This uses VNC, which is usually used for screen sharing. Your computer will think that you are sharing video, and the copyright protection will be triggered, causing a blank screen. If you aren’t using it for that, you will probably love it because it works great otherwise. I bought it specifically for my media center (computer with streaming service) so I am disappointed. I wish the developer would point this out so I didn’t waste my money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and they don’t provide support anymore *2020-10-19, version 6.3.2* Doesn’t work with 2019 MacBook Pro. Development stopped over a year ago and they don’t reply to support tickets. **Developer response:** Hi! We reply to every support request we receive. Perhaps your request was sent to the wrong address? Please contact us at support@edovia.com and we'll be able to assist you. Have a great day! ### 5/5 — Use it everyday with home theater Mac Mini *2019-04-22, version 6.3.2* I can’t believe I bought this app in 2009. Great for controlling a home theater computer. Had a problem a couple years ago (forgetting the password if it couldn’t connect on the first try), let the developer know, and it was fixed immediately in the next update. My only request would be a super-extra dark grey-on-black mode that is nearly invisible in a dark room / theater. The red and black theme is super cool but still a little distracting to leave on all the time during movies. Thanks for a great app! ### 3/5 — No gestures *2019-01-09, version 6.3.2* Even after you are turning off my gesture settings on my iPad and Mac, I cannot get the gestures to work on my Mac. Apple Pencil support is a joke. Tap tap tap... for a single click action. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2018-11-28, version 6.3.2* A little confusing for me to get installed right, but works well. **Developer response:** Hi! Like you mentioned to us this morning in our support system, it seems like you were able to find the cause (Yay!!) of the problem on the Mac side so would you mind updating your review? Many thanks! ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2018-06-18, version 6.2.5* I love the app. My only qualm is that I think it’s a little bit of a missed opportunity not having a few buttons for things like Mute, or Sleep, for example. It looks like this aims to work as a remote, so these things would go a long way. Currently using Alfred to mute and sleep the Mac; it’d be nice not to need both apps to do such a small task. ### 5/5 — Such a great tool *2018-05-26, version 6.2.4* Tools like this make it easier and easier to use an iPad for all the presentation, productivity and mockup needs a pro needs to bridge the workflow for iOS to Mac and back again. ### 5/5 — No Software Required - Gold! *2018-05-26, version 6.2.4* Runs nativity on macOS. It finds the computer on the local network, asks for credentials, and lets your control it. It’s super useful at home but it is gold for IT support. ### 5/5 — Great for presentations *2017-10-25, version 6.1.1* I find this utility app very useful for controlling Keynote and PowerPoint presentations. Great work guys! ### 5/5 — Cool. Better than my mouse *2016-07-05, version 6.0.1* Super easy to connect and great response. No lag so far. Using my iPad, this is easier with better control than the wireless mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried all of the key extra control keys in the app, but the touchpad is great, catching and dragging items is easier than with my mouse. People, take your issues to support! Thanks for a great, free, app. ## Frequently asked questions about TouchPad ### What does the TouchPad app do?
