Remote, Mouse & Keyboard Reviews

by IPTuser

After some checking out the folder structure I found a file called ‘Bouncy House Crypto’ seems liike something crept into the PC software. Please ignore my review, until I type otherwise.

Old review:
It’s AWESOME, and will save me some time. It’s a little fiddly to set up though: If your computer says it’s a trojan or something like that, here’s how I solved that: I downloaded the helper program using an app called Documents (By Readdle; free on RemoteMouseKeyboard Store), and then uploaded it to my Dropbox account; I downloaded the installer on my PC, restarted the PC, and ran the program; my anti malware program said that the website was iffy, but I put an exclusion for that site on my anti malware program (you’ll have to find out how to do it yourself), and then everything worked fine. I usually only give a four star review tops, because every app/program could be improved (there’s no such thing as perfection), but I gave RemoteMouseKeyboard an extra star due to the excellent customer support; I sent a support message, and within half an hour got a response. Now, about RemoteMouseKeyboard ... There are a ton of presets for different programs that you can control, and you can create your own if you need to. I’d give this a hearty thumbs up, if my thumbs weren’t busy right now typing this review. Thank you Dev, for creating this helpful app, and I wish you luck in your ongoing pursuits.

I used to have an app called Hippo Remote which worked really well. As it happens sometimes, Apple rolls out a new iOS and the apps you purchased cease to work if the developer does not update RemoteMouseKeyboard . So I tried RemoteMouseKeyboard. 1. The free version doesn’t let you do anything, it is really annoying, waste of time to install it. 2. I don’t like the yearly payment option where you can cancel after a month - typically you have to fill out a form with payment details (time consuming) + need to remember to cancel outstanding payments, prefer to pay when I need the product). There is no option to try RemoteMouseKeyboard for a little while and then pay if you find RemoteMouseKeyboard useful. So i decided to purchase RemoteMouseKeyboard to try it, to then discover that my MacMini cannot run the helper (you need OSX 10.9 min). True it is stated in the system requirements section but when you purchase RemoteMouseKeyboard through an iphone (it is an iphone app after all) you need to click to look for additional information, it is not that obvious. However, the developer suggested I get a refund, which I have done. I praise him for replying to user comments.

I love the concept and a lot of time, effort, and actual thought was put into it, the delivery however it is lack luster. The mouse lags a bit and even cranked as fast as it can go is slow but is still usable. On the Apple Watch it’s surprising good but getting the prompt of what mouse type you want every time gets annoying. By far the worst thing about RemoteMouseKeyboard on iPhone and the Apple Watch is the dreaded scroll wheel. Unless it’s set to as slow as it goes which then it makes it not even respond at times is way too fast and needs finer input. Without a doubt the scroll wheel is completely unusable. I also find it obnoxious that I can’t control the volume without having to exit and go to a different tab it just seems inconvenient. On the watch it makes sense but even on the phone you have to go to a different tab. I would recommend also that there’s two settings one for the phone and one for the Apple Watch it doesn’t make sense that they would have the same settings of sensitivity on the two devices considering how much smaller the mouse is on the watch. This becomes even more apparent when you try to scroll because I am somebody who prefers the scroll to be inverted on my phone but on the watch it feels more natural the normal way but you can only have it set one way for both devices.

I plug my laptop to the living room TV to watch movies with my family, but always struggled with using the wireless KB&M when I’m trying to relax on the couch. I found RemoteMouseKeyboard and cause I wanted to improve my quality of life while at home. RemoteMouseKeyboard is perfect cause now I can browse the internet and watch my favorite shows without hassling with the KB&M even tho they’re wireless. Everything is done on my phone. Great tracking response and easy to use the keyboard on RemoteMouseKeyboard .

Just a few tips tho to improve RemoteMouseKeyboard .

-Scrolling speed is way too fast/sensitive even with the speed set all the way to low
-Not sure what the scroll wheel mouse click does (doesn’t go to forever scroll mode while on a web page)
-Some features don’t work while the computer is on sleep or the display is off like “Wake” or “Display On” not sure why they’re there in the first place
-Cannot use RemoteMouseKeyboard while on the Lock Screen of your PC. You have to log in first even tho you’re connected to the same network and also unable to use while an admin prompt is on screen.

