4.3 out of 5

No longer supported

2022-05-22

Contacted support about RowmotePro not working on my iPhone XR. The author told me it doesn’t work on my phone. I’m also getting a warning on my macOS Catalina HTPC that a library is out of date and will not be supported in future updates. Apple needs to give authors a window to ensure their apps support the current platforms and OS’s, otherwise risk your app being removed from the store. Or, put a restriction as to what devices can download based on their current OS/Hardware and whether or not RowmotePro has been verified by the to support that OS/Hardware combination.

Used to be great. Now junk

2022-06-23

RowmotePro used to be amazing. Now with, I guess all of the iOS updates, RowmotePro very rarely even connects, or in the middle of using it, it disconnects. If anything does work at all it’s only the pause button. The mousepad/trackpad never works period. Very disappointing. Used to be quite amazing.

Re 4.2.4

2022-07-24

I’ve been using rowmote for many years and it’s never worked quite as it should, I just updated to 4.2.4 and finally it’s working as it should… That is until I restarted my computer, at which point it’s back to its jerky movements old self… oh well maybe the next step date or fix it…. Regardless, still a great app…

And this app used to be all you needed

2022-08-25

Once upon a time this was the best remote control on RowmotePro Store. Simple and sleek in its design, it allowed you to easily control your Apple devices… Now there are a lot of connection issues and sometimes even if your computer is in range it says that it’s unavailable. The troubleshooting help on the website is a very little help, but if you email the support team they do get back to you relatively quickly. I would say the fact that they don’t bother to update the information in RowmotePro Store, compatible applications, or the design of RowmotePro says a lot. I don’t know if RowmotePro is on its way out, but that’s what it feels like nowadays.

Connection issues

2022-09-26

RowmotePro was great at first but throughout the years there have been constant connection issues. Please fix asap.

Usefull but still has connection problems

2022-10-27

I have been using RowmotePro for about 2 years solid now everyday probably every 30 minutes or so for a few hours a day. Up until about six months ago it was perfect. Then started having connection issues with every single use. Sometimes it can't reconnect unless I restart the entire program on both the mac and ipad. So I reinstalled on both, if anything the issue has gotten worse. So its only effective to use maybe about 70% of the time. Otherwise its a great app and can be extremely useful when working properly.

Great interface

2022-11-28

The Pro version is easily the best remote when it works. For years now it’s been ridiculously difficult to connect to my computer. It often takes 10 attempts to connect. It’s incredibly frustrating. I’ve written to the dev about it twice and he was dismissive. Roll the dice and try your luck.

Best money I’ve spent on a app

2022-12-29

Used RowmotePro for years. Wish they would update it to play nice with my new iPhone.

When can the app the be updated to be compatible with new iPhones

2023-01-30

I love RowmotePro, but when can it be updated to be compatible with new iPhones?

The track pad does not work

2023-03-03

I have been using RowmotePro for years now, it wasn’t until recently that RowmotePro started acting up. Everything works amazing except the track pad does not work on my MacBook anymore. I deleted and downloaded RowmotePro again but it did nothing other than paying for the pro version again.

Needs update for iPhone X and XR still

2023-04-01

Currently on the XR and the full functionality isn’t there. Works great on my old iPhone 6 but on XR it doesn’t fit the display and buttons are not all working etc. Please see what you can do dev team.

Great

2023-05-03

I think this is the best one out there, however sometimes it does take a while to connect or gets lost. What would be even better is if the volume button were mapped since I need to use command volume to change the system volume on my iMac with my Apollo preamp.

Still works after 5+ years of use

2023-06-03

Love RowmotePro, does exactly what I want. When I’m too lazy to go over to my computer I can remotely sleep it. I can move the mouse. I can control the volume... it’s just works the way I want it to. A few times I’ve had connection problems but that’s been less than 10% of the time.

Dope App

2023-07-05

I’ve been using RowmotePro for years. It’s never given me issues of any sort. It just always works and with almost every option a keyboard and trackpad has. This is especially nice since I have rearranged my home studio. I no longer need to sit directly in front of the computer to record and perform light engineering work. Very happy.

ILOVEIT

2023-08-05

But please I SAY PLEASE do an update for the new iphone X screen so that sweet curve ui gets an all around curve illusion in the shape of the iphone x screen! (hope you understand what i’m trying to say...)

Big Sur Problems

2023-09-06

With the update to Big Sur came the Airplay feature no longer being executed. When I try any airplay feature with Rowmote pro and the latest helper update none of the actions work. Please let me know if I can fix this on my own or if it is a known bug being addressed. Thanks for the terrific app. Been using it for years.

Best Mac remote control app

2023-10-08

I’ve been using RowmotePro on multiple Macs for years. Works every time :)

A must have remote app for Mac!

2023-11-08

I have RowmotePro for years and it has never failed me. Seriously, when I can’t get Bluetooth keyboards to work or remote apps to wake wake a stubborn Mac, this is RowmotePro I turn to. When I want to sleep my monitor at night, this is RowmotePro I turn to. When I’m listening to Pandora through my home thanks to airplay speakers and this is app I turn to for control of the music. I cannot say enough great things about it. It’s great anytime you have a Mac connected to a tv directly or through an AppleTV.

Honestly, I hope the developers don’t mess with a good thing and just keep it great. I have read the other reviews, so I’m curious was others think.

Works as advertised

2023-12-10

Trouble free remote control. I've had no issues.

Excellent

2024-01-10

Having tried virtually every remote app since the initial iPad 1, I’ll never understand the low adoption rate of RowmotePro.

On the negative side, it’s no frills nothing fancy.

On the plus side, it works. It works. It always, since the initial release, works. It’s infinitely more functional and versatile than any other HTPC remote app or the Apple Remote. It’s super simple to use.

This is the only interface my family will use to watch Plex. There's an Apple TV4 sitting on top of our media mini. But when it’s time to watch Plex, the tv input is immediately switched to the mini and someone reaches for an i-device. For the simple reason Rowmote always works.

The fact it works without our ATV4 in the chain is an added bonus. The ATV is hardly the paragon of stability. It also takes the Plex app/Infuse/MrMC and all the others out of the loop. Users of these apps will know the value of this statement.

Standing the Test of Time

2024-11-21

I’ve been using Rowmote since 2012... let that one sink in. How many other 3rd party apps that only perform one function do you use for over 6 years without issue?

Rowmote is invaluable as a tool, seamless across laptop and desktop, and has been an aid in SFX, Presentations, and even couch surfing like none other.

Imagining the behind-the-scenes work of getting Rowmote to consistently work across an ever-changing slew of both mobile and desktop devices is admirable. It’s execution: highly effective.

I recommend RowmotePro again and again to anyone requiring such a tool. They’re never disappointed either.
