Rowmote Pro for Mac for Positive User Reviews
✓ Useful AppThis is the most useful app on my iPad, I have my MacBook hooked up to my tv via Hdmi, and control the whole thing through my iPad. Only downside is its a bit leggy at times but might be because my router is in a different room. All in all great app!!.Version: 3.6.5
✓ When can the app the be updated to be compatible with new iPhonesI love this app, but when can it be updated to be compatible with new iPhones?.Version: 4.4
✓ ThanksThumbs up for providing continued updates for this iPhone and iPad app. Good stuff. I should add though, that if I switch off the screen while in use, then turn it on a fair while later, I may get a white screen death..Version: 0
✓ Excellent for remote control of my MacNow that the EyeTV bug is finally fixed, I'm extremely happy with this app. Makes remote control of my Mac very easy. A truly useful app..Version: 0
✓ Customer Service is awesome!!5 stars for awesome customer service!! I stumbled accross a minor bug that involved using two displays. I emailed the developer and it wasn't long before he replied and said that he was working on a fix. I recieved a follow up email just a few months later informing me that it was repaired. Great job!!.Version: 0
✓ The Best Out ThereRowmote Pro does exactly what it says on the tin: It's a remote control for your Mac / Apple TV. The UI design is click, with audible feedback making using Rowmote without looking a doddle. Rowmote Pro plugs into a lot of mainstream media applications (Quicktime, Plex, Frontrow, EyeTV to name a few...) and even lets you launch the applications right from your device! No longer will you have to worry about whether the application you want to use is running before sitting down to watch some TV / movies! The Pro version brings some great additions, such as the ability to use your device as a wireless track-pad and keyboard (two finger mouse scrolling gestures work, too!). All in all, this is a superbly slick and functional product. Highly recommended!.Version: 0
✓ Does everything I need it toExcellent app that I've been using for years now, a must include for anyone using a machine as a media centre, or needs to wake a file server in another room..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Needs update for iPhone X and XR stillCurrently 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..Version: 4.4
✓ It's really great!I use this app without fail everyday and love every bit of it. The pinch to zoom works perfectly, as does the fast app switching function. Thank you very much for this fantastic product!.Version: 4.2
✓ It's really a great app!It's really a great app. I wish it worked in horizontal mode with the fn functions but oh well..Version: 4.1
✓ Best Mac remote control appI’ve been using this app on multiple Macs for years. Works every time :).Version: 4.4
✓ Unbelievably goodI was surprised when downloading this app on how good it was. I literally cannot believe that I no longer have to get out of bed to use my Mac. Overall good app..Version: 0
✓ Class A productMagic stuff! Especially when I figure out how to work it properly! Need never leave the couch again..Version: 0
✓ Ohhhh yeah, copy paste!Been a long time user, and fan of Rowmote. What puts it over the edge for me though, copy paste?! That said, I'm not sure how secure it is to use this over a network - but it's a daily part of my life for sure..Version: 5.0
✓ Pretty good for freeIf you're using your computer to watch stuff on your tv this app is perfect..Version: 4.4
✓ Everything you want it to beThis is a great app. Do yourself a favor and get it now..Version: 4.3
✓ The Best Out There...Rowmote Pro does exactly what it says on the tin. It's a remote control for your Mac / Apple TV. The pro version has the very nice addition of allowing you to use your device as a remote track-pad and keyboard (with keyboard modifiers). This thing has changed the way I watch TV - no more fumbling for remote controls, everything is in one place! The UI is slick and intuitive and offers audible feedback when buttons are pressed making it very easy to use without having to look at the device. Rowmote Pro integrates with many mainstream media programs (Quicktime, Plex, Front Row, EyeTV to name a few...) and it even allows you to launch these applications right from your device at the touch of a button (no more worrying about whether you remembered to start the application before sitting down to watch some TV!) Highly recommended!.Version: 0
✓ Great app!I use this app all the time, and with the regular updates it just keeps getting better. Worth the money for pro version.Version: 0
✓ Great for home theatreWorks right off. Very accurate mouse..Version: 4.2
✓ Can't live without itCan't live without it.Version: 4.4
✓ It's like living in the future :-)This great little app has made my mac mini the centre of my entertainment world. Being able to control the mac on my tv from anywhere using my iPhone is fantastic and the iPad control is even better. Although I must say if errors occur support is highly lacking..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Don’t usually write reviews but…This app is such a gift I have made a point of coming to leave a review. I use it to type on my MacBook Pro, and occasionally use the trackpad function too. The trackpad is slightly jerky but still amazing if I’ve forgotten my mouse. The keyboard however is fantastic. I don’t need to buy a separate Bluetooth keyboard anymore! Haven’t had any connectivity issues between my iPad (using as Bluetooth keyboard) and the Mac thus far, the connector programme seems to work really well. I am so stoked with this app. I have to have my laptop elevated to eye level these days due to post-concussion syndrome so really needed to be able to operate it without having to lug a Bluetooth keyboard around with me. Can also operate using my iPhone. So pleased..Version: 4.4
✓ Still works after 5+ years of useLove this app, 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..Version: 4.4
✓ Great app with great supportI've been using the Pro version for several months and it's functioned perfectly. Today the 2.3 update came out and I discovered that attempting to edit the application list crashed Rowmote. I emailed the developer and I had a reply within minutes and a resolution within the hour - that's service. It is most encouraging to see developers who care about their products. Apple's legendary attention to detail has obviously had a halo effect on them..Version: 0
✓ A must have remote app for Mac!I have this app 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 the app I turn to. When I want to sleep my monitor at night, this is the app 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..Version: 4.4
