It does work

Not bad but one annoying failure

My pc is on a static ip to the router. This app does not remember computers it connects to. I have to enter in my IP address every single time I open the app. Fix that and allow instant connect or instant reconnect and I will update to 5 stars cause it works great. It really does.

Great App & User Friendly

But because you have to make 3 separate purchases of $1.99 / each for the different features that are optional, I'm only going to give 3 stars. If the price were a little more reasonable, I would give it 5 Stars no problem.

Fix this $H!T

I love this app but it needs a major bug fix. I cannot connect to my laptop more than once after I disconnect! It keeps saying connection failed. The app is installed and up to date on both devices. Fix this. I did not pay money for this kind of crap.

I haven't run into any shortcomings whatsoever. If one truly needs more controls, you might need a wireless mouse/Bluetooth setup, not this robust remote.

Works

So far so good. I would give it a 5 star but there's no way to customize media player controls. No fast forward or a 10 second skip. Recommend hold for 1 second to skip song or video click to skip 10seconds, click twice for 30seconds, click 3 for 1 minute. If this happens I will be very happy with my purchase.
Update - I found a forward button. Turn phone sideways and a menu comes up and the left or right arrow button functions like I wanted them too. Still if the recommendation I wrote could be done it would make it better.

Wonderful for tech savvy teachers the still want to monitor their classroom!

Like most elementary schools, my desk has to be a certain weird way to accordant for a station or iPad chart. I hated not being able to face them as I was preparing the lesson because one quick second and, bam! Someone's finger some how "accidentally" gets stapled.
This app changed my teaching tremendously! I can monitor in the zone while looking up a topic online for all to see, stopping and stopping slide shows (PowerPoint or google slides), typing out searches, documents or forms and even the ability to put your computer to sleep or shut down before you leave the room. The best part is, I click the icon in my toolbar and it gives me a QR code. Scan. Done. Connected.
Anticipated Advancements: If the entire phone or iPad could be displayed smoothly to the main (student) screen so instructors can identify and model how to operate the students' comparable technology. This is quite the advantage to new beginning learners that are still overwhelmed, excited and learning the alphabet. Or possibly an English Language Learner, who is also confused and sometimes in a different language. Pictures and demonstrations are crucial to ELLs vocabulary development.
Lastly, if you could include a drawing function so I can possibly use in class just with my smart board. Thank you for an amazing product for teacher!

Really Works! The Best!

Want to turn your phone into a remote for your Mac. I sure did. This version does just that and there is only a very short lag. The amount of features this has, along with another app called FullControl allows a Mac user to do things that I never thought to be possible. Good for the Professor teaching to the lazy person in me that just wants to sit back and not use my mouse. A must have.

Horrible!!

At first, the app seemed promising & it was fun to control my devices with this app. I even upgraded to the paid Pro version! However, I should have waited before I paid for the Pro version, because the app (Remote Mouse) froze my screen up on a regular basis!!! First I thought it was my new PC, internet, etc...until I uninstalled the app and realized that it was the app that froze my PC!!! Do NOT buy or use this app but rather invest in a wireless keyboard that one can purchase for $9,- from Logitech or any other company, and one will have so many more options; but more importantly, actually can enjoy their PC without having to worry that it will freeze every 15-20 min! Wish I could have written a 5 star review, because the idea would have been great to use my iPhone. Did not want to give any stars but I had to give 1 star to post the review :(

So freaking fantastic, I'm writing my first app review ever

I almost lost hope, but even in my most frustrated moments there would come a whisper, "There *must* be a way to use my iPhone as a touchpad for my MacBook -- it's just so obvious that people would want that, it has to exist."
The closest I came to giving up was about 2 months ago. After reading reviews of one app after another, I was becoming convinced that VPN was the only way it could be done. That approach costs real money -- not typical App Store prices but like software prices -- which defeats the entire purpose. I could just buy a Bluetooth trackpad for that amount.
Then finally - finally, finally - I discovered Remote Mouse. I must have skipped over it in my early searches, probably because I shy away from apps that promote themselves as "free" but also have in-app purchases. Now I tell you what: I learned. my. lesson!
It's beautiful. Exactly what I'd pictured -- only better (I never thought about keyboards or sway control, for example, and both of those features are 👌👌👌).
I'm just so pleased, and my faith in hive mind has been fully restored. So here ya go -- the first app review I've ever written, a decade after I bought my first iPhone. Way to go, developers! Thank you thank you thank you!

