### 2/5 — One of the best apps on itunes

*2010-02-05, version 0*

This is fantastic truly. I am keen to buy the full version because it is cheaper and has way more features than apple remotes. Great app highly recommended

### 1/5 — i did if get to try it out

*2010-02-05, version 0*

i think you cant get it in cacada

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2009-12-16*

Just open desktop key bord and you can do as much as full version

### 5/5 — Cool App!

*2009-12-07*

### 5/5 — great

*2009-09-20, version 0*

i can get the th reciever on vista and XP works perfect no problems thanks

### 4/5 — Good

*2009-08-23, version 0*

It's a great app. You need to download the software first!!!!!! Then, it works!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2009-08-18*

My wireless mouse just stopped working and I was looking for a free alternative, I tried this app and I love it. It took about 2 minutes from downloading it to using it, and was fast enough to use with Half-Life 2. Excellent job devs! (iPhone 3g v.3.1 with Vista 32 bit)

### 5/5 — Works exactly as it should

*2009-07-14*

Works just as it should and is free. Use 5 hotkeys for wmp and 1 to open iTunes which I then use remote for. Don't use the mouse pad much but on my 22" monitor about 15ft away I can still manuver pretty well. Touchpad is extremely accurate via the wifi (Jaadu never worked even half as well and used a clunkier server program). AND IT IS FREE!!!

### 1/5 — Not great

*2009-06-30, version 0*

Win-L (lock) does not work in Vista.
Where is the Shutdown Key?
Other than that it's okay, but it's not making me want to buy the paid version.

### 4/5 — Great value

*2009-06-15*

This is the best wireless mouse app that is FREE.  However if you are going to upgrade to a paid verion go with Air Mouse Pro