✓ AwesomeAwesome love it !!.Version: 3.9.5
✓ Does exactly what I wantedUnlike many other remote apps I tried, this one has all the features you want ....Version: 0
✓ Amazing BUT..AirPlay to Apple TV button doesn't show up on macOS Sierra with dual monitors..Version: 4.3
✓ Very cool little appMan, I have been having fun with this app. EVERYTHING is so easy.... Now all you need is to make it compatible with aperture - that woul make it a 6 star app! Thanks developers, you've made life a whole lot easier. But do consider an aperture update - that would make my life complete..Version: 0
✓ Perfect!This app has been flawless. I've just used it to give a presentation via my MacBook pro onto a 50" screen. The interface is perfect. It connects every time without fail. One note: both the mac you're controlling and the iPhone need to be connected to the same wireless box, not just the same network. I have to wireless access points and it won't work if the aren't connected to the same access point. Not an issue, just an observation..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Works well to control iMac but...This app hasn't had any new features added in the 10ish years Ive been using it, that said I’ve been using it for about 10yrs and that says something. Some critic below - I’d like to see added a GamePad screen to play games on my iMac. Oddly don't know any apps that do this, seems a no brainer. I’ve love to play a car racing game on my iMac using my iPhone as the controller. The app doesn't advertise it does this - but please add it. Also using the keyboard I have to keep looking up to my iMac screen to check typos, Ideally the app itself would show what you’re typing. Additionally, the Applications tab shows a lot of my apps but doesn't seem to actually do anything. I can only use the mouse and keyboard as a... mouse and keyboard. The Applications tab adds zero. That said, the app via wifi works 99% of the time assuming your wifi is available (on rare occasion I need to relaunch the app on my iMac - meaning i have to get out of my seat for 30 seconds). And as my phone or ipad are always charged I don't need to worry about a mouse/keyboard with flat batteries. I tend to use my iphone as the mouse and my ipad as the keyboard - they work seamlessly at the same time via wifi. In summary, great app, that can and should be improved..Version: 4.4
✓ Used with iPad for controL of apple miniWorks very well.Version: 4.4
✓ Brilliant App!Such a great idea and works extremely well. Would be good to be able to connect directly to the Mac without requiring a network connection though..Version: 0
✓ Row remoteI love being mobile and being able to move to the next song.. All from my iPhone.. Brilliant..Version: 3.6.1
✓ Excellent AppI use a Mac mini as a home media machine and this app is the perfect companion for it. I used have to replace the batteries on my wireless keyboard and mouse at twice a month. Now a thing of the past as my iPad is usually adequately charged..Version: 3.9.9
✓ No WiFi Network RequiredThis app is brilliant. I hesitated to buy it because I thought it relied on an existing WiFi network. I hadn't realized that I can create my own network on my Mac without a router. This means it works perfect in any environment. I can now do keynote presentations in large lecture halls where my computer must be located a great distance from the podium and my Apple remote won't work. Thank you Rowmote!.Version: 0
✓ Good appReliable way for me to integrate my iPad and Macbook while presenting in front of an audience. On occasion I have ro go off script, amd the keyboard lets me do that. Worked perfectly the first time I tried this app, and every time since..Version: 4.1
✓ Works perfectFor all my needs! Recommended.Version: 3.4.1
✓ RowmoteBrilliant! Works as advertised extremely pleased..Version: 0
✓ Really worth itTried a couple of the other apps like this not very good connection with the mac this is really simple to use and responded quickly and useful. Only think I would like to see is if your on iTunes it tells you the song that is playing. Other than that it's brilliant would recommend to anyone with an iPhone and mac or iPad and mac.Version: 3.9.3
✓ Row mote rocksRowmote has solved the problem of the annoying lack of IR function on my MacBook. Admittedly I need an iPad but hey, a small price to pay for seamless control of my MacBook. And wireless too. Genius!.Version: 0
✓ Thanks for thisI’ve been using this app for ages, it’s probably the longest lived app on my iPhone (since I got my Mac in 2015). It’s so useful and comes in really handy.Version: 4.4
✓ Mac mini + eyetv + rowmote pro = joyThis is a great app, I tried a few but this just about does it all. Set up was a breeze and it just keeps working. Only thing I would add would be a hot key panel so I could easily zoom in zoom out etc ( my telly just seems a bit too far away sometimes ) or better still a fully customisable panel for me to set up all my favorite keyboard shortcuts. If your looking for a wifi remote this is definately worth a try..Version: 0
✓ GoodA little lag but its great way to get a keyboard on iTV.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Brilliant!Great for my mac mini media centre. The built in remote profiles for 3rd party apps (like Plex) are more stable then the dedicated, separate wifi remote apps. You only need to purchase this one app..Version: 3.4.2
✓ #1 most used app...This is one of the handiest apps I've ever had the great pleasure if using, makes home-theater use for the computer not just possible, but effortless. Works like a charm, even switching between multiple computers... I couldn't be more pleased! CONSTANTLY being updated, tweaked, and improved, it is not only the most frequently updated app I own, but also the most improved. As a long time user, across several generations of devices, and between several computers, I have a bit of perspective on this app, and even with the benefit of hindsight the app has stood the test of time, and continues to improve beyond what I can imagine; it has been and continues to be my most used app, and the one I continue to be most impressed with... Thanks Rowmote!.Version: 3.6.5
✓ My fave but no apple watch ?Its my favorite portable mouse / keyboard but please make a watch version !.Version: 4.4
✓ Very practical!!That's a must for each Mac and iOS user.Version: 3.9.8
✓ RowmoteYeah, pretty good. Could have more features like with iTunes; have an option to change songs by choosing which one on the iPhone. But other than that, very useful !!.Version: 0