I have used a few free apps but none worked as reliably and easily as this app. If you want to control a mouse from your phone and have it work then look no further and get this app!

Good app, costs extra

This works the way I want it to. Paid an extra four bucks to get more than the basic features. But $6 to use my phone as a track pad, to type with it, and to use the volume buttons on the phone, all to control my laptop, is well worth it. I would have given it five stars if it just priced itself at $6 upfront instead of $2.
With this I can surf the internet. I can check my email. I can do all the normal computer stuff I want to without touching my computer, just like a remote control should do.

Very useful app.

Especially useful for simple tasks like playing/pausing videos on my computer from across the room. Also useful for presentations at work. Just an all-around helpful app. And most importantly, it just syncs perfectly. Pair your phone and computer one time and never worry about it ever again. Excellent app, highly recommended for both casual and lite business purposes.

NOT CONNECTING

It is not possible to connect my iphone 6s to my computer trough wifi. I downloaded the program to my mac and I started using the app in my ipad. It was connecting fine. After a few days my app kept crashing over and over. So. I decided to give it a try in the iphone app because usually iphone apps are much better, so I bought it. BS. It doesn't even detects my computer. My ipad seems to connect just fine and my iphone wont. Please fix this or I seriously want a full refund on this app and my ipad app. And also. I hate that we have to pay for the app and inside the app theres more stuff to buy and the app doesn't even connects that good to the computer to actually be worth the money we have to spend in order to have the actual FULL version. Enhance your app. Its not very useful in real world.

Works great for me.

I am a desktop support technician, getting things to work across a magnitude of technological devices is my job and life. There are a lot of things that people are complaining about that this app does or doesn't do properly, I experience no such issues.
The app is snappy, responsive and does exactly what you need. Is it a perfect keyboard? No. Neither is the built-in keyboard for Microsoft RDP app which lets me remote into my Windows PCs. That app is created by a multibillion dollar company and this keyboard is just as friendly.
Mouse works, double clicking and right clicking is easy as pie, the keyboard is a bit ios5 looking but it works great in landscape mode. No complaints. Just wish it worked on the lock screen but I use teamviewer to log in then switch to this. (Note: mobile mouse doesn't work on log in screen either) so this is the best phone option around.

Thank You

Recently I've been having rotator cuff issues that severely limited my mobility. One of the things that hurts the most is keeping my arm extended for a long period of time to use my mouse. This has been a wonderful tool in more ways than alleviating the arm extension. I can use swift key to type with as well.
However, keyboard shortcuts aren't really accessible If you use tab, alt/tab and other shortcuts this will not be a good replacement for that specifically.

Good but no click and drag

All around, this is a pretty nice app. Fairly easy to use. Only major problem I've found so far is there's no click and drag feature aside from the one specifically for dragging windows (which doesn't actually move the window until you lift your finger - would be much better if you could see the window moving). That one should be improved to work for anything, not just windows. Then this would be a 4-5 star app.

Very good, super handy

Overall really good and super handy. For a while, it stopped finding my computer automatically and I had to connect manually all the time, but a month or so later, there was an update that fixed that. Keyboard is great. It would be fantastic if it could have a shortcut that changes the primary display from inside the App, since I use it to control my computer when it's being my TV through the projector (probably a normal use case) and sometimes windows pop up on the wrong screen and I can't get them, or can't get to menu commands.

Pretty good in general

This app is pretty much exactly what the title suggests: a remote mouse (well technically a trackpad) that you use to move around your cursor. I found it works pretty well, most of the time, i think since it works with wifi, us with slower internet sometimes get lag or sometimes even weird bugs. Overall its pretty useful but could definitely get some improvements. (Maybe use bluetooth instead of wifi ?*wink wink*)

Love it, some changes would be nice

I love the app, I felt a bit mislead when I bought the pro app over the free, I thought I was paying for all functions of the app but that wasnt true (I could have misread as well though, kinda rushed into it lol) there are only 2 things I would like to see changed/added to this app. 1. Netflix support for the Media Remote (it somewhat works as it is but pausing takes you out of fullscreen n what not), and 2. every time I press pause for windows media player it takes the screen out of full screen so then I have to move the mouse over to the full screen button every time. other than that this app is totally worth the $1.99 and the $1.99 for the Media Remote.

