supported

Would like to see some gestures support so that mouse scroll events could be transferred up to allow easier web page browsing

Where has this app been my whole life?

Oh, itโ€™s super old? Well at any rate Iโ€™m glad I found it, better late than never. It even works with RetroPie so I can fully access my Pi from emulation station or the desktop without anything other than my phone. Well worth $2.

Don't download this

The remotepi program that runs on the Raspberry Pi side has not been updated in many years and only supports armhf, which makes it useless for most of us. So, I'm out $2.

Not all Pis work

Must be armhf, will not work with arm64
