Touchpad App Reviews

There are too many wireless trackpad/keyboard apps. This is the best. It works exactly the way it should without installing any software on your Mac. (You can even adjust the cursor sensitivity and change the scrolling direction from within the app!) To be perfect, I would ask for the following minor improvements: 1. Add support for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus screen resolutions so the app better makes use of these screens. 2. Dismiss the “Authenticating” popup faster (after locking with the app open, then unlocking, you can actually control the cursor and keyboard before the popup is gone. I’d rather this dialogue be turned into a dropdown info bar, like the “Connected to Computer” bar. 3. If possible, maintain a persistent connection using a background service so “Authentication” is not necessary after locking/unlocking or switching apps. Excellent App, worth every penny!

Super easy to connect and great response. No lag so far. Using my iPad, this is easier with better control than the wireless mouse and keyboard. I haven't tried all of the key extra control keys in the app, but the touchpad is great, catching and dragging items is easier than with my mouse. People, take your issues to support! Thanks for a great, free, app.

Please bring back the fullscreen trackpad. I'm sorry to have updated this app and lost that feature. This app is much better with a fullscreen option.

This app is basically useless on an iPad. The trackpad area is TINY!!!

This app is a great idea. However, I can’t make it work under El Cap. Did email the developer - not much help there. Used to work with Yosemite. Now I can connect, and it confirms the connection, but can’t control anything. Have tried all the tricks. Seems to be a firewall issue of some sort.

The media player section has support for windows media player but Plex Has been dropped? Why?

Why dont you add the new 3d touch for iPhone6s? It should be.

I'm happy to see this app finally get an update. I use it quite a bit. It's the best option I have found that doesn't require a third party app on the computer side. Unfortunately we are losing key functionality with this update. As another reviewer posted, we definitely need the full screen trackpad functionality back. The keyboard needs to minimize down to just the special keys as it did before. A second tap on the top bar keyboard tab would be the most obvious way to achieve this. Also the themes aren't working properly. Theme changes won't stick and the light theme isn't consistent and is buggy.

Refuses passwords

This app does exactly what I need it to do. AND.... the customer service is great. I had a "user error" happen with the iPhone app, I emailed the company and Steve helped me get back on track. He was great. So much so I paid for the IPad version. This app is great.

This wasn't a fix for third party keyboards. The regular keyboard has lost the ability to include the predictive text bar and SwiftKey no longer works. It fit like a glove before the update. Disparaging.

Worked fine before. iOS7 and Mavericks.

This app served us well for awhile but after the update it doesn't even connect to our Mac mini. Deleted immediately.

A little confusing for me to get installed right, but works well.

This app works perfect for remotely controlling my computer hooked to to the TV. I really like that it uses VNC software as the back end instead of having to install another proprietary server app. Great work.

I love the app. My only qualm is that I think it’s a little bit of a missed opportunity not having a few buttons for things like Mute, or Sleep, for example. It looks like this aims to work as a remote, so these things would go a long way. Currently using Alfred to mute and sleep the Mac; it’d be nice not to need both apps to do such a small task.

I hate this update!

Full screen trackpad, portrait mode: please put them back.

Runs nativity on macOS. It finds the computer on the local network, asks for credentials, and lets your control it. It’s super useful at home but it is gold for IT support.

This is one of the worst updated. The colors are horrible, the touchpad is now only half screen, there are a bunch of useless buttons, AND I can no longer connect to my computer. It just sits there thinking. I can't even add a new computer. It makes this app worthless.

This update fixes everything that fell short on the ios7 upgrade.

The new update is great and brought back the features I had been missing. Thanks for listening! I use this app every day and don't know what I would do without it.

The previous functionality has been restored, and this app can be used full-screen again. It's back to being the best virtual trackpad/controller available.

The app will not find any computers. Manually entering the info and saving does not work either. The layout is very bad. No more full screen touchpad. You now have a small area to use but that doesn't really matter much because it doesn't work at all! Until now, I would have said this is the greatest app ever.

I’m using this on my iPad mini when my desk doesn’t work. This app starts up and connects quickly and does not require any software to be installed on the computer. Its gestures are a bit different from a normal mac trackpad, and it’s really touchy. Also, because it emulates a trackpad using the remote desktop features of the Mac, you can’t use keyboard+mouse combinations like Ctrl-Click, except using keys provided by the touchpad. You also can’t play DRM-protected video on your Mac while this is connected. I think this is a well-written app, an iOS7 update and some tweaks to make it feel less finicky when right-clicking, scrolling, and selecting text, etc would make it a five-star app.