Other than those tiny issues, RemoteMouseKeyboard is amazing and also the customization features are great. 5stars!!

One day I was sitting across the room from Mac after a hard days work wanting to turn some music on but really not wanting to get up and get the mouse so I went on RemoteMouseKeyboard Store to see if there was something that would help and found this! Used free version and instantly upgraded to lifetime access. There is so much about RemoteMouseKeyboard that shows that a lot of care, creativity and a genuine effort to make available a tool for people to use to make life a little bit easier. Much thanks to the personality behind RemoteMouseKeyboard and I can’t wait to see what else they come up with.

This is an awesome app, makes my life easy. Only issue found was that there are too many different apps when you search this, i had the “lite version” and upgraded within RemoteMouseKeyboard , but it didn’t upgrade it to the regular app, it worked like the pro which is fine i think I’m just a little ocd about having the little red feather thing on my app at home screen. This literally has nothing to do with RemoteMouseKeyboard , i just wanted to throw it out there that it doesn’t update RemoteMouseKeyboard display on the home screen, so don’t upgrade within RemoteMouseKeyboard , just go back and search and buy the 4.99 version. Wish i could get a refund on the in app purchase but whatever. Serious though, RemoteMouseKeyboard is sick!

I honestly can’t remember how much I paid for RemoteMouseKeyboard but whatever the amount was, it was worth it Masha’Allāh!!! I use RemoteMouseKeyboard in conjunction with Luna display to remote access my Mac Mini from my bedroom upstairs, while my Mac stays hooked up to my work monitor in my downstairs office. Sometimes (a lot of times) Luna display doesn’t wanna play nice with my Mac, but RemoteMouseKeyboard bridges any gaps!! I use it to restart my Mac remotely and I have the helper app set up for automatic launch whenever automatic login occurs, so it’s saved my sanity several times in a very short time of using it. I can view my desktop in RemoteMouseKeyboard too when I need to! This is soooo helpful esp when my iPad isn’t displaying what I need to see on the remote screen in a given moment. Mouse, keypad, desktop view, app control, power control, super customizable gestures and settings— I can’t say enough about this amazing app. Kudos to the developer, he is my hero, THANK YOU & and bless you!!!

Idk what the going price is rn for pro, but you will not regret paying it, I promise. I’m just getting started with learning all the cool features and RemoteMouseKeyboard makes me really happy I have a Mac. So I can use this awesome app 😂

Great application and very well developed.. Some of the perks are given complimentary with the requisition for a subscription to have 100% access to all features.. This is fine by me, I mean to download a remote control application, concern for all feature access shouldn’t matter, it doesn’t to me anyway.. What matters is functionality, sharpness of working parameters, sliders, haptic feedback(adjustable for strength of vibration, and to turn off completely), IMPRESSIVE DESIGN ALL AROUND. Well thought out, some minor personalizing available to make it esthetically pleasing to one’s individual taste or preferences..🥇🥇🏆🏆
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️STARS from me on this APPLICATION 👍🏻.. Great job design/development teams!!!!😎😎👨🏽‍💻👨🏽‍💻👨🏽‍💻💻💻🖥🖥📱📲📲💾💾💿📀💽🛠🛠📊📊

If you have always used Apple (Products ) or you just started, you will want RemoteMouseKeyboard. You can literally do anything that you can do on your Mac, but control it and see your Mac screen if you like, from any other Apple device. I.e., iPhone, MacBook, iPad, etc.… Oh, even your iWatch. Hey I know I’m a nerd, but that is pretty freaking cool to have my watch turn into a mouse trackpad for my computer. The bottom line is this, not only has this person work their butts off on this program, because it is very, very detail oriented. But it is a product that you will love. Especially for the price. I believe I went ahead and did the lifetime purchase. I can’t see myself not ever using it.

by Kurtisboyd

Amazing app! The free version has so many great options, the UI is really well thought out, and the ability to make shortcuts for certain actions is a game changer and definitely worth the upgrade price! Well done.

The only thing I’d ask for to make this 100% perfect is the ability to tie a custom input (eg. A specific keyboard combination) to a shortcut so that I can include them in my automations. For example, I tap an NFC sticker and it uses the shortcut that turns on my computer, and then it uses a shortcut to send the keynord input “********” (my actual password in place of the *’s) to log into my computer. Not sure if this is even possible on iOS, but if it is then I really hope it can be added!