✓ Works a treatBought this as I was watching movies on a flat screen via the hdmi socket on my mac book pro and got fed up getting up and down to pause, rewind etc. Wouldn't connect via my own wireless network for some reason. (Might not support bonjour? - hence just 4 stars) Linked my IPad to my mac via 'create a network' and it works a treat. The trackpad is very accurate and the left and right buttons underneath work well. Great!.Version: 3.9.2
✓ ILOVEITBut 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...).Version: 4.4
✓ GreatUse it all the time well worth the cost A+++.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Great but...Crashes XBMC 8/10 times..Version: 3.9.2
✓ Fast, reliable, great!Love this app! If it does not connect just kill the app and relaunch. My go to solution when the kids loose the Mac mini keyboard. Thanks!.Version: 4.4
✓ Best mac remote on apps storeI have tried most the remote apps and thus is by far the most stylish and easy to use..Version: 0
✓ Best ATV Remote!Great on iPhone and iPad mini! Perfectly functional and helpful friendly customer support. I have used Rowmote Pro for nearly 2 years..Version: 3.8.3
✓ Awesome!!!Love this app, works seamlessly, simple to use never have any problems with it. What a handy app as well! Why OS X control isn't built into iOS by default is bizarre. But this app bridges that gap nicely! Cheers you fullas for designing such a cracker app!.Version: 3.9.9
✓ Best remote appTried all the free ones and I just had to pay for this one. Best one out there. One thing that would be cool was if you could save your own keyboard shortcuts, but this is not a deal breaker at all!.Version: 0
✓ Indispensable iMac remoteIndispensable app for remote controlling the iMac!.Version: 4.4
✓ ZimmyThis is a fantastic application. I had no troubles whatsoever installing. It's easy to use, only takes a little getting used to and I imagine it will only improve with use. From the description I was a little concerned that it was a requirement to have apple tv, it's not, fortunately. A mute button is a good suggestion I have seen otherwise it's pretty comprehensive, I took the risk - and am very glad I did..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentWhat a great app, i use my macbook connected to my tv for watching movies, this app lets me control plex, itunes, quicktime, so I can watch tv series or movies without having to go to the macbook. The other great thing is the trackpad and keyboard feature which means i can turn my tv into a 50" screen for web browsing without needing a wireless keyboard or trackpad. All in all this is one of the best apps I have ever used..Version: 3.6.5
✓ ApertureFor me this is the best app on the store I use my iPad to control Aperture on my MacBook pro to edit all of my photos before sending them up to flickr. Keep up the good work. Would be nice if you could add your own applications from your Mac to the list view that would be the icing on the cake. I'm sure there,ll sort it at some point ... :-).Version: 0
✓ Great app!Not having to buy another mouse or remote makes this app the greatest thing. So convenient!.Version: 4.4
✓ Truely BrilliantHonestly if I knew this app work so well I could have saved so much cash on a wireless keyboard and mouse. I've bought a mac mini as part of my home entertainment system and this has just made things so much easier. Don't have to sit there with a mouse and keyboard on my lap anymore. Will definitely recommend to my friends. Happy days..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Does what it said once set up properly.Could be room for a scroll function for reading emails etc..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Love it!Love it!.Version: 4.4
✓ Quite simply it does what it saysGreat application, I now have my 50" plasma in the theatre room and computer in the study and everything controlled by my iPhone. iTunes, movies and web browsing all accesible all the time well worth it.Version: 0
✓ Works for meI download so many apps that I try & then realise that either I’m never going to be able to master or simply doesn’t do the job I need it to do. This one I could understand, set up easily & then get it to do exactly what was needed. I am using it now..Version: 4.4
✓ StevestevesteveGreat for Mac mini. I really like how it works directly from computer wake up unlike other apps. Some apps require manual keyboard usage to wake the computer into a mode where an app like this is enabled.Version: 3.5.7
✓ Perfect app and support!This app is awesome! I had a little trouble getting it to work at first, but Joel at rowmote support walked me through my difficulties step by step. Now that I've used the application it is amazing! I no longer have the need to have a keyboard and a mouse around. I only wish I had known about this program a month or so ago before I purchased a magic mouse! I have purchased many apps for the iPhone and now the iPad, this is the first time I have ever written a review of one. I felt compelled to because of the wonderful and timely technical support of this application. I have read many horror stories of other users having issues with apps and getting no response from the developer. This is not one of those apps! It does what it says it does and if you need assistance rest assured you will be helped when needed. Buy with confidence!.Version: 0
✓ If you want a remote for your computer - GET THIS NOW!!!!I've tried almost all of the alternatives to Rowmote - they all work fine, but Rowmote has been the best experience by far. It's incredible in it's simplicity. Though I consider myself very "techical", I found that the other remote apps actually had too many features - too many buttons everywhere. Rowmote is streamlined - you can use it almost without looking (which is impressive for an app on an iPhone). While the developer does constantly add little tweaks and updates, they never get in the way. This app just keeps getting better and better. Plus I feel good that my money is going to a med student (I think the developer is one?) I had an issue with the app and emailed him at his personal email which he provided, and he actually wrote me back and offered to troubleshoot the issue. Seriously, that's awesome. I have never, ever taken the time to write a review but I just have so many great things to say about this app. Just buy it. And don't skimp out - the extra dollar is way worth it for the Pro version. It's the cheapest and most functional remote you'll ever buy. The new dock that wa recently added is awesome too by the way - genius!! Buy this now!!!!!!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Saved me moneyI love it ! I was looking to buy an Arabic bluetooth keyboard since I don't like the cheap stick-on-letters. That would've cost me some good money. This app was great money saver! Now I'm using it to type straight into my iMac from my iPad or iPhone! I find this very cool and this is only one feature. I hate using the little remote control of the Apple TV. Something kept me off the device for a long time but i'll buy it knowing that I have access to the full keyboard on my iPhone and iPad. The fact that it doesn't work on PC doesn't other me. I want to use it with my iMac and it is doing a great job! Thank you for making it guys :))).Version: 3.6.8