Awesome!

I watch a lot of TV on my computer from a recliner a few feet away. I've used a wireless mouse and other mousepad apps. This one was just ok but kind of glitchy -- until this last upgrade. Now it's awesome! It's more than just a trackpad. I can control the volume with it's remote, ESC out of full screen mode, shut down my computer, etc, all with just a tap or two. Love it!!!

Awesome and ridicules

I very much support this app as it is amazing both free and purchased, however, there is this very annoying glitch with the media remote panel. After purchase it worked great! And promptly deleted the app “Remote” as it wasn’t really necessary to have both. That is until when I went to use it a second time it gave me the option to again buy or later the feature…and when I clicked on “Buy Now” all it will give me is a loading circle on the feature. I do NOT recommend buying the in-app purchases and I want my $1.99 back.

Love it

I've got a Razer Blade Pro laptop and although I love what Razer did with the touch pad doubling as a second screen with usable apps, I just didn't like it as a track pad. With a MacBook Pro being my last computer, it had a much better feel to the track pad than my PC does so this app feels so much more natural to use. Of course, I'm going to use a mouse while I'm gaming but when I'm just casually surfing the web, this app will be nice to have.

Very Nice

I just downloaded this app on my iPhone and my Mac and got everything set up and installed in less than a minute. I didn't think it would work very well (perhaps a delay because it uses wifi) but I quickly abandoned that thought; it worked seamlessly. Though the two finger scrolling mimic falls an inch short of perfect, it's as though I'm actually using the trackpad. Great work!

Your update broke basic pointer stability

At first I was excited to see there was a massive update, including access to archived photos, a fixed toolbar, and auto-reconnect feature (all which work beautifully, by the way), but the most recent update also caused graphical glitches and severe issues to the stability of the basic pointer tracking, essentially rendering this program useless at its most basic level. This disappoints me greatly, because this was my all time favorite app until this morning. I hope for a speedy patch.

Absolutely wonderful!!

The Best feature I've discovered with this application is using an iPhone 4s I can use voice input using Siri on the iPhone to control my Macintosh, which I've not been able to accomplish with the Macintosh by itself.
I also bought the extra add on to control the media center which allows me to control the volume while watching Netflix with my Mac on the night table and my iPhone as the remote.

Great app with potential

Everything about this app and it's design is functionally intuitive. It's great to use in place of a mouse as long as you're near your computer (for which it was designed).
That being said, I would pay an upgrade fee to have the option to connect to my computer from other networks so that I may use this app in conjunction with a remote desktop access app on my iPad. The desktop app's mouse lacks the usability that I love in Remote Mouse. If I could access my desktop computer remotely and use this app with it simultaneously, I may never again use my desktop computer locally again!

Decent App but Needs 1 Big improvement!

This is a pretty good app but it defeats the purpose of "Remote Control" if the only way for you to use it, you have to be sitting at your computer. It has great potential to be a Long distance remote. However, to do that it needs to reflect the computer desktop, so we can watch movies thru different devices, browse the web and pull up videos FROM 10+ feet away. The with the ability to see what's going on, on the computer from your phone screen is essential these days. Now that would be complete control.
But It's a Nifty App nonetheless. ;)

This application is ingenious I recently had to have back surgery and cannot sit in my chair by the computer but now I can control my computer from my iPhone and do all the things that I need to to keep me occupied. I read all the reviews and have had none of these issues I'm currently using it with the netbook and a custom PC tower it works flawlessly. Thank you for programming such a great product I look forward to more functionality and updates in the future.