I am incredibly indebted to RemoteMouseKeyboard. Here’s why. I am one of those oddball audiophiles. The type who has an audio system which cost more than a new Porsche. I prefer the golden era of gear from the 90’s and in particular tubed gear. There have been so many tube preamps which I’ve wanted to buy and try but had to pass, because yes, I need one with a remote to control volume. Most of the preamps from the 90’s lack remote capabilities. Enter RemoteMouseKeyboard..I can now use any preamp I want, and have track controls to boot! Sure, it works just on my digital streaming listening, not on my turntable analog setup, but I am doing 90% of my listening these days via high resolution digital. Amazing app which I purchased a lifetime access to. Thank you for creating this!

by Bo Xan

This is an incredible app and I now use my iPhone 12 pro max as a trackpad remote for my music for recording and logic pro for everything and it’s a simple as touching icon and your phone changes into the Mac desktop and all your apps disappear off your phone temporarily and then he just hit it again and it turns back on the phone I’ve tried turning on and off the screen everything works like a dream wonderful wonderful app should be much more expensive. Can’t say enough good things about it I’m a professional artist musician and composer producer and this is the real deal for anyone at any level.

Best,
Malcolm

My boyfriend got me introduced to RemoteMouseKeyboard as I watch TV on my PC Monitor, but I don’t like getting up to click on my mouse turning everything off at 3:00 in the morning. Yes, the Upgrade Slide is extremely annoying at some points but at the same time; RemoteMouseKeyboard is free to use, and I understand the Developers must make a living. But it can be a bit pesky sometimes having to close out of it every time you enter RemoteMouseKeyboard . Updates can make the connection to the computer janky once in a while, however, normally uninstalling it and reinstalling it will allow it to reconnect to your TV, PC, etc. Overall, RemoteMouseKeyboard works great. There’s quirks and flaws for everything, but even the basic, free version allows you to function minimal things that will get you by on usage.

Hey this is a great FREE APP. I paid for remote mouse (green logo) and still had limited functionality unless I bought more items such as Media control. However RemoteMouseKeyboard of remote mouse, I personally call it my SPEEDY MOUSE cuz it’s fast and Free and it controls all functions, volumes included. I use RemoteMouseKeyboard on my Windows 10 desktop, laptop, iPad, and my iMac all through my iPhone. Personally I am a computer repair guy with over 10 years experience and this FREE app, (Speedy mouse is my personal name for it) has been GREAT. Fast connection with memory, multitasking between iMac and windows 10 desktop, volume controls and all keyboard functions. So I gladly say THANK YOU SIR. I would highly suggest RemoteMouseKeyboard for anyone on any computer, laptop, iPad, etc. It gets the job done without any headaches. Peace be with you and stay blessed and safe.
p.s. I will definitely pay for it as well cuz it is worth a monetary value.

by The Real Great One

This is by far the best remote app for my Mac I have ever used. It works extremely well and the developer is very active with updates and bug fixes (it’s rare there is a bug but when one does pop up it is fixed very quickly). RemoteMouseKeyboard is all around great, I mainly use it as an iTunes remote for when I’m using my Mac to watch movies on my tv but I’ve found it’s great for long downloads or installing new software because I can mirror my macs screen and control everything without having to get up. Definitely worth every penny.
I paid full price and this is my honest unbiased opinion.

After countless apps and time. Finally found an app that can wake my Mac from sleep plus a lot of either great features as a bonus. Please don’t do anything to change the way RemoteMouseKeyboard works in an update. It works great like it is and is literally the only app that works. I won’t be able to find another if it gets broken in an update.

by MoonWalkersMix

RemoteMouseKeyboard is honestly amazing! You can do pretty much anything you want it to when it comes to connecting to your Mac it has dedicated apps that run from Mac that are easily controlled by your phone such as iTunes, FaceTime etc. allowing you to open or close the application that includes third-party apps as well like Microsoft word or PowerPoint. but the best part is it also works as a keyboard and mouse. I love this feature because my magic keyboard and mouse sometimes have to charge and while they’re charging I have a back up plan, it’s also amazing because my Mac sits sort of in front of my bed where I tend to watch and stream videos which was a nuisance to have to get up to go browse the next episode, but now I don’t have to! I simply pull up my phones app, it takes control of the cursor on the screen and you’re good to go. Five out of five for sure! Shout out to the developer and his hard work!