✓ Handy app...Can’t get it to pair up with amazon Prime though.... would love that!.Version: 4.4
✓ The track pad does not workI have been using this app for years now, it wasn’t until recently that the app started acting up. Everything works amazing except the track pad does not work on my MacBook anymore. I deleted and downloaded the app again but it did nothing other than paying for the pro version again..Version: 4.4
✓ Great AppThis is a great app. For those of you who are wondering whether or not this is a practical app, consider you're making a presentation at work or at church and you're using your computer through the projector. You obviously can't control you computer from there. So, that's where this app comes in handy. It not only functions as a remote, bit also as a wireless mouse and keyboard. You can also use this at home to run iTunes from anywhere in the house if you've got a wireless network. It gives you great control over your computer from a distance. The only con to this app is that it drains your battery. However, you can avoid this problem by going to your settings and turning "Airplane Mode" on. This will turn off your Airport so the battery won't drain as fast. You'll have to turn "Airplane Mode" off every time you want to use it, but it's not that big of a hassle. Great app overall!.Version: 0
✓ Use it dailyI use this app to control a Mac mini and a MacBook pro. It is so easy to set up its ridiculous! Just install the rowmote server on your computer, start the remote app on your iPhone, and voila! Easy peezy!.Version: 3.6.7
✓ Sweet!I was running the cracked app for a while. I loved it! Now I'm paying for it because its so useful!.Version: 3.9
✓ Great app!This app is great. ;).Version: 3.9.6
✓ WowGreat app awesome recommended !!.Version: 0
✓ Works as advertisedTrouble free remote control. I've had no issues..Version: 4.4
✓ A long awaited update for the iPhoneFinally a much needed update has arrived, especially for the new iPhones. Even though there is still an issue with fn functions not properly displaying in landscape mode. Hopefully a fix will come sooner then later..Version: 5.0.1
✓ Works almost perfectlyApp is exactly what it needs to be. Maybe just a few more connections to applications on the Apple Tv, e.g. if the iPhone keyboard could be used at any point.Version: 0
✓ Great!Works exactly as it advertises. No problems installing. Painless and perfect..Version: 0
✓ Does what it says it does, well.Firstly, McNeilDeal IS missing something... once the helper app is installed and you've paired your devices once, that's it. From then on, Rowmote finds all the paired devices on your network at launch & you can instantly switch between these with one touch. Rowmote is a great alternative to a hardware remote for various media player apps. It improves on Apple's hardware remote for apps such as EyeTV & Front Row by incorporating basic commands into the application switcher menu (eg: full screen, quit app, sleep computer) and hence saves some effort drilling for these commands on screen. The keyboard/trackpad feature is a nice inclusion and is useful for occasionally working with apps outside their 'TV' GUI. The interface layout is clear and simple and does all it's designed to do without fuss. My only 'negative' comment would be that a touch interface isn't as intuitive as some familiarity with physical buttons (that you can operate by feel). This may limit Rowmote's appeal to some..Version: 0
✓ Really usefulI recently broke my leg and this app has been brilliant in allowing me to control my mac from the armchair. iTunes and movie apps are the main things I use it with but it works well with all the apps I've used it on. Only problem is I have to manually wake the mac up, but once I've done that I don't need to hobble across the room at all. Great app - thanks!.Version: 3.9.2
✓ So usefullPerfect to manage all my MacBook Pro from anywhere in my appartment like change the music playing on my Bluetooth speaker without living my bath...Version: 4.4
✓ Dope AppI’ve been using this app 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..Version: 4.4
✓ Very usefulI have an old MacBook running as a media centre in my home cinema. This app provides complete control of it from the sofa. Far more versatile than the apple remote, and more practical than vnc clients when you can see the screen already. Makes using stuff like safari through my hdtv pretty much bearable!! Worth the price IMHO..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Fantastique !Pro, n'hésitez pas ! Rien de plus simple, intuitif, presque tous les applications utiles sous les doigts. Il serait pratique de pouvoir choisir les applications que l'on possède sur notre Mac et pouvoir l'ajouter dans Rowmote Pro. N'oublier surtout pas d'installer la mise à jour (helper) sur votre Mac, car cela ne se fait pas tout seul, dommage, peut-être dans une mise à jour. Great work. Best regards..Version: 4.4
✓ Contact the developer before writing this App off. Well written App. Future looks very promising.Contact the developer before writing this App off. Developers have no way of responding to App Store reviews, no way to contact the person who left the review, and no way to issue a refund through the App Store. Developers would like to resolve issues rather than receive negative reviews. Most of them do this for the love of it and not for the money. Thats why most of them are free or nearly free. After emailing the developer he contacted me with in 15 min on a Sunday at 4:30 PM. The developer was very helpful and then explained that he has version 2.0 done and is waiting on Apple to approve it. Well written App. Very simple and yet still has all the features that a Mac user has learned to love. Waiting for update release to fix remaining bugs. Using an iphone, Macbook pro and an Airport Extreme and mouse doesn't work to its fullest ability yet. Thats the only thing that is preventing me from giving it a 5 star rating..Version: 0
