### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2025-02-05*

Я купил ваше приложение для MacOS, пользуюсь им долгое время, все отлично.
Но хотелось бы, чтобы разработчики добавили поддержку русского языка.
И еще у меня вопрос, будет ли работать ваше приложение с графическим планшетом?
Спасибо

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2024-12-02, version 1.4*

I’ve had a few issues to connect it to ScreenBrush running on my Mac but the support helped me very fast and now it works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Absolut top

*2024-03-29, version 1.4*

Zunächst Screenbrush auf dem Mac installiert. Nun für das iPhone Screenbrush Remote. Und es funktioniert hervorragend. Man kann einfach mit dem iPhone auf dem Macbildschirm einen roten Punkt grenzenlos als Presenter nutzen. Man kann Pfeile einzeichnen, die entweder nach ein paar Sekunden verschwinden oder für eine gewisse Zeit stehen lassen. Und und und. Die 5,99€ sind sehr gut angelegtes Geld.

### 1/5 — Does not work on my iPhone

*2023-04-03, version 1.4*

It dies not work on my iPhone. Please help!

### 5/5 — Top App

*2023-01-19, version 1.4*

Geht leider gerade nicht bei mir, aber es ist trotzdem eine top App, danke Entwickler

### 4/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2022-11-06, version 1.3.2*

Thus app is really useful for me in my MacBook but it can’t get my iPhone, iPad and MacBook to connect through the app. This is a big problem for me please help. However, I will give four stars for it.

### 1/5 — 无法连接macbookpro

*2022-05-10, version 1.3.2*

手机端持续等待连接，电脑端也出现连接按钮，点击后无论如何也无法连接

### 1/5 — Can’t draw

*2021-11-04, version 1.3.2*

The app connects, it can turn the delay on and off, but it can’t actually be used to draw.

There is a “hold to draw” button that doesn’t do anything. There is no button to hide all the controls on the device to just give you a full screen “touch pad” type experience.

Also there is no iPad optimized version - despite an iPad being a more appropriate screen size for drawing.

### 5/5 — A M A Z I N G

*2021-10-23, version 1.3.2*

The desktop app is feature packed, easy, powerful. Great for presentations, great for recording tutorials!

The mobile app is fun and powerful.
(secret feature: Best Pictionary board ever).

It would be good to have a laser pointer mode for the motion control..

### 2/5 — Totally wrong direction for iOS app

*2021-03-05, version 1.3.1*

Let me drop an honest opinion because I’m a big desktop app user so I was excited to check this iOS one. I would say, yeah, i might use the pointer for my presentation but try to drawing using motion sensor is not what this app supposed to do for iPad. I think most of people are expecting using Apple Pencil to draw something and reflect accurate rendering on MacBook screen. 

Nobody does physical presentation nowadays, and no need for pointers if you can reach mouse, correct?

Again, when I can not draw by my mouse, I need to draw using Apple Pencil. Let’s say if you are math teacher, and in order to write additional equation in white space on your slideshow, you want to use Pencil, not mouse. Please create straight forward Apple Pencil to draw and reflect on Mac.
