Rowmote for Negative User Reviews
✓ Works, but...App works fine, the screenshot is deceiving though. The remote doesn't look like that, its much uglier and triangular..Version: 0
✓ In-compatible with iAlert UApp is good. However, I bought this because I thought this app will work on iAlert U.Version: 0
✓ Horrible AppI could not get app to work . I purchased the two upgraded versions and it still did not work !.Version: 4.3
✓ ÉvaluationJe n'arrive pas à rien faire avec cette application ..Version: 3.9.9
✓ A waste of time... Sorry.I can't comment on the old version of this app but the current one is unusable with mountain lion and iTunes 10.7. There are a lot of great ideas here but hardly anything works. The menu and gesture area is totally unstable randomly launching other applications or playing/stopping iTunes content with no control and that is when you can get it to respond to anything. The gestures also seems to conflict with the ipad and ML gestures which causes the random results. Controlling iTunes is impossible, which is the reason I purchased it. Sorry.. But hopefully once all the bugs are ironed out it will be more usable..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Very limited Well, it's good app for media devices but there should be few more functions such as shut down, keyboard and especially TOUCH PAD. It's useless without TouchPad! And instead of going all the way to toggle full screen, a tap button should always be present on the homescreen of this app. If get all, definately worth buying. Till then, NR is the best app to control my Mac. Not recommended untill these feature are added....Version: 0
✓ Do not recommendApp in desperate need of updating, DO NOT PAY FOR THIS..Version: 4.3
✓ Doesn’t work at allIn spite of the fact that I installed the rownote helper and both my phone and Mac were on the same Wi-Fi network, the app never could see the Mac so I had to give up..Version: 4.3
✓ Is not working on the Apple TVDo nat spend money in this useless app..Version: 4.3
✓ Not for Apple TVThis does not work for Apple TV. Misleading app..Version: 4.3
✓ Not even one starThis app just crashes on startup so it doesn't work at all! Don't waste your money for this crap.Version: 4.3
✓ NightmareThe worst most useless peace of $#%t I have ever seen.Version: 4.3
✓ They require to jail breaking my Apple TV to workI do not like it.Version: 4.3
✓ Not recommendedMost places I do presentations at are educational or commercial locations, and their wifi has firewalls that can't be turned off, so this app won't work there..Version: 4.3
✓ Difficult to set upVery confusing initially to set up. Almost gave up. Now that it works it works very very well, and I use it all the time!!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Useless"Helper" app you have to install on your Mac is unavailable. Try that first if you can find it. Save your money..Version: 4.3
✓ Requires both devices to be on wifiI got this app because I needed to control my computer (in a wifi area) from my phone (in an area that doesn't get wifi) so I could watch Netflix in bed. What the description doesn't tell you is that you need a wifi connection on both devices for this to work. Basically I just wasted money because that defeats the purpose, if I had wifi where my phone is, I would just keep my computer by my bed. I was hoping for something that communicated with Bluetooth or IR but that is not the case. Very disappointed in this and if it were more than $1 I would be writing an email and asking for my money back..Version: 4.3
✓ IPhone XR interface not workingJust to note that the interface on the iPhone now only works to volume and is elongated. I presume there will be an update to make it work again. To in advance team.Version: 4.3
✓ Lame.Didn't work for me. How irritating..Version: 4.3
✓ Need Helper Application on Computer to be controlledI'm sorry, but the fact that you need to install additional software on the computer to be controlled should be upfront. The headlines makes it sound like it simply makes your iPhone or iPod Touch into an Apple Remote. Pretty slick marketing. OK so I'm an idiot for not clicking on "more info" and scrolling to the bottom of the page like I never did with any software I ever bought. I'm not buying insurance or a car here, so I wasn't expecting to be taken. I found out about this program from a review on MacWorld which made no mention of the need for a helper application either which is a little unusual. My system is complicated and I have a lot of important files and programs on it, so I don't like to put software on that I don't know or can't find out online how reliable it is. And judging from the amount of updates to the iPhone side of the app, it wasn't tested too well. So I don't use it, yet every time I turn on my iPhone it seems it wants to updated the stupid program. I'm loath to delete it as I did pay for it, but that's what's gonna happen..Version: 0
