Mobile Mouse - iPad Edition for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not so great for the bucksShould've had access to the task manager and various other aspects of the pc/Mac. This app is overpriced and I recommend anyone with an iPad stay away unless you have more money than sense.... Like me, and this is why I write reviews..Version: 0
✓ Doesn’t Work?I have a iPad 2 and 2012 MacMini both with the latest software and couldn’t get them to talk to each other even when creating vpn. Going through all the troubleshooting seems like there is an expectation that it won’t work in many situations. Be very cautious..Version: 3.0.4
✓ FrustratingCant get it to work, very frustrating...Version: 2.1.3
✓ This used to be a great appI have used this app to control my Mac Mini from my iPad for a while now. The last few days have been awful. The app will not stay connected to my computer. The file folders will not load, and a pop up appears saying I don't have r newest version. I deleted the apps and re-downloaded it as well as rest the server on my computer. Nothing is helping. When I try and play a movie that it on my computer, I have to wait 5-10 minutes before the computer recognizes the command. I am very disappointed with this upgrade..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Crap for the $$$I've owned and used the pro version of this for my iphone for a long time and even used the same on my ipad. I recently upgraded my ipad to the ipad 2 and unknowingly installed this version thinking it was the version I've already paid for and been using. To my surprise it was a rip off version of the original for the iphone that is so buggy I can't believe not only that I ended up paying twice for this app [once for my iphone and again for my ipad], but that they're passing it off as something as good or better than the original I've been using on my iphone. Place this in the spot where you've wasted money on apps. If you have an iphone and have this app already......don't waste the extra money. And P.S. Guys, it's not that good to soak us ipad and iphone owners twice!! This is a case where you pay extra and again for the ipad version and find it's crap for the $$$.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Great concept but needs more workSetup was straightforward and the UI is pretty simple to understand. However, it locks up frequently or loses all functionality except the cursor. In iTunes only the play / stop function works and iTunes frequently locks the whole screen on the pc, meaning you have to use a manual mouse to shut it down. I still haven't been able to find how to fire up MS Media Center, even though it's one of the hard-wired programs. A lot more work needed, but it's a good start..Version: 1.0.5
✓ No more useful than the iPhone versionThe multitouch gestures don't work with iOS 5. ie 4 fingers up and down. And they are unable to be edited to 3 fingers. If you have the iPhone version, you don't need this..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Works ok...However this app hasn't been updated in a while. it still has some annoying quirks, such as a propensity to initiate drag lock when all you intend to do is select something. This results in objects being dragged around to places you didn't intend. The app should have proper integration with safari's smart zoom, and the server app needs to be rewritten in cocoa. Otherwise ok..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Stops working oftenI got this for my HTPC. It works OK, but seems to be poorly thought out. It's missing some important keys like Tab and Delete. I wish the mouse click buttons would readjust themselves when the keyboard comes up. There have been a few times where it will stop working. For example, when I minimize the server to the task tray, I'll need to get my real keyboard and open a program like Firefox. It also seems to do it whenever I close a program, which is really annoying. Also, it stops working when Windows User Account Control pops up. I used the magnifying glass feature which is cool, but when I closed out of it, it again stopped working. For 2.99, it's a very cheap alternative to a real keyboard/mouse and nothing more..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Mobile mouse reviewStill trying to connect to server. Does not auto detect. No Support.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Frustrating Dropped ConnectionsThe connection between the app on my iPad and the Mobile Mouse server on my Mac Mini is frequently interrupted for a few minutes. This often occurs when selecting a menu item in Safari, such as quit. This has been true through recent updates, whereas the app performed flawlessly in the past. A shame..Version: 3.5.7
✓ Bugs in presentation modeI bought both iPhone and iPad versions, with Pro Presentation mode purchase, for use with PowerPoint presentations. In neither case does the slide content show on the device screen, as it is supposed to. I thought the iPad version would be useful for the bigger display space to show slide notes but the app only uses half the available screen so I still have to scroll the notes!.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Awesome mouse.Was impressed with it but have found out that it doesn't work with out access to the internet! Why does this app need internet access to work? What are you spying on...?.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Bad serviceBought this app and it's not working. I have disabled a lll firewalls and still it fails to connect. The iPhone app works fine but not the iPad app. I emailed the developer several times and have not had any response. The app has great potential but at the moment it's useless to me. DO NOT BUY THIS APP it's a rip off.Version: 0
