Using a presentation remote instead of advancing your slides manually can allow you to connect with audiences and utilize your presentation space more effectively, but you typically had to buy your own or hope the venue you were presenting at had one on hand. Fear no more, UPR has you covered! All you need is the presenting computer, your iOS device or Apple Watch, and an internet connection. UPR allows you to control the presentation computer to advance your slides remotely from anywhere in the world. Simply install the UPR Controller application on the presenting computer and enter the token into the iOS App and you'll be presenting in no time. Universal Presenter Remote natively supports both iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch with comprehensive instructions that make setup a breeze. Companion applications and further instruction can be found at https://universalpresenterremote.com.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Universal Presenter Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote, Mouse and Keyboard has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Remote, Mouse and Keyboard's written reviews are positive against 62% of Universal Presenter Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Remote, Mouse and Keyboard ships an update every 4 days, Universal Presenter Remote every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