✓ Very GoodVery easy to use and set up works well - controls all. Key board quirky - wont erase on screen while in this edit box for example and few other things..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Rowmote reviewWe have a system with a Mac Mini running music and video collections, and television. Remote control units provide some functionality, but Rowmote on an iPod Touch (and iPhone) allow control (sort of like a mouse) in a way that other products have not, and without having a keyboard and mouse rattling around in the family room. The iPod Touch is convenient, but perhaps a little small. Bring on the iPad with Rowmote! Cass, Australia..Version: 0
✓ AlmostThis app is almost completely amazing. Almost. I agree with pinksteady, there are a number of minor interface tweaks that need to be made. For me I largely just want to control my Mac from a distance, maybe play a video or something. The trackpad is fantastic for navigating around the computer as you usually would but I find it a bit irksome to switch between the two modes say if I want to up the volume or quit the program. Surely with all the space on the screen there can be room for some small volume buttons and/or a quit button that you could double tap. Maybe i'm missing some of the functionality but it's not terribly obvious. Case in point I only just figured out that the trackpad can be used in the remote mode once you click the small arrow in the top left of the pad area. The landscape version of the trackpad mode could definitely be improved and I hate how the keyboard automatically slides up to obscure the trackpad. Maybe the trackpad can become a little smaller and go up to the top right corner. But don't let all the negative comments put you off, this is still a fantastic app, especially in portrait mode. I can open and watch a movie or even respond to an email without even getting out of bed. Well worth the price. Thanks mr developer!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent in function and interfaceSimply works, has all the right options and is wrapped in a beautiful UI. Highly recommended!.Version: 0
✓ Works greatApp works great no issues, does what it says.Version: 4.3
✓ ExcelentI have used this app constantly since downloading it! Very accurate mouse movements and typing! But it's making me even more lazy as now I can sit back in the arm chair and do everything (mac wise) while barely lifting my arms :-p.Version: 0
✓ PerfectPerfect.Version: 3.8.6
✓ An easy, very useful convenience!I own hundreds of apps and there are a only a few that I use every day!! This app has been a sweet addition to my night time ritual! I take my iPhone, switch on this app and turn on Relax Melodie's raindrops, or iTunes or a movie, whatever I want and turn the volume up and then put the display to sleep and go to sleep! ALL FROM ACROSS THE ROOM ! A simple well-thought-out application that works with the iPhone flawlessly! You can start using this app right away because you don't need to read any instructions to use it! Not to be taken for granted.... I don't think that I will ever not own and use this app, every day! Sound silly, but I really do like it and think it's definitely worth purchasing and using daily, It's all about MAC (a compliment of the highest degree) Thank you to the developers of this app and thank you to Steve Jobs, for putting a spark into some of our lives! 🌟📲💻💡🔋🎶👍.Version: 3.8.3
✓ Perfect...At first it was somewhat confusing, after 2 min got it working, flawlessly, it's been 3+ years now... Still amazing!.Version: 4.3
✓ Great AppUsed to remotely operate Mac Mini and works well especially with vlc player. 5 stars..Version: 4.4
✓ Very convenientGreat for watching movies on the big screen. Skip ahead and back performs unpredictable things, but volume works perfectly. Trackpad is not as good as built in, but it works fine and prevents getting up. Having a keyboard while one slouches is most excellent. I would buy this again..Version: 3.9.3
✓ This app is a MUST haveThis application is a must have for anyone that is looking for an all around remote for their MacBook. I sometimes hook it up to my living room entertainment system via HDMI (moshi adapter) and this application does the the finest job of allowing me to completely control my MacBook. I can control it seamlessly with my iPad or my iPhone at any time, the interface is as intuitive as the apple products themselves, and the developer does a great job of making sure that everything works as said. I have used row mote for two years now and the one time that I had a problem, the developer made sure that it was fixed in a timely manner releasing an update shortly thereafter. I would highly recommend this product to any readers and I have already recommended it to all my friends..Version: 3.6.8
✓ Favourite appLove love love.Version: 3.9.9
✓ ThanksBeen meaning to write a review for ages. Even after all these years, this might be the most value I’ve ever gotten from an app. Thanks bro.Version: 4.4
✓ Does everything you want it & does it wellLove this remote, have tried others and you have to wait a few minutes to connect every time but not this one & it works with my Mac being on Ethernet and iPad on wifi. I know the others should but they didn't and now I'm glad because I have a much better remote for my media centre and great customer service. My questions were answered promptly before I'd even purchased it..Version: 4.3
✓ Great except a few bugs and no right clickRowmote is an excellent solution to a couch based media centre- no meet for mouse or keyboard- and let's face it, neither is suitable for a lounge room. Rowmote works really well most of the time, though sometimes with a lag. It has a bit of trouble coping with changing vertical vs horizontal layouts, and the different modes are generally better in the opposite layout. The worst bug I've seen is with eyetv, which freezes both eyetv and rowmote if I try to cancel a recording in progress. I hope this is fixed in the latest revision. The main bit of functionality that I'd like added is a right click button. It is possible to right click, but it's fiddly and often gets it wrong, making it very difficult to select from a contextual menu which dissapears each time the mouse moves.Version: 0
✓ NiceVery nice app!.Version: 3.8.6
✓ Great appSetup was quick and painless. Functionality is seamless. Lots of pre-installed options. Macro writing to suit own functions would be a nice add-in (if it's there I haven't found it). Recommended..Version: 0