by DrVainMD

I use RemoteMouseKeyboard every single day. It’s expanded the ways I can interact with my devices and is one of the great tools I’ve stumbled across for use with home automation. Additionally, RemoteMouseKeyboard is beautifully designed and obviously something the developer has put an unbelievable amount of time and effort. I’ve only scratched the surface with the vast (and I do mean VAST) capabilities of RemoteMouseKeyboard , but am sincerely excited to continually get to know the abilities it has and to what new heights the designer/developer has planned in the future. I will be honest, there is a slight learning curve to RemoteMouseKeyboard —as there is with anything that is worth while, but that shouldn’t be something that is a negative or cause for not giving it a chance. Spend a little time with it, researching and playing around with it, and it will yield some really amazing implementations. So kick the tires and look under the hood and get your hands dirty, you definitely won’t regret it!

I don’t usually write reviews for apps but this one was too good not to. I don’t have a straight up TV in my room but I do have a monitor, the problem was if I wanted to use my Mac I’d have to sit close to the screen or use my mouse and keyboard, which are really inconvenient to use on a bed. I only really needed a mouse but RemoteMouseKeyboard solves that and a multitude of of other things. I don’t use the paid version, but the free version seems to have most of the same features with ads, which I’m fine with. There’s a small amount of input lag, which is to be expected, but it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t matter if you just need to be able to control the computer for movies or videos. RemoteMouseKeyboard does require a third party program to be installed on the device you want to control, but it was pretty straightforward other than needing to grant some permissions. Overall, fantastic app and I think the full version would definitely be worth it.

by LoverGirlAbbigail

The full version of RemoteMouseKeyboard is amazing. The trial version, as others have said, has an ad wall (which is very fair for a free app with this much functionality).

Switched to RemoteMouseKeyboard from the premium version of Yao’s remote mouse app, and the customization options RemoteMouseKeyboard gives you alone are worth the $. The UI isn’t as clean, but that’s a common cost for high customization and additional functionality. I’m very happy with it. There’s nothing RemoteMouseKeyboard won’t do for me, even replacing my Stream Deck & with a faster response too. RemoteMouseKeyboard gives Siri shortcut support as well, giving it a huge edge for those of us with applications of voice command.

I really appreciate the dev for his constant work and updates. I had an issue, one patch, with my Siri Shortcuts. The dev responded the next day, and I didn’t hear back after sending him RemoteMouseKeyboard log, but the very next day it was patched. Every time I think of something that RemoteMouseKeyboard could be doing better, it gets patched. I couldn’t ask for more if I wrote RemoteMouseKeyboard myself. Thanks dev <3

I work from home most days of the week right now and like to stream my Roon library from the server through my MacbookPro in an adjacent room with the stereo system. RemoteMouseKeyboard does exactly what I require by allowing me to remotely control playback and even see what is happening on screen without having to get up and walk over to control the laptop on a smaller table. This is very helpful for when I need to pause the audio for an incoming Zoom or Teams call, or if I want to quickly replay a track. I can see more uses with home cinema setups not having the computer local to the user. Overall the price of 8 USD for a lifetime license is quite fair and superb compared to all the other subscriptions I use to enhance my work and personal life. I would absolutely recommend RemoteMouseKeyboard.

by Mzzlevy

This is my first review ever. Really likes this until it no longer let me use it. I thought the the concept of free meant minimal features and upgrade available for more features, as usually the case. I guess RemoteMouseKeyboard was only free for a limited time, which is disappointing since the basic features are simple to begin with (not in a bad way—I loved being able to remotely control the volume on my Mac. This doesn’t seem worth a $7 download to me. I appreciated the product and would have liked to keep using it. Missed the fine print, lol.

by OregonEMT21

Currently, I am using my iMac as a TV for my streaming & website services. This is a great alternative to a keyboard & trackpad which, for this purpose can be a little ”bulky”. I’d even suggest RemoteMouseKeyboard as a replacement for the keyboard and mouse/trackpad if you are a mouse user and not someone who uses the keyboard for as much as they can. I personally hate taking my hands off the keyboard and use the keyboard more than my trackpad.