✓ No pinch zoom! Like RowMoteMostly good app but lacks ESSENTIALS such as PINCH TO ZOOM. When using on an HTPC or Mac mini it is very useful to be able to zoom in on text such as in safari WITHOUT leaving your trackpad screen!! As of now I have to switch to the competions row mote for this. More application specific controls would be useful. Volume control without having to open iTunes. More safari controls. Easier controls for opening and closing apps and maybe add Expose like feature for viewing open windows. Thanks for the app.Version: 0
✓ Needs split screen on iPadWith split screen on iPad mini, I will give this app the 5 stars it will deserve. :).Version: 3.3.2
✓ Crash on openLike the last review, the app now crashes on open on my IPad 2. I hope they get this figured out soon..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Waste of moneyI could not get this app to work whatever I did... huge waste of time and money!.Version: 0
✓ New update Doesn't load at allAfter update, once I try to start the app it just jump yo a black screen for 1 sec. And I'm back to the main iPad wall..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Wheres the Cross Compatibility!!!The app itself works well but why do we have to purchase a separate app if I want this on my iPhone too? The application is exactly the same just adjusted for the ipad. I bought this app for ipad but i also want it to work on my iphone, can the developers please release this? Another thing is that their should a button at the top to hide the dock bar at the bottom or to move the dock to the side or top as when im using the mouse trackpad with the ipad flat on a table my wrist easily touches icons on the dock which I didn't intend to. Its a pricey app for its limitations but if the above problems are sorted then it will be worth it. The trackpad does work nicely though so thumbs up for that..Version: 0
✓ Worse than disappointingUpdate: don’t use an app before into the developers activity... I’ve tried to use this at the most premium level for a decade. It just gets harder to make it work. Every time starts with an update on both devices followed by a IT session to get it functional. I still have to use my MacBook for essential functions. So what’s the point of it? This last one don’t work at all. I bought this around ten years ago to make things easier as it promised.... We’ve been paying to be lab rats the entire time. This app has never achieved what it set out (and claimed) to do. I know it’s hard as a third party provider.. that’s why you don’t launch something until you got it right...Version: 3.5.7
✓ Lacking instructionsI like it so far but am troubled by how often I need to use “shift” to select multiple items or folders. I can’t figure out how to do this..Version: 3.6.0
✓ A Very Bad PortI'm not sure how you go from what is an amazingly well thought out and refined iPhone app, to this...a very poorly thought out port of the iPhone version. Aside from the application dock, all other aspects of the iPad UI are just scaled up from the iPhone. Even the two finger gestures feel like they are required to be too spread apart as though the finger spacing was just scaled up to the larger screen. I would probably be more willing to accept this half assed effort if it had been rolled into a universal update to the iPhone version. Instead I had to purchase this app looking for similar quality to the iPhone version, but instead I just get a bunch of scaled up muck with seemingly no thought put into how the UI might be better served on a large screen. I really hope you guys were just trying to get something out the door to fill the void and are planning a major revision to the interface. Otherwise I guess I'll just have to hope that someone else figures it out and my review will remain one star. The saddest thing is that this is still probably the best available option for iPad remotes....Version: 0
✓ Doesnt workDoesn't work I want my money back.Version: 2.1.1
✓ In a work environment - NO no.I don't know if my internet connection is not fast enough (I've tried both 2.4 and 5GhZ bands on both G and N wireless), but this application does not work in actual time. When you think the pointer is finally responding at live speeds, it does a hiccup and you lose traction. And even though the iPad screen is huge, it doesn't read as well as the trackpad. Doing the gestures for Mac OS are simply are pain. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I basically have to look at the iPad as I'm doing the actions to make sure my fingers are correctly spaced when doing a 5 finger spread, etc. Never have to do it with the actual trackpad. I guess it's good to use it from bed, but to use it as an actual substitute for a trackpad or mouse in a work environment, it falls short. Wish I could get my money back..Version: 2.0.1
✓ BrokenNewest update doesn't work.Version: 3.0.5
✓ Good, but it has issuesTry two finger scrolling a page in iTunes, and on an App page with screen shots try scrolling left & right. It's not very smooth... and its behavior is unpredictable. It doesn't seem to "lock on" to a horizontal or vertical scroll swipe as well as a Macbook's track pad. Speaking of that, there's no 3 finger gesture support and even 2 finger gesture support is limited. If this app did all the gestures of a Macbook's track pad, it would be killer--but it doesn't. Swiping to navigate web pages would be great (forward and back), for one. I'd also like to see a global sound feature to change system volume/mute no matter what app you're in. Keep up the good work... for me this is more of a novelty than a practical app until full gesture support on a Mac is supported..Version: 0