✓ Looking Good....This is a good remote, with no bugs found so far. It is more intuitive than others I have used especially keyboard and mouse actions. But more importantly the mouse and keyboard functions work well. I have controlled Front Row, Keynote, Itunes and EyeTV (limited function as described here). Pleased so far. I use my IPOD touch to control the iMac and the Macmini media centre . The Rowmote helper installations also went well. Make sure you permit the request, during installation, to repair permissions..Version: 0
✓ GreatI 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..Version: 4.4
✓ Works well for meI've seen people suggest these sorts of apps are limited in requiring both devices to be at home on the same wifi network. Not so. I just create a wifi hotspot on the iPhone, connect with the MacBook Air and bingo it works wherever I am. Not as slick as the Apple iTV remote device, but still pretty good..Version: 3.4.3
✓ GoodNothing much to say other than it works..no issues here..Version: 4.3
✓ Very impressed.Exactly as advertised. Works great on my iMac..Version: 4.2
✓ Use it every dayCannot fault this app.Version: 3.8
✓ It's goodCompared to similar remotes I've used, this one seems to work in full although there have been a few stuttering issues. Nice auto updates for the host software but I feel the applications dock slightly unusable as the slightest tap launches an app which can lead to a nightmare of fore quits. Remove this feature and I'll be a happy user! Also, provide me with concise instructions for use as well as network setting and how to optimise connection..Version: 0
✓ Rowmote excellent appI use rowmote app on my Ipad mini, I control my Mac mini from the lounge table (itself connected to 40 inch Samsung tv) and even being 6 meters away I have no sync problem, no delay at all, it's just awesome !.Version: 3.7.2
✓ Rowmote rocksGreat app. Well worth the money. Works extremely well, allowing you to run full remote control of your machine through a track pad and keyboard interface. Also provides a standard remote control GUI that acts as an Apple Remote..Version: 0
✓ Blew my mind (...once I figured it out!)Great app. Took around 10-15 minutes to figure out that my privacy settings on my macbook pro was not allowing the app to connect to laptop but once I changed that it worked faultlessly. Definitely worth the money! With everything, there is room for improvement (hence no 5-star), it would be The Complete App if it could connect with my laptop over bluetooth as well!!.Version: 3.9.3
✓ DOes EXACTLY what it says on the tinA fantastic App created and supported by an incredibly helpful team! Followed them on Twitter and commented, out of ignorance, that they should consider putting a control to start mirroring the Mac onto Apple TV via the Rowmote App. Within minutes, the guys had responded saying that it already did that and talked me through every step so I could make use of the feature! Amazing support! Many people have rated and reviewed this app poorly because they say it doesn't work with Apple TV. Well if they'd looked at the website to see how it would work with Apple TV, they would've seen that the Apple TV needed to be Jailbroken and additional software needed to be installed. Rowmote make no secrets about it, and openly tells you on their support site that this is the case. Thus, the reviewers have created false expectations for the app and have disappointed themselves. Rowmote does exactly what it says it does and, in my case, more than I realised! Quickly becoming one of my main go-to apps now that Mountain Lion is installed! Good job guys! Keep it up!.Version: 3.6.8
✓ Great but still needs developmentFirst off this app is EXCELLENT when all features are working. I primarily bought it to control plex but now use the mouse keyboard feature to control my MacBook connected to my tv from the sofa. I've encountered problems with iTunes control in regards to changing songs but I can just use the remote app to solve that! All in all, definitely worth the purchase, but has the potential to be even better!.Version: 3.6.2
✓ Great for home theatreI use a Mac mini for home theatre and this app works better than any wireless or bluetooth keyboard I have tried. Occasionally the helper app doesn't auto start when my mac restarts but generally rock solid.Version: 3.9.5
✓ Swiss Army knife of remotes for iMacThis app has freed me up from having several similar apps to just one... • exact look of iMac remote • replication of iMac remote functions Including putting the iMac to 'sleep', and 'waking it up' again. No other similar app has this. Great energy saver. • trackpad and for the keyboard, just shake. There's more, check it out. Just it, my and ..Version: 0
✓ Great appWorks as expected. Great UI. Good job..Version: 0
✓ PerfectEasy to use.Version: 3.8.6
✓ I love this appThis is really a great app for controlling a Mac. It's fast, constantly getting updated, and the developer was quick to respond to my question. There are so many applications that have built-in settings, and the app launcher is a really helpful tool too. Only a few suggestions for improvement - sometimes it disconnects from Wifi and takes forever to reconnect, which is kind of annoying when I want to quickly pause a song or something. This very well could be just the iPhone, too, but any fixes would be great! Second, I was so excited to see controls for the Pandora One desktop app. However, some greater controls over the app would be awesome! Like, if we could somehow change stations and like a song, as well as see what's currently playing. Finally, support for Radioshift in the same way would be sweeeeet. Hope these get added soon, and keep up the good work!.Version: 0
✓ RowmoteI have just recently got wind of this apps. Ever since I loaded it I been a lover of this apps. It has became my #1 Since I have a Mac Mini as my media player and a Mac Air this apps has allowed me total freedom. For the Mini I have even dispensed with both the mouse and keyboard and rely solo on my iPhone as the ultimate remote. Well done guys and many thanks..Version: 0
✓ Very intuitiveThis is a really cool app. Does everything says it will. I little learning curve but we'll worth the money. No need for wireless key board or mouse. Highly recommended..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Simple to use and all features for one priceSimple affective, and links to mac with one simple OSX download. Connectivity is great and I haven’t lost connection yet. Friendly helpful support. Great replacement for Hippo remote and doesn’t over complicate matters. No lag, no complicated navigation, no complaints. Great app!.Version: 4.4
✓ Incredible!This app is outstanding- I HIGHLY recommend this to any Mac owner! Change the volume, scroll down pages, click, and do everything at the tip of your phone! Very convenient when your laptop is far away and you're to lazy to get up and use it ;).Version: 3.9.3
