Customer Reviews
Rubbish
First of all this app DOES function, and is not a total waste of money. That being said I feel like at an asking price of $8 it really needs to work well. Which is does not. The track pad function is a joke, it might as well not even have on. You CAN NOT use two finger gesturers, to do something like DRAG A WINDOW! It allows you to move the mouse, and click, and even double tap to drag, but if you try to use it like a real track pad, it does not work. I mention this because I have another app Rowmote that DOES do that quite well.
The remote screen viewing works quite well; it's main draw back being that this is something that I would want to utilize when away from my house, and the app absolutely CAN NOT connect over the internet. Rendering the remote desktop function kind of moot.
Don't get me wrong it does some things quite well, but this app has been out for quite a while and for the asking price I want more functionality than this. The things it succeeds at is the application switching, and dock utilization: the interface it beautiful and organic. But that's really it.
This app has a lot of features that are really good, they just don't work at all. Please update, I'll be happy to change my rating.
best $4 ive ever spent
got the app for ipad and iphone, by far the coolest thing ive ever seen for sale in the app store. forget 'Remote' and 'VLC remote,' this is the ultimate, bar none. In all honesty, I'd be banned from iTunes if I were to use the language normally associated with something this awesome.
Needs Lion Support
Black screen in lion. Please update, then I give back stars.