✓ Not as good as iPhone appI bought this app expecting it to be as good as its iPhone sibling, Air Mouse Pro. Unfortunately this iPad version feels very poorly thought-out and rushed. It's completely unusable horizontally if you want to type something. Its controls also look blurry, like the images used in them were scaled up versions of the ones used in Air Mouse. The addition to the regular keyboard also takes up a lot of space (how do I toggle it off?) and the buttons are poorly organized and crammed together. How about instead of tacking all those buttons on top of the keyboard, they just have one extra row like the iPad version with a button giving you an alternate keyboard with the F1-F12 keys? I liked that the iPhone version had the control/command/shift keys separate from the other ones and clearly distinguishable since those buttons are used frequently. I also don't understand why they took out the option to have a right-click and scrolling area when this app has more room to work with (I wasn't a fan of tapping with two fingers on the iPhone and am still not on the iPad). There's so much potential to make this app better than the iPhone version. Hopefully they clean it up in future versions..Version: 0
✓ Cant find serverCant find my iMac, web site support rubbish.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Only works half the time.Well yeah, the title explains it..Version: 3.5.2
✓ Waste of time and moneyDoes not connect..Version: 2.1.0
✓ MediocreThis app is okay. Firstly and most importantly do not get it unless you have a good Internet connection, otherwise the app is slow and unresponsive. Secondly the dock feature in the app is not great, if you have a big/medium size dock on your Mac it will run off the ends when the app magnifies which can get annoying. However despite some problems the app is not amazing but I can live with it! Defiantly will not replace my keyboard or mouse.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Mobile MouseAbsolute garbage. I've got a Mac Mini and it doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money..Version: 0
✓ IPad & Pad MouseIt seems to work and set up properly however the iPad app doesn't Seem to have the same functionality as the iPhone version. TheRE doesn'T sEem to be a manual on the web site. My only real complaint Is that whenever i pause typing for more then a second or two It capitalizes the next letter. This hapPens Even in the middle of a word. The only solution i have found is typing without stopping, and of course thats not practical, i'M sure they'll fix it. When they get this up to the level the iphone app is on i'm sure it'lL be a winner and I'll adjust my rating..Version: 0
✓ Waste of moneyAfter 40 minutes of troubleshooting; reinstalling, disabling firewalls, disabling virus protection, restarting laptop - still not working, very disappointed and have just gone to the competitor and theirs worked straight away. Would like a full refund..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Doesn't work Win7Don't get this if you use win7. You'll pull your hair out till you delete it..Version: 0
✓ Utterly baffled.I own several Mac products and enjoy the seamless transition from one to another as the chat away in the background updating settings etc. This 'App' requires nothing short of a PHD from MIT to install. I paid extra for Bluetooth connectivity yet still I'm left with zip, nada, nothing..... I'm going to buy a mouse. Sometimes going old school is the way ahead..Version: 3.3.1
✓ DecentThe app could use with downscaling of certain elements to give the trackpad more room. Would have been nice if developer offered this iPad optimized version in the iPhone pro version. :/.Version: 0
✓ UselessBought the iPhone , I pad versions..then they got me to pay more for the peer to peer within latter.....and never got any connection to my Mac..don’t buy !.Version: 3.5.3
✓ BaddAfter the most recent update, the app crashes as soon as I open it!!!!!! Please fix this ASAP!.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Why buy again?I bought this for my iPhone and loved it. It's even more useful on the iPad. But here's the issue I have. Why didn't they just release an update for the original to be universal. I have a bunch of other apps I paid for that were update for free to be universal for the Pad and iPhone. This just seams like a shallow cash in to me... But I guess I can't blame them with the down economy and all, still seams lame they did that though..Version: 0
✓ Would be 5 star if.....I would have given this app 5 stars if I didn't have to but it twice (1for iPhone and the other for iPad).Version: 0
✓ Not working since updateKeeps loosing connection ever since update I have checked my network and computer. I'm really disappointed that I payed money for this worked for a month then they go and do this..Version: 2.1.3
✓ DissatisfiedIf you want to use this app using USB stay away, after you purchase they demand more money for an additional communications package..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Stopped working since the last updateUsing it on mac mini, updated the app on both iphone 4 and iPad 3. App doesn't 'see' the server anymore, nor does manual connection work. Please fix..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Zero star performanceTotal waste of time & money. After realising the auto connect function was not going to work and inputting the ip address to allow the iPad to find the mac it worked for all of 2 minutes now it just crashes. I believe there are over remote apps out there before you spend your money.Version: 2.1.0