Author is an idiot

It's too bad that all the other apps in the app store that perform the same function are worse than this one. So this is the best one, but that's not saying much. Whoever wrote it must've been an idiot. When you click on the shift key when you're doing keyboard input, it goes to all caps mode. That's lame. You have to take it off of all caps mode after you capitalize the first letter of a word or all of the letters will be all caps. It doesn't follow the auto capitalize function of the iOS device. You can't double-click the space bar for a period. It doesn't do auto correct when you're typing with the keyboard. The bottom line is, it's the most primitive and nonfunctional keyboard input you can find. The new version has this lame and annoying click every time you press one of the mouse buttons. You can't turn that click off. This is just kindergarten development. If the author had any intelligence at all, he would've put as much work into making the app function in an intelligent way as he did the shiny new icon. Get your priorities straight. And learn how to write software that is usable.

Great app but bad selling tactic

If you believe in your product you do not have to resort to selling tactic such as not mentioned additional costs. That being said I like this app. We just had a baby and we use our laptop in his room and at times we find ourselves just out of reach to work laptop . So it's nice to just be able to just pull out you phone and keep browsing and at the same time not disturbing the baby in your arms

Deceivingly requires a secondary purchase!

First off, this app is great. Price tag is great, at first glance. Loaded with useful features (more feature on Mac). But even with the paid version of the app you will have to pay an additional $4.99 for the required PC/Mac app. There is no mention of a trial period on their website. 1 month after install you will be required to purchase a key to continue using the product. This is a huge disappointment as you cannot use the iPhone app without the desktop counterpart. The money paid for the app is completely wasted unless you pay the additional $4.99. Price is not that bad but the tactics used should not be allowed.

Very handy

This is a great app for both Mac & PC. I am a Mac guy and they built in all of the gesture and even some custom screens for ease of use. I use the dock interface to quickly open apps during video conferences.
The PC does not have the custom control interfaces but I see those coming in the future.
Overall it works great. You have good range and the controls have a some configurations to help make it react like your normal mouse.

Who's the genius who made this

Thank you for this app I'm addicted to them but this one is one of my favorites... If you could have an optional window to pull up to see what your doing on your computer on your iPhone this app would make it to the #1 spot also if you made customizable backgrounds for it in an option window from your camera roll I would pay to see that thank you and hope you take this review into consideration thanks so much!!!!

A definite buy!

When I saw the price of the Apple Remote I immediately began to look for a better option. This app is not only great for PowerPoint presentations but you can also control iTunes, quit applications on your computer, and even turn it on or off. If you are looking for a good remote this is the one you should get. I almost forgot you can also type and control the mouse of the computer from your device!

Really useful

It's great I use all the time but the player shouldn't cost extra since we already paid for the app, and ever since the last upgrade I can make my Mac book bro go on sleep mode but there is no way to make it wake up from my phone I have to go on the actual computer an type my password in so I think that should be fixed other than that it's flawless

Great App, Awesome New Features

I've used this app for a long time now. It was a bit shaky getting it to work after iOs6 came out,but now there are new features and it's working great. I like being able to choose a wallpaper for it. Having quick access to launch applications is very useful as well. I tried the gyro-metric control (or whatever its called) and its cool, but it'll take some getting used to. Quick access to remote controls and power down options can also be very useful.
Anyway- I got the app originally so I could use a keyboard and mouse from the couch when my laptop is hooked up to the tv. It continues to serve its original purpose quite nicely (better than a few others I've used in the past) and the additional features make it a no brainer. If you need a remote mouse/keyboard app, I can't recommend this one enough.

Problems with crashing on iOS 6.0

I absolutely loved the way this app works, but it crashes and the only way to be able to use it again seems to be uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also, if this occurs after you have purchased the "Customize Wallpaper" feature, you would have to re-purchase that in app feature again after the reinstall, which makes it pointless to buy unless you have a bunch of spare money to continually buy the same thing. The apps features, in my opinion, do NOT make up for these constant issues. I would not buy this app until an update that fixes the app crashing issue with iOS 6.