My idea would be to combine the media page and the input page or on the media page also have a trackpad. I'm not a big fan of having to switch back & forth between the two pages, but I'm sure I'll survive!!

by Holdin00panick

The people complaining about RemoteMouseKeyboard or the price for the premium version are stupid. RemoteMouseKeyboard does exactly what you need, even the free version. I have the free version and besides the occasional ad and some glitchyness here and there, this thing works. I can turn off my laptop or put it to sleep, I can search for text using the integrated keyboard, I can play/pause/fast forward/rewind, whatever... no complaints.

by MacMan027

I have had RemoteMouseKeyboard a little over a year and bought it after using the free version for a bit.
I love RemoteMouseKeyboard, i use it to control my imac from bed. It has a many great features and one of my favorite is being able to put a sleep timer on the computer so i can watch one episode on netflix or whatever and i can just fall asleep and RemoteMouseKeyboard will put the computer to sleep! Its updated regularly to improve it and take care of any bug fixes.

by CJ MMans

I never write reviews for any apps, but this is one that I get quite a bit of use out of.

Yes, there is an ad that pops up every now and again, but being able to control your computer remotely from your phone creates a new level of accessibility. Whether you’re doing it for work, or just because you don’t want to get off the couch, it serves many different purposes.

I didn’t know this existed a few months ago. Now I do, and I’m glad I downloaded it.

by Haunting Malady

I use RemoteMouseKeyboard every day, and having integrated it into my workflow I can’t imagine being without it.
For video control on a computer in a dark bedroom, RemoteMouseKeyboard rules!! A full feature touchpad and keyboard that responds reliably and naturally. Controls for audio and video that feel at one with my computer.
RemoteMouseKeyboard is capable of so much more! I use it for controlling my music workstation when recording my own performances from across the room.
So much RemoteMouseKeyboard can do for such a low cost!
So glad I found it!

by SmilesWept

Oddly enough there have been countless time that my wireless keyboard or mouse will fall off the desk and under something. I know there are a million ways to correct that problem but the fact is it's been years and I haven't,anyhow now when I don't feel like digging behind the desk or under the couch or trash can, since I always have my iPad or iPhone within reach I will launch RemoteMouseKeyboard and go on with my business without missing a beat.
There are many great features so give it a try, get it set up. See if it suits you.

by Docmaximus

App was working great until the developer decided to make the dark background a premium feature and that annoying “unlock all features” Ad where you have to scroll down every time to get rid off it.

Last update fixed those issues but I’ll never update again. It would be great if the developer lists the updates he made instead of just writing “minor fixes”.

5 stars because RemoteMouseKeyboard is better than its competitors and the developer listens to users + there is no annoying 3rd party ads.

I record in a home studio for various types of commission work but I almost always record everything myself. This is an amazing tool that will allow you to adjust anything in your DAW when recording. I mix right in front of my computer and record, on the opposite side of the room, with a mic and headphones. It's a really big pain, while tracking, to play/sing hear and check the reverb or compressor - get up - adjust - check again - adjust - check one last time... This is no bueno.

Now that I have this seamless easy to use app I tilt my computer monitor so I can see it from across the room and I use my iPhone to switch between RemoteMouseKeyboard and the Logic Remote app. It allows me to make adjustments without ever getting up from in front of my carefully positioned microphone. It allows for a more seamless workflow and it allows me to get more done faster.

I didn't even take the time to understand how it works I just opened it, tapped on my computer and kept working.

This developer knows what he's doing. Great job man. If you've read this far, just get it. You would probably be wasting you time if you didn't get it at this point. Trust me it's not worth tripping over that very expensive mic that your home studio cannot afford to replace.

RemoteMouseKeyboard + Logic Remote app = the best productivity tool for the solo home studio musician.

by Jerry Levine In Bay Harbor

As a professional filmmaker I’m constantly rendering and processing 4K video. Remote has given me the freedom to leave the studio and keep an eye on my work - even remotely start up my Avid, begin uploads, save files, or shut down my Mac at the end of a long night from the comfort of my own bedroom. Evgeny has created an app that is truly remarkable, wildly useful, easy to use and reliable. One that always makes me marvel at how far high tech has become.
