Remote Mouse is great and does exactly what they claimed it would. It was a quick install and I was using it within seconds of completing the installation. When I go to bed, I set my MacBook Pro at the end of my bed on a small end table, in order to watch a movie of some tv before I fall asleep. I had previously had to get up and down out of bed, in order to change the movie, adjust the volume or skip ahead to a different scene. I found Remote Mouse in the App Store and thought I’d give it a try. I LOVE it and I can literally control my whole computer just from my phone. The mouse response is quick and accurate and the features are plentiful! I would highly recommend this app if you need to control your Mac from your phone. Also, using your phone as a trackpad is a nice change, from using the featureless mousepad. I give this app 5 stars!
“Connection failed” issue
IWannaMeetKanyeWest
This app works great most of the time, however while I am using the app, I tend to lock my device in between using the app (as you would put down a TV remote when you’ve found a program to watch) rendering me unable to reconnect unless I delete the app on both devices and reinstall it. This usually is the only way to get it to work again. Manually reconnecting the devices just results in a connection failure message. This is why I haven’t bought the Pro version, to avoid complications of restoring purchases every time I have to reinstall the app just to connect again. When it is connected however, it works well. The connection problems are the only issue I’ve faced so far. Thanks for the app, it’s saved a lot of getting up and walking to the laptop to change anything on it. Oh and the iPad app not having the keypad accessible is also quite a restriction, but even on the iPad app I face this “connection failed” issue, so it’s not just my devices.
Need version prior last update
ja929
Since the upgrade and move of the switch panel and mouse to the bottom of the screen I am having more problems to move the mouse from my phone as the bottom half of the screen now has the panel and the buttons and that requires to slide my finger on the upper screen half which is quickly tiring my whole hand and arm. Also now the option to switch off is way to the right of the switch panel which makes is hard to hold the phone, slide the panel and to push the button using my left hand only. For that reason I would like to switch to the older version with the switch panel and mouse at the top of the screen which eases up the use for me and makes the app more accessible.
broke my trust
Mr. Icee
I’m unaware if it’s some sort of error but I am not unable to use it at all, used to show my computer via wifi just fine, I would pay if I was given the option, and not forced. seems very slimy to allow me to use it and suddenly now I can’t connect via bluetooth when it won’t show up via wifi, like it always would. excuse the run on sentences but I don’t care to write this review with perfect grammar because of how lame of an action this is, I was allowed to use bluetooth to connect to my computer now I can’t, I can’t even use it so I might as well delete this app. I don’t know who’s idea it was to try and nickel and dime us but you’ve lost a formerly loyal customer. until I can at the very LEAST use remote mouse via wifi I’m not gonna consider spending 14 dollars, I was fine with this glitch when I could also use bluetooth but they moved it to be behind a paywall, I’m probably just gonna find some way of solving this without their app such as a touch screen bluetooth mouse alternative. don’t waste your 14 dollars on people who clearly don’t care. I may be wrong given this is some sort of software error, but it doesn’t seem like that, it seems very suspicious.edit:I’m not the only person having ip/wifi connectivity issues, so it isn’t something on our parts. if I can’t use the base service for free without all the extras you don’t deserve my money. I’m sure the paid version works, not cool guys.
- Added support for 7 new languages: Danish, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Ukrainian, Thai, and Vietnamese.
- Improved RTL support and fixed display issues in the Arabic interface.