Works like a charm! Paid app=options

Perfect as a fully functional keyboard and touchpad remote if you connect your laptop to the tv. Like that u can turn on/off the mouse buttons, invert scrolling, change scroll and tracking speeds. The paid app even unlocks F keys, Cmd, Alt, etc. This app does require that you download the app for your computer but it is free. I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if this is Bluetooth enabled too. Works fine with wifi for my use though.
I would like to request an option to add a scroll bar on the side for lazy people like me who don't want to use 2 fingers. :)

Amazingly useful

This app on my iPhone plus with the free app from the Mac App Store has made watching TV from my computer with HDMI cable so much easier and convenient! Had to spend the 99¢ just to support the creators.
The only thing that gets really annoying is it looses the connection when you lock your phone so you have to let it realize that it has lost connection and reconnect after each time I lock my phone. When I tried turn the auto connect option on in the settings, a bug kept it crashing and I had to reinstall

Great app, small bug and one suggestion.

Works great!!! I can now use my iPad to RDP (or share my screen) into my macs or PC's and use this app that turns my iPhone into a mouse. Makes it much easier to use. I do have the same issue many people report about the app crashing repeatedly. However, I did not have this problem initially. Only after activating the AutoConnect option under setting did it begin to crash repeatedly. I deleted and reinstalled and was successfully using the app until I once again proceeded to activate the AutoConnect option under settings. Sure enough, the app began to crash repeatedly again. I believe the crashing issue is related to turning on the AutoConnect feature under setting. Leaving it off should prevent this issue; it is for me. I would like to request an enhancement that would allow the user to switch to another mac or pc; this is more obvious if you are like me that connect to multiple devices. Having to quit and restart the app just to be able to connect to an alternate device takes too many steps when it's seems that one small little button could do the trick. Just saying. Cheers. ;)

4 stars but could easily be 5

This is a good app. A delete key would be nice also. It would be a perfect app if 2 things were different. 1. When using the mouse in portrait mode, make it so you can minimize the keyboard, and have the full screen for a mouse, or have it so if you flip the phone upside down then it's mouse only in portrait mode. 2. Auto reconnect. I exit out of the mouse when I watch a long video online to save battery life. I have it set to auto connect but it still pops up something saying network error do you want to create a new connection? Can that just be gotten rid of and have it automatically connect back to the host? These 2 things would make this app the best mouse app. I've tried lots of different ones and this was the closest to what one should be, that's why I purchased this one.

Can't get keyboard or scrolling to work.

I'm using an iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1 connected to a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.6.8. The trackpad seems to work fine for basic tasks, but having to click on the scroll bar to scroll is a huge pain. I think there is a two-finger swipe functionality, but I can't get it to work.
Also, the keyboard functions to the extent of anything that requires holding a function key plus another key. For example I can hide, minimize and close windows with CMD+H, etc., or type special characters with ALT+G, etc., but I can't do simple things like type in web pages or search iTunes.
There are also so design flaws like dragging being very non-intuitive. If you click and hold on a window with one finger, and drag it around the screen with another, it doesn't move until you release the click, making this function imprecise at best.
Overall the app is very frustrating and would be a treat to use if it did anything it intended to do. Not worth the asking price.

So far so good, but a few suggestions:

Works great! But just a few suggestions: 1⃣ some sort of "lock" feature so that every time you move your hand too far one direction it wouldnt keep flipping into landscape mode & 2⃣ a way to hide the keyboard when the device is in the normal (vertical) position. 👍 otherwise, great app & the connection is better with this one than with some of the others (which is why I picked it 😉) thanks!

Fix one thing

Sweet app and everything, just one complaint. I don't like how I can't use the cursor or mousepad in the landscape position. There's a tiny space between the six buttons on the left and the arrow buttons on the right. That should and could easily be a place to slide one's finger around via cursor and double click without turning the device right side up! Other than that, sweet app. Don't let the 3 stars fool you. If I could, i'd give it a 3.75. If this improvement is made, perfect 5. #JustSayin.

Excellent

This is the better mouse apps I've run into, not to mention a working keyboard, could use some additional functions like a key lock system (think ctrl+alt+del) and support for win keyboards. (missing del button, f11, f12 keys among othersr). Has excellent response times compared to a similar app namely fone2mouse, and the support program is non intrusive as well. Will be using this many times into the future.

remote mouse works

This remote mouse is pretty cool. works on my windows and mac. if you want to control your computer from across the room then is great for the price. the keyboard works as well. two thumbs up :)
for some reason two finger scroller is not working on mac and not able to drag and drop items. maybe be due to wifi lag. Also on a more technical side when i use remote desktop on windows the remotephone keyboard will not send keystrokes.
my other problem is getting to the software on my pc. i want to turn the software off and on and cant find the running app on mac or windows. to stop software i would have to find files and uninstall. maybe i am missing something. all in all it is a cool app. needs more work.