✓ Big Sur ProblemsWith 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..Version: 4.4
✓ Great AppWorks as advertised. Easy to setup and use. Awesome for entering text rather than clicking through with the normal remote..Version: 4.3
✓ So far so good!Off to a good start and the only thing I can think of so far is that it would be nice for the App to be able to ping the computer and wake it up. Right now I need to use a mouse or keyboard to do that. But I will keep looking for a solution. Otherwise it does everything as advertised. Really handy..Version: 4.3
✓ AMAZING with a few issuesOkay, this is amazing especially for someone as lazy as me! I sit on my bed and control my mac from here :). The only complaint is that it doesn't have a volume control unless you open iTunes. Also, not all the buttons work. Eg. I have EyeLiteTv and not all the buttons in this app work which is irritating like I can't change the channel unless I use the touch pad mouse! Please fix these! Otherwise, it is AMAZING!.Version: 3.4
✓ Awesome on the iPadPretty good on the iPhone too..Version: 4.4
✓ Best money I’ve spent on a appUsed this app for years. Wish they would update it to play nice with my new iPhone..Version: 4.4
✓ Works extremely well; worth every pennyI'm quite impressed; the gesture-based controls are fantastic.Version: 0
✓ Great for EyeTV media centreThank you. Now I got my mac with EyeTV connected to the Plasma screen. I can control EyeTV, front row, mouse, keyboard and even Safari from the couch. Great work!.Version: 0
✓ Impresses the friends!I have a Mac Mini connected to my 50' TV and Rowmote is the perfect companion! I'd buy an iPhone just for this app. Impresses every friend I show. Absolute must have for a set up like mine. Even pauses iTunes on the Mac when I get a call on my iPhone! So cool!.Version: 3.5.4
✓ Must have appI use with eyetv on tiger to my tv, works well, better zooming would be nice and have to use the iPhones orientation lock, but that may be due to old os. Needs better controls to scroll threw channels on iPhone, but I mainly leave news24 on in the background so no huge deal. Put your mac to sleep, when you open this app your mac will wake up and continue where you left it. Took over an hour to get set up to my liking, (changing settings, Downloading RowmoteHelper, Ect) but it was well worth the effort and app cost of £2.99 Overall a brilliant app which Replaced my keyboard and mouse so this is still a 5 star app..Version: 3.6.4
✓ Great be careful with screen keyboard and mouse use at same timeThis is a great app works very well I had a couple of issue getting the hold shift and hold command buttons to work with in conjunction with the mouse multi select in iPhoto and iTunes . This turned out to be an issue with the keyboard not recognising an alternate mouse ie not the integrated trackpad in this app. Basically you have to use the keyboard and trackpad in the application to make it work you cannot use the keyboard and an external mouse. At least this is my experience. Support were also great very prompt replied within 24 hours.Version: 3.7
✓ So Far So GoodWorks as it say....everything functions so easy....better even then the Magic Trackpad and the Apple Keyboard ..Version: 3.9.3
✓ ExcellentHaving tried virtually every remote app since the initial iPad 1, I’ll never understand the low adoption rate of this app. 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..Version: 4.4
✓ SO QUICKWireless remote - don't even need to point it - wifi! yes - this app works great - very speedy - have it linked to multiple computers, & apps no issues!!.Version: 0
✓ Does what it saysCant fault it. I have only used it a few times but it's been great. Excellent if you like watching movies on your laptop from a distance as it saves you having to get up an change things. It's a bit fiddly to browse the web but works fine, just things take a bit longer. Now I can be properly lazy .Version: 3.3.5
✓ Media Centre nirvana!Fully awesome! It's when you find an app like this that you thank God for the iPhone. As functional as any mini wifi keyboard on the market...but with more cash left in your pocket after purchase..Version: 0
✓ Outstanding Support from the DevelopersIt works great as a remote and equally well as a keyboard/mouse combo. The ability to remotely launch any app from the taskbar is a real bonus! I've experienced no input lag with my Mac Mini on the mouse. Also of note is the terrific support of the app from the developer! I put in a request to the developer to add support for a specific app that I wanted to be able to remotely launch and not only did I hear back from them right away, but they updated rowmote helper and it added the feature I requested! I usually don't leave app reviews unless it's something that really blows me away, and rowmote pro and the developer have done that and then some! Well worth the price! Keep up the great work!.Version: 3.9.3
✓ Wonderful little appBought this to control my Mac mini (running mountain lion) from my iPad. Worked first time, just selected the mac from the list it displayed and it was working. I can now use AirPlay mirroring to display my mac upstairs on my TV downstairs (mountain lion feature) and input to it through the iPad. It is a better track pad than the apple magic trackpad (which uses Bluetooth) - far less lag. It will also let you activate apps in the finder even if you are out of sight of the mac screen so you can automate switching on AirPlay on the mac and put the automated app in the finder and then switch on airplay on the mac from the ipad. Saves having to go upstairs to activate AirPlay. Brilliant app!!.Version: 3.6.7
✓ Works GreatThis app works GREAT. Have had no issues. Does way MORE than I initially thought it would. Very pleased with it..Version: 4.3
✓ The best app everIf you have or are thinking of setting up a mac mini htpc this app is a must. I've tried a few controller apps and nothing compares to this app it's easy to use and to set up. Even the wife has figured out how to use it, and is a happy bunny that she gets to sit on the couch and watch catch up tv though our tv, but without this app, using a mouse and keyboard I don't think she would use it as much.Version: 0
✓ Better than ExcellentThis app has never crashed on me, never given me an error message or suffered from an error message..Version: 3.6.5