This was a great app when I first purchased it months ago. Now they've updated it, destroyed many key features (trackpad is minimal / useless now), made the media buttons inoperable for many common media players and etc. This dev team has lost their mind, don't test their software and have broken a functional and high quality app for unknown reasons. Find another solution, I deeply regret that I purchased this given the most recent update. Please do not waste your money on this.

I feel like a jerk for saying this because the app itself is pretty solid except for (1) being very expensive and (2) setup could be tricky (and requires Mac and iOS to be on the same WiFi network). But the new icon is really hideous, enough for me to uninstall it.

App won't recognize computers on my network, despite them being saved to the app previously. Re-adding them doesn't work, since it won't save them either. App is not usable as an update. Hopefully first time purchasers fare better. I'm glad I didn't update all my devices. This was a great app. I hope the developer can fix the bugs shortly.

One of the best features of this app was the fullscreen track pad. We use this quite often when we are using our Mac mini for which we have no keyboard or mouse. The lack of a decent size track pad is going to make this app virtually useless for us!! Please make an option for a fullscreen track pad!!!

Love the app guys, but really miss the full screen track pad. Please bring back.

Colors are awful, touchpad area is cut in half, PLEX control is removed, new icon is confusing. Avoid!

Stopped working. Can't find solution at Edovia support. Perhaps not compatible with newest iOS? I dunno. Just frustrated. Gonna have to find something else.

I would like to be able to read the minds of those who take a good looking and functioning item and make it almost unbearable. This used to be a well balanced minimalist app with descent icon to live on my phone's screen. Now it's bad looking with missing functions such as of no possibility of hiding the keyboard and no landscape mode. Terrible update!

Worked great until the update, now the app for my ipad won't find a computer , and the layout is clunky and won't flip.

Since the app uses screen sharing to connect, it forces my 2013 MacBook Pro to use its discrete graphics card. This isn’t worth the hit to battery life. It’d be better to simply use a built in background app on the Mac.

Where are all the latest reviews? I've been using this app for over a couple of years now. I steam from a laptop on to my HD TV screen. Yes, I use Roku of course too. But something's, like online classes etc I need my laptop for. This app makes it simple, simple, simple to control my closed laptop. So I can control the tv screen. Love. I'm really loving the new look today too!

The updated app now finds my computer. But it still lacks the full screen trackpad of the previous version. Still annoyingly opens in night mode regardless of how one toggles the settings.

Another vote for a full screen touch pad. That's why all of us started using this in the first place. Edit: put my rating back to 5 stars because they listened to our feedback and included the full screen touchpad.

Hard to read with new color scheme. Not a fan.

It connects pretty easily if you follow the directions and it works, but it’s not a suitable replacement for an actual Magic Trackpad. You can’t do three-finger touch tap controls (like tapping to define a word or dragging to highlight text). Plus, the general feel of the glass screen just doesn’t quite compare to the trackpad on the Macbook

Whoa...! If you're not ready for a complete visual change, don't update. This will take quite some getting used to. No more screen rotation? Trackpad only mode? Maybe I'm missing something, but my first thought is, why?

Does not work out of the box, connected with developers, they gave me recommendation that didn't help and then disappeared. I expected the app to have Mac OS X companion app that provides connection, but instead they rely on system built-in screen sharing ca-abilities, that do not work in one click.

Even after you are turning off my gesture settings on my iPad and Mac, I cannot get the gestures to work on my Mac. Apple Pencil support is a joke. Tap tap tap... for a single click action.

Tools like this make it easier and easier to use an iPad for all the presentation, productivity and mockup needs a pro needs to bridge the workflow for iOS to Mac and back again.

Landscape mode! Please add landscape with keyboard and mouse functionality!!

Nice app but a real pain in the a** because it keeps asking for login info for my Mac Mini each time I open the app.

The icon is ugly

Pls return theme options back as they were offered once. It only makes paying customers more apprehensive about 'updating' or continuing further business.

I find this utility app very useful for controlling Keynote and PowerPoint presentations. Great work guys!