✓ Not Only a of Money...But, a waste of valuable time. When you install the recommended setup software from their site, it adds unwanted software to your browser and computer!.Version: 3.8.3
✓ HorribleI bought it for $1, co.Version: 4.3
✓ GPSGood.Version: 3.5.7
✓ So frustratingI can’t seem to get these two connected. I tried suggestions listed, I either want my money back or for someone to just show me how to make this work already….Version: 4.3
✓ Terrible AppDon't buy it. It's not even worth the $0.99. Stupid app won't even connect to my Apple TV which is THE ONLY reason I bought it. You shouldn't advertise you can get it to work with a device if it doesn't work. Bunch of crooks..Version: 4.3
✓ Completely MisleadingCompletely misleading, defintiely does not control your Apple TV unless you have a Mac computer...should be Mac Remote and skip any reference to Apple TV!!!.Version: 3.6.5
✓ Used to work great. Not updated in years and glitchy on new os. 5* review if/when they sort itSort it out yo.Version: 4.3
✓ Good but pointlessThis Is a very good app in what it can do and does exactly what it says on the tin, however, I find it a bit pointless. I did not see the need to have a remote control for my iMac as you usually sit at a computer when you use one. iTunes 11 now allows you to 'up next' your song choices if your listening to music whilst doing something else. Apple TV is best controlled by the 'Remote' app as its simple but powerful. I do like Rowmote for what it can do but very rarely used it..Version: 3.8
✓ Read the fine print!After downloading to use my iPhone as a remote for Apple TV I find it doesn't work with latest Apple TV and involves hacking into your Apple TV not recommended!.Version: 3.6.6
✓ Interface brokenConnects easily, but iPhone interface completely misaligned onscreen and broken. Half the buttons dont work and menu is inaccessible. Clearly hasn't been updated for newer phones. Useless..Version: 4.3
✓ Doesn't workNo even with wifi in both devices worked for me. IP address is not recognized automatically. I tried several times introducing IP address manually, not even like that works..Version: 4.3
✓ Doesn’t workI got it to connect but it keeps disconnecting every time I go to use it and it takes forever to reconnect if it does at all- even then, only the volume controls work, none of the other buttons! Very disappointed, waste of time and money..Version: 4.3
✓ Not worth the purchaseCan’t access anything without purchasing an additional helper which it doesn’t state until after you’ve made the purchase. Then you need to purchase the upgrade remote. Cheaper to buy new remote..Version: 4.3
✓ Sa fonctionne pas...Je ne peux meme pas essayer la remote car sa recherche un Mac mais moi jen ai besoin pour le apple tv avec mon ipad... jai pas de mac... donc cest de la belle merde... je me suis fait avoir !.Version: 3.9.5
✓ Didnt workDoesnt work.Version: 4.3
✓ Lovin' it but buy pro version insteadGreat little app for controlling a mac mini without IR never mind a remote! Found out the hard way better to buy pro version straight off: if you upgrade inside the app and then download the app on another device later, you lose the pro features you paid for. Bit of a scam that. Doesn't work with Equinux mediacentral though either..Version: 0
✓ This is junk!Bought this for my new iPad to control my apple tv without line of sight. Turns out it doesn't work at all with apple tv unless you hack the device using a procedure not supported by apple. You also have to rehack it every time you update the apple tv software. Oh yes and then there's the $40 a year subscription to the patch software needed to keep the thing working! The little white remote is looking much better now....Version: 0
✓ MisleadingI also wish I read the reviews. Needed it for apple tv. It does not work with apple tv! Very misleading..Version: 3.6.5
✓ Wasted TimeTotally erratic on my MacBook Pro. Volume control moved presentation to next slide. I removed app..Version: 4.3