✓ One of the best uses for your iPhoneWhether you're looking at this app as a gimmick to show off to your sorry blackberry friends, or you're serious about controlling everything in your life through your phone, I'm here to say this app is for you. If you're sitting there saying - if this works like it says it does, 5 bucks is a great price- buy it! The only caveat is that battery life is not forever, but I'm not taking a star off for that because this is the iPhone we're talking about here, and battery life is a problem for any use. So for absolute die hards- this may not be the perfect replacement for a real remote, but I'd say it's perfect for 9/10 people, and it's worth $5 for that tenth to see for himself. Coolest app on my phone (and I have a lot of cool apps).Version: 0
✓ Family proof your media centerIf you're looking for a wifi based remote for your Mac mini media center or the like, this is the app you want. I've used air mouse, plex's remote, apple remote for iTunes and when I had line of sight, the IR remote control from apple. This app is the closest you will come to emulating the apple remote control. Air mouse was great but it was glitchy. Plex's remote is great for surfing the plex library, but it's navigation remote lags. Rowmote will bring it all together. Sure you an use remote for iTunes and plex's app for their specific things, but if you are running Eyetv as well, Rowmote is the most user friendly app to family proof your media center. My wife is tech saavy before this app I got complaints when I moved the Mac mini to another room so I could clean up my living room because she couldn't use the IR remote. Once I got this app, the complaining stopped. Thank you Rowmote!.Version: 3.7.1
✓ Perfect compliment to HTPCI bought this app when I bought a MacMini to use as a home theater PC. I wanted something that had a trackpad and keyboard built in, Rowmote has that. I like that it is open to controlling things such as finder, I chatted away in iChat with it, e-mailed people via the mail app and in Safari, and controlled Plex with no issues. The only thing that is wrong with this application (and it's not wrong just touchy), is that the shake to toggle the keyboard is so sensitive that I sneeze and it toggles the keyboard off and on. I wish we can lock the screen. For example, if I am using the trackpad I can lock it in both landscape or portrait and likewise with the keyboard. That's really the only thing I'd enhance. I love that it reacts to two finger scrolling (that is a plus to those of us who use a notebook frequently. It also seems to be semi friendly on the battery..Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI'm usually very hard on apps with my reviews, but this app works great. It does everything it it supposed to do and I have yet to see an error. Kudos to these programmers. :).Version: 3.9.1
✓ Rowmote Pro - Great AppI was a bit cautious at first due to the price but have found it to be absolutely wonderful, really very smooth interface and extremely easy to use, thank-you. My only slight problem is that when I try to connect, when both my iPhone and MacBook are joined to my University's Campus wireless network (as you can imagine this network is quite large), Rowmote on my iPhone cannot find my MacBook, in fact it comes up with no computers at all, it may just be there are too many Macs to populate them all, if that were to be over-come, a perfect app. Thus four stars..Version: 0
✓ I'm pretty lazy. This just makes it easier.Besides the obvious application of controlling iTunes without getting off the couch / away from your desk, if you have a Mac Mini or other media centre, this app makes cursor or keyboard input super simple & quick. The zoom feature means you can have full trackpad & keyboard input on a 13" MacBook, and even see where you're clicking from the other side of the room. Couldn't recommend it more..Version: 0
✓ Just FabulousI love it. Fabulous app as I use it for Mac mini used as a media centre and this is so versatile. I had an issue with IOS last update and emailed for support to Rowmote and Evan promptly replied with a solution. Thank you for a great app and I've used this now for many years on my iPad..Version: 4.2
✓ Best remote app availableI have tried many remote control apps and Rowmote Pro is simply the best in its class. It's easy to use - no manual required - and it doesn't try to stuff a million superfluous "features" into one app but includes all the features you look for in remote app. Also, one payment of $6.99 unlocks the entire app unlike another remote app that charges a few bucks per "partial upgrade". If you're looking for a high quality (stable) and well-designed app with which to control your computer...your search is over!.Version: 4.3
✓ BrilliantWorks fantastically!.Version: 3.6.1
✓ Seems Okay, now!Will have to get used to the new UI layout of this app. After many years of using this app, I miss the old UI layout which I still think was very good, but at least, this app is still back up and working with my old iMac! Thanks for the update and fix!.Version: 5.0.1
✓ Je le conseilL'application est facile à utiliser et il fonctionne très bien.Version: 4.3
✓ NiceThat is a nice app.Version: 4.4
✓ Simple, cheap, and it works!Excellent app.Version: 3.3.5
✓ Brilliant!!!!¡¡¡¡I spend ages looking for an app like this and this is the only one that worked!!!!.Version: 3.5.4
✓ Great appI use rowmote with my Mac mini and my apple TVs. The ability to be able to sit in front of any TV in my house (that has an Apple TV) and use my Mac from my iPad is great!.Version: 4.1
✓ If you plan to upgrade from the basic version and have multiple devices, read onThis is not clearly explained by the developer or Appl but it turns out that if you Upgrade via the in-app purchase YOU CAN UPGRADE ALL DEVICES at NO extra charge, iTunes will just tell you that you have already purchased that item and will upgrade the app on the additional devices withouth charging again. Only pain is to repeat the process on each device, however this is less work than buying the Pro version on the store and replacing the original one. Problem with this second method is that you have to configure whatever custom settings you have on all the devices and re-pair them with the computers. Also, costs an extra buck. I left the review similar to the original in the hope that it may clarify the situation for others in my same position. Apple TV support takes a bit of work and guts. This is a great app. Highly recommended..Version: 0
✓ RecommendedWon't a remote that does exactly what it says then use Rowmote Pro! I've used it for years and it amongst one of the best all round remotes. It's pairing function is spot on which allows you to have multiple remotes for the one device .i.e. Phone, tablet etc... Very cool!.Version: 3.9.5
✓ Years of happy useThis app never fails me. Just migrated to a new Mac Studio and this gem keeps shining. Thank you!.Version: 4.4
