Skeptical….but BLOWN AWAY

I have many systems in my possession, highly technical and had tried the entire lot of remote apps offered on mobile, PC, macOS, and Linux based clients. I’m also a religious user of Jump Desktop due to its cross platform functionality but I’ve yearning for something that isn’t Screen Sharing/VNC that I can control my media controls with on my PCThis reminds app seems to be inspired by the very best elements of all media control apps Ive tried. It reminds me of the native iOS Apple TV app(let) that’s on iOS. The cherry on top was that this developer took the time to update this to be waded as a Home ScreenWIDGET. Even if don’t need any added functionality; that alone is worth trying this thing out. There’s nothing this developer can do to improve it… unless Apple can allow devs to add it into the Control Center, but now that it’s accessible via Home Screen…:why would I need to now?. Maybe a Linux/Unix client in the future? I dunno man, absolutely brav-O though! Thanks for making this complimentary, I’ll be sure to send over a tip!

Couldn’t Live Without Remote•Pro

It has been almost a decade since I first got Remote Pro and I cannot imagine my electronic life without it. This app is far more than just a tv remote, I use it to open and close apps, switch to an app, and see the screen when I am not in the same room with the desktop; among other things. I have multiple Apple devices and not all of the are compatible with the universal control feature that Apple is now offering. I don’t feel the need to upgrade for the sake of bragging rights or to get something from Apple that I already have with Remote•Pro. It works on my iPad Pro so I can see the entire screen and move around in comfort, it works seamlessly with my Apple Watch so I can, for instance, be cooking, pause whatever is playing, and take the call. Sure, I could do exactly the same with my phone but that is exactly the point, I can have the phone in one place, the desktop doing something, and take a call without changing the screen with the cookbook to anything else on my iPad because they are all connected and perform all the functions of Remote•Pro seamlessly.Years ago, I have forgotten how many, I had a problem and, before I knew it, I had an email from Evgeny Cherpak discussing the issue and (AFAIK) it was fixed soon after because it has never happened again. All I can say is that I hope Mr. Cherpak keeps making a version that supports Intel Macs for a long time to come.

Time and time again, my ONLY go to!

I must say this is easily one of the best remote apps for my iMac and I consistently use on a daily basis. When I first got my iMac back in 2013 I had started doing a lot of work with it and down the road came across this app while searching for ways to utilize its power. I’d recommend the pro version of this to anybody who has an iMac!! Seriously please continue to keep this app thriving Cherpake! I’m sure not the only one who enjoys this app. I’m not sure exactly why people give this app a low rating at times but it’s EXTREMELY powerful. Hear me out, the fact that it does almost everything that no other app does for Mac such as open applications with unique icons, control all audio, and remote screen sharing, makes it the best app out here on the store for mac. Best purchase I’ve ever made on the AppStore for an Apple guy like myself. Thank you Cherpake. Cheers!

Live Show Trigger / Plus Studio Aide

I’m a composer, producer, and performer. After producing pieces with multiple parts, the goal became about how to create the same performance in a live presentation but with fewer people on stage. For this one particular event, I had no engineer, and the stage was not set up exclusively for my particular performance. Well, I connected my laptop to the house mixer, soundchecked it, and triggered my backing tracks in my computer’s DAW (digital audio workstation) wirelessly and flawlessly. Killed the show and got a standing ovation. No engineer, no sound man, no wires, and no hassles. Five Stars and kudos to this developer.Update: December 21, 2021Evgeny, thanks for remaining consistent. This is still what I do, and especially during the pandemic I had no recording engineer to enable record and punch in for recording takes, to this app became a lifesaver. I did some of my best work in studio with no help whatsoever. So now over the past two years from Covid to now, this app has saved me thousands in engineer fees. Thank you for this, and blessings to you and yours in the coming year. - David

Pretty frickin cool

I found this app after searching for a few weeks for something like it. Reading reviews and comparing capabilities and such. I initially got the free version to see if it did what I was looking for and was greatly impressed with this apps functions and customizable options. It works really well almost identical to a mouse/remote control. Exactly what I wanted.One downfall which I think is not too bad is that when I finally bought the full version it started to crash, (could’ve also been my internet connection because that later changed) but sometimes it doesn’t want to automatically connect to my MacBook. I don’t mind this too much because I’m not too lazy to just do whatever I need to on my actual laptop if the app is down or maybe updating. But as a paid version I suppose it could be improved (?) I’m pretty laid back on regardless mostly because overall with everything laid out in front of me, I really like this app. It gets the job done and continues to improve anyway so it’s not a big deal.One last thing. Every time I use this app my friends and family are always amazed that I’m controlling my laptop from my phone. I think it’s great and definitely worth the purchase for the full version.