Only $2!!

Take the 3 minutes and read the manual. This has three options. You can hold upright, get a keyboard and touch mouse with right, center, and left clicks, turn one way expanded keyboard and the other a full screen touch mouse (3 click options). THE BEST MOUSE APP I've EVER encountered. Quick easy set up and instal (norton approved) on the pc/Mac. To get t all set up it was approximately 5 minutes. Works like a charm. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. iPhone 4 and PC user.

Definitely worth it.

I'm not one of those artificial bots, if there are such things. I'm not a person with any personal stock in this app. But I can tell you, as a real live customer who downloaded this app, it is a great one! I can control my computer which is great when I watch movies via HDMI cord or something like that. I love the fact that it's so fast! I honestly and genuinely encourage you to try it and see for yourself!

Amazing App that does what it says!

I bought the full app at $1.99 after I used the free trial version and was amazed at how fast the signal went from my iPod Touch through my wireless router, and back to my computer! I use this app when I'm giving presentations and you don't have to be near your computer to control it, you only have to be in the WiFi range that the computer you are controlling is hooked up to. Overall I'd recommend this app to anyone because it is unlike all of the other mouse/keyboard apps available. The keyboard is also very nice and when your not using it, you simply tilt (rotate) your iPod, iPhone, or iPad so you have the entire screen as only a mouse touchpad. This app is incredible and I can say I'll be using it till my iPod breaks!

Great app but there's a problem

This is the first time I ever write a review for an app. This app os really good does what it's supposed to at least for the most part and this is were my problem is the typing has something that goes wrong with might just be mine and not something that will happen to you but once I contacted the makers of this over 2 weeks ago or more they have still yet replied back to me and I paid for this app and to not get some sort of help is what's stopping me from giving this a better review.

Love this app so much

Except for some reason it only works when I'm in the home screen where u got the nice background and icons n stuff, and in games. But when I first click on an icon, I get a UAC notification (as I have windows 7), and when it comes up I I can't control the mouse unless I use the wired mouse that came with the computer. And it doesn't work when I'm in my internet browser either. I love the app but please fix these problems!!!!

Great, I finally can use the computer from my bed

I bought it for my ipod and worked perfectly. I then put it on an ipad and it works on 2x. There is another ipad version but i would also have to pay for it. I would give it 5 stars if the app were a "+" app instead of having to buy a version for my ipod and another one for my ipad. Other than that, the mouse, clicking and keyboards work great. When dragging a window it doesn't pick and drag the window, it's just drops it off where you let go of the mouse button. Maybe that the only "con" but has never been really a problem.

Great so far...:)

I just bought this app yesterday. My PC keyboard is messed up, and I can't replace it at the moment. But with this app, I am able to supplement my keyboard with the keypad from my iPhone. Very cool indeed! Great price, hardly any problems. Only thing I would comment on, would be the initial setup. Was a bit slow to get going, but now it connects fast, and I rate it 5 stars for being the best app, in my opinion, of it's kind thus far. Keep up the great work!

What problem?

Remote Mouse worked well for me immediately… after I set it up according to the instructions in the manual.
If you are having trouble using this, try checking your IP address on the iPhone AND on the desktop Mac, which is also a good way to be sure both machines are connected to the SAME (as in _same_) wireless network. In this New York apartment, my Mac can "see" over twenty wireless networks, and three of them are open networks.
Connecting manually was faster for me than the automatic choice. Remote Mouse is worth the price for me if only as a dumb computer trick. How much I'll use it remains to be seen. Its name should make great anagrams.

What a amazing app

I'm looking for a app which can turn my iphone into a remote controller. I've tried many apps since last summer. And this one is the best I would say. Compare to other apps, the remote mouse's price and function are a huge feature. I like it, while my wife also like it.
One more thing, you have to read the mannuel before you try to show your magic to friends.