✓ Great app when I can get it to workI managed it get it to work and I was surpassed by the complete lack of lag. However, I only managed to get it to work by fluke. Im getting sick of these remote apps that just don't work out of the box..Version: 1.0.3
✓ DoubleThis app is the same as the iPhone air mouse! I don't see why it couldn't be modified to fit on the iPad also!.Version: 0
✓ Good for nowI agree with the statement that the icons look as if they were upscaled. The biggest difference for me is the way the mouse actually moves. On the phone i would have had to increase the sensitivity. It actually feels like I have the entire monitor to move the mouse. (because I do) Upside : The main use will be HTPC and this will make it so I don't need a full keyboard and mouse to clutter the living room. This will be the best purchase for of everything that I have seen on the app store. This combined with an xbmc remote will be the ultimate htpc controller. Best of all i can surf the web on the big screen and share what i find with everyone around me thanks to this. Downside: For everything it has it also lacks. The best thing and the worst thing for me is that its just a giant glorified mouse. There doesn't seem to be enough difference from this to the air mouse for the iPhone. Shouldn't need to pay more than 2 in my opinion. The app launcher at the bottom is nice but as it has been said before its a little blurry. The media controller doesn't seem to work with "media player classic" (win) like the air mouse did. Haven't tried others yet. All in all I am "okay" with what I got and if you have the extra money to waist then go for it. If not then go get the free version of air mouse and it will do about the same thing just a little differently. At least until and upgrade comes out..Version: 0
✓ Very BuggyUseless until fixed - don't get this app until reviewers have confirmed that it works properly. The main issue is that it often misinterprets what you're trying to do. A left click will be a right click, or a drag; the scroll bar use is intermittent as is two finger scrolling, etc etc. Get this app and watch your blood pressure go through the roof....Version: 0
✓ This used to be great.I used to love this, but it’s now dead. The peer to peer Bluetooth and hardwire connection have not worked at all. I went out and got a Magic Trackpad at the apple store because it wouldn’t work. The sever probably has nothing to do with it, but I solved it by getting a trackpad. If you update it to work I’ll keep using it since I have a phone etc. I couldn’t handle the constant freezing and crashing. I purchased this thinking if I use it peer to peer and hardwired I’ll have no problem. I was wrong. iTunes is no more so I don’t know why you still have that as a selling point. Fix it or hand it off to someone that will. It’s a shame such a good piece of software is going to go to waste. Don’t bother trying to look for something better than physical hardware touchpads because it’s night and day..Version: 3.5.7
✓ Needs split screen supportGood, but it needs split screen multitasking support on the iPad. Who needs a full iPad screen size mouse? But you might need to use the mouse app while doing something else..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Clumsy to useEasy to set up, but that's all the good. The keyboard doesn't work very well and is too large to use together with the mouse. Mouse buttons are not customizable, are way too large and always accidentally hit it. Finally, the media buttons are designed for windows media center (no navigation keys). I want a refund..Version: 2.0.1
✓ PoorThis app worked fine initially, however it suffers periods of being unable to connect, despite healthy wifi signals. Currently not connecting even after ipad & mac reboots. Don't throw away your mouse & keyboard yet, you're going to need them. Not worth actually paying for..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Great, but needs more multitouch gestures...Love this program, though I don't like paying for software twice (iPhone and iPad version). Needs full multitouch gestures (one, two, and three fingers) to keep up with the competition, though..Version: 0
✓ Intermittent problemsI wouldn't buy again... It's pretty sketchy, it works for 30 seconds just fine, then it freezes and I have to reconnect... Also very laggy. Very annoying. I will wait to find a better one. It has great potential though..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good, but not reliableUPDATE: My iPad updated the app to the latest version. It now will not run at all on my iPad. I have closed all other apps and restart the iPad, but it still closes as soon as I open this application. ---------- The app is absolutely brilliant, when it works. It is very responsive and is just like having an actual trackpad, just with a lot more space and a lot more responsive. However, the app seems to stop working at random times, and I have to reconnect it. The desktop client also uses a huge amount of system resources, which leaves the computer unable to complete simple task such as copy and pasting small files (this cant be done due to insufficient memory). This problem is solved when I close the process from task manager. Sorry, I really like the app but it just doesn't work for me..Version: 1.0.4
