Broken

I threw everything that I had at it, including Astra on Max and it still didn’t work. It’s officially broken.

Volume buttons don’t work please fix it.

The app has some issues that need to be fixed. The volume buttons don’t work properly, and the connection is often slow even when both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. It would be great if the developers could improve the connection speed and fix the volume controls.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, Aditya. We’re sorry the volume controls and connection speed haven’t been working as expected. Please email us at support@unifiedremote.com with your setup details, and we’ll be happy to take a look.

Awesome

Great app, but some features are still missing, the ability to double tap and drag to highlight, and using volume buttons on phone to control the PC's volume

Stopped working macOS Tahoe 26.7

The app isn’t able to find the server and is stuck on searching. Even on paid version.

Response from developer

Thanks for letting us know, Kartik. We’d be happy to help get the server connection working again. Please email us at support@unifiedremote.com with a few details about your setup, and we’ll take a closer look with you.

Wonderful App with Amazing Customer Support

I love this app a lot and it really simplifies the entire process of syncing with your computer. With the server automatically opening when my pc turns on, I don’t have to think twice. There is no input delay either. ADDITIONALLY, I recently had a problem with one of the shortcuts through iOS not working, and I was not able to turn off my computer using Siri however, when I reached out to customer support, they asked for a couple of details and quickly resolved my issue within the next update. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOWNLOADING.

Cool remote

One of the best purchases I’ve made so far. It’s sooooooooo useful for almost everything you don’t have hands for. I use it all the time, definitely worth every penny ❤️

Recent UI update is terrible

I really don’t like the recent UI update. For some reason, the keyboard is now designed for Mac. No more ctrl, alt, or window. lol.

Amazing update

I have used unified remote for years and love it. This new redesign/remake update though is amazing. The update adds a beautiful polish and qol fixes to an already great app

Used to be 5 stars

Have been using this app for years with my favorite remote being remote screen viewing and being able to use touch screen mouse controls.

Latest update removed that functionality.

Yes I can still use the mouse from my phone but it no longer see what I am doing while using the mouse.

Recent updates broke functionality

Been using Unified Remote for years across all platforms, and after the most recent update it doesn’t function at all.

Also not stoked about having to buy it across all platforms to utilize the full function. Cross purchase seems applicable here.

1 stars for every 5 years I’ve been a user.

Works great

Update- love the new update it’s really full featured and rewarding us for buying features in the past! Only issue is the mouse trackpad works really poorly now when it was perfect before (despite an update that says it was fixed)

The server sometimes has issues lately starting and connecting on its own but hopefully won’t be a major problem

Long-Press to Drag should not not disengage after letting go

UPDATE: The dev listens. So changed review from 3 stars to 4 stars. There is some hitching issues when moving the mouse horizontally. I move the mouse to the right and it hitches back to the left as I continue moving right. Maybe the unified server program on windows and Linux needs updating. I wish the server program was better at working on windows and Linux (Steam deck/machine) as soon as the computer is started and it on the Lock Screen where I put in the password. But I’m glad we’re getting updates after 5 years of nothing. Happy I paid for the app back then.



Prior to the new update, long-press to drag would allow you to continue dragging after lifting your finger. You would need to long-press again to disable the dragging. This was very useful when dragging windows from one side of the screen to the other while having your phone in portrait mode. Please reinstate this feature or at least allow us to have an option in settings for it. I used the hold to drag feature everyday but now it takes forever to drag a window since everything I lift my finger after moving it to the edge of my phone, and reposition my finger on the opposite edge of the phone to continue dragging, then the drag would disengage and I would have to long press again. The long press takes at least a second to activate, and the phone will vibrate, so having to constantly reengage the long press leads to a lot of time to do a simple thing like drag a window to the other side of the screen to snap it in place. Please reenable this feature.

Amazing app

I had been searching forever, when I found this app and it had everything I needed! That was years ago and its been working perfectly since! After seeing the new update it felt like I should say how much I love the app. I thought it was abandoned for a lil bit!

Response from developer

A fix is already on the way! Thanks for your patience.

Still broken after last update

Still closing basic control with a back swipe after the last update
Constantly stops working
Has become absolutely useless
I’m now at the point I want a refund
Why after so long without an update did you break it?
Then released another update claiming everything is fixed when it clearly is not
Used to be amazing
I’m now looking for alternatives

I use this every day, genuinely

The only app that doesn’t get worse when you update it!

Wake-on-LAN still doesn't work..

UPDATE: After latest update patch to fix it, it still doesn't work.. Tried all the same troubleshooting steps including reinstalling both app and server client.. Never had an issue for years until these latest updates.. Added a star for dev response and the quick patch release, but it remains as of now, still broken

ORIGINAL: Latest update broke this, doesn't matter what MAC I add or change, or the format I add it as.. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling app, server, drivers. Tried removing/readding server both automatically and manually.. Everything works except Wake-on-LAN..
Please fix!!

Good after update

This update made this app a 5/5 before that i would only give it a 3/5

Great update

Thanks for the polish! Looks great

YOU RUINED IT

Basic input is now unusable. The tiny bar at the bottom for the leyboard/volume control is so small I just constantly tap the touchpad area and pause whatever I’m watching. It’s legitimately so unusable. I hate that I paid for this and used it for years, then overnight it’s a broken app I can’t use anymore. It’s how I control my entire tv system.