Very useful.

EDIT: I find that this one of only a small few that I open for remote purposes, and the only one that isn’t dedicated to a certain program on my PC. So, even though I hardly give five star reviews, this is one, just for the usefulness factor that I get. Full review below. I’ve been using this app for quite a while, and it works very well. I love not having to use my desktop mouse when I don’t feel like it. One of the best features for me, is that it has various keypads for things like Netflix/Hulu/arrow keys/NumPad, and I can make more with ease. Some PC games only require a low number of keys, so this app is perfect for those. The reason I gave it only 4 stars, is that any app/game/etc. is never ‘perfect’, and has room to grow/flourish/upgrade, so rating 5 stars is uncommon for me.

A True Benchmark For Thoughtful Utility

This app (and its companions) are truly an exercise in thoughtful ingenuity. Basically if you want something, anything really, done on your Mac, this remote app allows you to either do it from a premade function within the app or spend a few minutes “building” the feature you want to use to manipulate your Mac with scripts and Siri commands (and I’m sure much more). I do wish the app developers website was more detailed in how to use the many, many, many features. I’ve mostly caught on but I can tell there’s this entire feature set waiting in there to be utilized but I’m just not savvy or knowledgeable enough to know and the directions are scant or relegated to more basic functions. However, having more options than you know how to use isn’t exactly my idea of a huge problem. The apps are constantly being updated and always becoming more useful and streamlined. It’s obvious with every update someone who cares about these products is on the other end dreaming up ways to polish the feature set. Thanks, friend!

Wonderful!

(Actual rating is 4.5) This app is fully worth your money! The best use case i’ve found for it has been when my computer is connected to a tv or monitor away from me and i need to quickly control its keyboard/mouse. it’s a lot easier to use this app than to go out of my way to purchase a bluetooth mouse and keyboard which i would have to use in the dark. the app also allows you to have quick controls over the volume, play/pause, and etc which are better alternatives to scrolling using the trackpad. the final feature i would like to highlight is the ability to launch and close apps (and more) from the app. it is a truly helpful tool and i would get it again. The only thing i would want the developer to improve is the apps ui to make it better looking and more user friendly. Not that it is lacking in the latter part but it would be improved by better aesthetics. Other than that, this is a great app.

Time = Money

The track pad I was considering buying, no longer on the table. This allows me to only need my phone for my mac and other needs. As my TV remote is used for power, volume, and changing sources. I can use less and do more, gives me the freedom to be in another room on the same wifi and play music across my home from my mac. Launching apps like Netflix, or VPNs are a breeze, I can leave my mac closed and do everything as I have been before, but from the comfort of my couch, bed, or balcony. I haven’t found any problems with it besides the keyboard disabling and stopping me from typing, but that doesn’t last more than a couple seconds and I’m right back. Minor inconvenience, but no reason to drop a star. Highly grateful for this app and well worth the money. I’d rather spend a few bucks on an app than spend X amount on a trackpad that I can lose and that adds to clutter.

Absolute Must Have Useful App

I originally debated on purchasing this... but I knew how much I wanted something like this for daily use, and after many months I can say without a doubt this was one of the best app purchases I’ve ever made! It is one of the few apps that I honestly use practically daily because I have an entertainment PC hooked up to my living room television and previously had no simple way to control it; this app solves my issue wonderfully and if you have a similar potential use case, you definitely need to grab this app! The customization is great too, I made a “streaming” custom keypad that has one press buttons for each of my major streaming services that auto-launch chrome and go directly to “my queue” on that service’s page; unbelievably convenient!My one and ONLY complaint is that the desktop portion, which is understandable needed for pairing purposes and is super easy to download and install, is that part does pop a windows “okay to run” type window on PC startup, so unless you leave your PC running all the time, you’ll still need an alternate control device just to approve that windows box (perhaps there is some system level thing that can just set the desktop part of this app to auto-run and allow access at startup without user approval, but I’m not sure). Regardless of that one issue, this app is a no-brainer investment for how much use you will certainly get out of it!