✓ Buyer bewareThis application requires you to install a program on your computer. The program is a package, and we are not able to view the contents. Apparently it makes system changes, which have problems to be reversed. Check the support forum. I contacted the developer, and he was totally unhelpful. I assume the "pro" version is the same. Buyer beware..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Belle merde...Rien a faire... Perte de temps assurée..Version: 3.9.9
✓ Not even one starComplete failure.Version: 4.3
✓ GarbageDoesn't work..Version: 4.3
✓ App does not workThe app will not authenticate or connect. It simply does not work. Highly disappointed..Version: 4.3
✓ Minimal functionalityThe old row more would act as a mouse and keyboard. This app will only control functions of already installed programmes. Basically it’s play and pause for videos and that’s it..Version: 4.3
✓ Does not work with all popular apps.Could not get it to work properly with Adobe acrobat creative cloud. Left and right buttons never advanced the slides..Version: 4.3
✓ FailPicture shows the app with the option to control apple TV but you cannot.Version: 4.3
✓ 🙁Do not work!! Dont waist your money....!!!!!.Version: 4.3
✓ Apple TVBought this app to replace a remote for my 2nd generation Apple TV. It's completely useless; won't connect at all..Version: 4.3
✓ Doesn’t work at allI have purchased this app but doesn’t work at all.Version: 4.3
✓ Not for Apple TVPictures imply that it can be used with computer or Apple TV. This is not the case at least for the .99 version..Version: 4.3
✓ RubbishDoes not work, I have four macs didn't find any of them, waste of money!.Version: 4.3
✓ Great when it worksConstant connectivity problems, when it works it's fine but it's almost always dropping the connection. Very frustrating.Version: 4.1
✓ Was brilliant now HUGE RIP OFF!!!!!Paid for pro version & had mouse control from my iPhone. Then they brought out an additional pro version & now in order to get mouse on my iPhone again I need to pay for upgrade!!!! NNnnnoooo!!!! WORST APP SELLER & HUGE RIP OFF!!!! 😁😁😁.Version: 4.3
✓ Swiss Army Remote ControlThis application is terrific, but hasn't reached it's full potential yet. Visual and audible feedback were conspicuously absent from the version I purchased initially. When I `pushed a button' there was no corresponding movement on the Rowmote interface. Audio feedback has been added to the latest update, so when you push a button now, you hear an audible `click'. This was not necessary on the original Apple remote, because when you pressed a physical button it moved. The interface is gorgeous, but is oversimplified for a device capable of doing so much. If visual feedback and possibly a backlit `LCD' display were included in a future release, it would make a terrific application an excellent one..Version: 0
✓ No apple tv3Bought this to control Apple TV. Only the fine print found after purchasing indicates no good for ATV3..Version: 3.6.5
✓ Keeps crashingJust purchased and can’t get it to open on my iPad.Version: 5.0
✓ It doesn't work with apple tvIt doesn't work with apple tv, don't buy if you need it for this reason..Version: 4.3
✓ DisappointingI paid for the app. I have tried to use it several times during a presentation and it does not seem to work if I am projecting through HDMI. When I remove the HDMI cable it works. Not much use when most projection is done through HDMI..Version: 4.3
✓ Great when it worksIn theory this app is great for someone who watches tv from their computer from across the room. For that reason I love it - a huge lifesaver. That being said, the rowmote sporadically fails to work with no way to resolve it but to remove it and reinstall. It's so inconvenient. A huge fail..Version: 3.9.9
✓ Doesn't workIt's crap! Don't waste your money! It doesn't connect to any devices!!!.Version: 3.8.7
✓ JunkWish I had read the reviews before wasting my dollar! It does not work with Apple TV..Version: 3.6.5
✓ No GoodDoesn't work with Apple TV and you have to download accessory to your Mac 👎.Version: 3.8.7
✓ Where's the update?I was really happy with this app until i tried to use it today and it told me that because i have downloaded the update for Rowmote helper on my iMac, the version on my iPhone was not up to date. I can find no other way to update this and am very disappointed that, without warning, this has happened. If there was a warning on the helper download update saying that you will not be able to use if you download the update, then i wouldn't have downloaded it. Please sort it out..Version: 0
