PC Remote Reviews

I got it to connect and I can use the trackpad. And that's about it. No obvious way to create or edit layouts. When I tap "Advanced" PCRemote crashes. So I thought paying for VIP would give me options to create new layouts. Nope. Looks exactly the same with no new option or apparent benefits. Still crashes when I tap on "Advanced". No help on the website. Clicking on the Help button in PC Remote brings you to a 404 error page.

I tried PCRemote and immediately found major issues.
- On the PC, if I specify to set a password for security, PCRemote on the iPad will not connect, didn't prompt for a password.
- On the PC, if I specify Only visible to devices in allow list, my iPad isn't listed and I cannot add a device.
- The keyboard integration is a joke. I want to type on my iPad keyboard and it's immediately typed on my PC, I shouldn't have to hit Enter to send the keys to my PC.
- I'm on iPad in landscape mode, the moment I connect to my PC, PCRemote switches to portrait mode. Not good.

Hey so most of the time it connects and some times it doesn’t I made sure they were both connected to the wifi but on my phone it would search and search and never find my computer which is so annoying, it’s a really useful app my laptop key board doesn’t work so I’m using my phone

Overall, PCRemote and associated program work. Assuming the program doesn’t eventually infect my computer with some kind of virus, there’s only two main problems I have with PCRemote .

1.) The UI prompts are in Chinese, preventing the use of the password entry for protected computer connection.

2.) Scrolling control is abhorrent. It is not smooth in the slightest.

My iPad won’t connect to my pc I don’t know why put at some point it used to work fine before know after I updated PCRemote something happened idk why put at

I had to stop playing games on pc because of my disability (can't use a keyboard or controller). PCRemote is allowing me to slowly reenter the realm of pc gaming, and for that I deeply appreciate the developers! (Thank you!)

That being said, there are some bugs.

For instance, if I am using a layout that has a trackpad and a joystick, they can't both be used at the same time. Which is both a shame and odd, seeing as you can control two joysticks simultaneously. If this aspect was fixed, I would rate 5 stars and jump for joy. :)

When i go into the remote desktop, the screen only fills up only a portion of my screen. The rest is just black. Please fix this.

PCRemote is great for remotely connecting to your PC, and the control customization is amazing. However, the iOS version of PCRemote is crucially missing the feature to connect via bluetooth, meaning PCRemote isn’t as useful if you have unstable wifi.

First, this has been very good. I have been waiting to save up for a racing wheel and pedals so I can get into iRacing. Been able to try out the game using PCRemote on my pc and iPhone. Finished as high as third and qualified as high as second 2nd in rookie series street cars at Charlotte.

Features I would like to see:

Sensitivity for Pedals - some additional control over pedal input. Right now it's all or nothing. Not ideal for for tracks where input controls are of more importance.

Simulation of Force Feed Back. I'm sure that is more problematic and may not but worth it but still wanted to throw it in.

I used the free version for about 10/15 minutes.
Had to have the ad free version. Great App.

One thing though, it will not send password to unlock computer after being locked. If they fix that it will be a 5 Star app no doubt.

PCRemote connects well to my PC and is recognized as a controller. I wish the driving interface had an option to use throttle and break as one continuous control (sliding up and down). That way, gas or break wouldn’t be an on/off button, and it would also fix the problem of not putting your thumb back correctly on the button when alternating between accelerator and break.

I was nothing short of impressed with this remote. I can control my entire computer wirelessly through Bluetooth WITHOUT WI-FI for freakin FREE!!! I’m so tempted to buy the VIP version JUST to see what more this thing could possibly do. Whomever coded this is a genius!!!

I am shocked at how easy this was to setup and how good it works. I paid for a phone samsung remote and it is terrible and this is amazingly smooth. I am shocked its free to the point I feel like there is a catch that makes me nervous of the prgram that I needed to download on my pc. I am hoping apple made sure this was a safe provider but wow I am amazed. Was about to pay $30 for a pc remote so I could watch tv from my bed. I only have my computer in my room with no tv and now with this remote it is even better than a tv!! Amazing!!! A+++++++

This program needs Remote Desktop assistant installed from Microsoft and it needs Windows 11 Pro to work, not the home version. It finally shows up under local networks.

I like PCRemote but you when your playing a game like minecraft you can't hold keys like the w key so van you make it so that you can hold keys and also add a minecraft layout for Java and bedrock. Thank you.

I used PCRemote to remotely control my tablet that I have connected to my tv. It is better than most phone remote apps. I would recommend that they make it where the letters light up when you press them on the keyboard, so you can see what letter you are pressing better. Other than that PCRemote is great.

I love PCRemote and I use it all the time. The only thing that would make it much nicer is with the racing layout on the right side add a slider (or some variable speed item) to be more precise with the gas!

Its consistent. The adds alittle annoying but manageable. Allowing to turn off the screen or anything when needed is really helpful during sleep

i don’t write many app reviews but this one deserves to be recognized because it has amazing functionality even for casual pc gaming i recommend this to everyone

PCRemote has a lot of potential. I think that the owner of PCRemote should center the experience just around the smart phone remote idea. As far as I know PCRemote does something no other app like it can do, it lets you connect without having to log on on your pc. This feature distinguishes it from any other app and I think if the developers made some software improvements it could be a very useful tool.
