Works great

Very handy to leave my computer at my desk and share a power point in the conference room! Remote control mouse was a nice touch.
The perfect complement to Airparrot 2

I've had Airparrot 2 for almost a year now and have loved having it on my Mac. The one thing that it had been missing was a way to remotely control it and this app delivers in just the way I wanted. It seamlessly connects and allows me to do control Airparrot as I do on my Mac. Great work! Important note: make sure you update Airparrot 2 on your computer otherwise the app probably won't recognize your computer.
Good Premise, needs additions

The idea is great, I love air parrot and the thought of not even needing to touch my computer to use it is wonderful. But my media that I want to share is not on my main hard drive in my computer, but a secondary drive. The "Browse" function for selecting media does not allow you to search other drives. This is an issue. Would be wonderful, otherwise just standard stuff. VLC Media Players app allows searching multiple drives, introduce something like that so the browse function isn't limited.
Crashes and poor tech support

Pretty disappointed with the product. The app continuously crashes, and now doesn't work at all. Been working with customer service for over a week with no resolution, and they will not issue me a refund.
Awesome control app!

I found out about this app on 9to5Mac and decided to try it out since I’m a fan of this company's AirParrot 2 desktop mirroring software. I’m glad I did! Being able to control my AirParrot 2 software from my tablet comes in handy when I don’t feel like carrying my computer around. The extended desktop feature is a nice add-on because it lets me use my iPad as an extra display for my computer. I think AirParrot Remote is a must have for any AirParrot 2 user. Highly recommended.
Great app, but no internet connectivity

I think this app is brilliant. Nice design, well executed and no lag. So very nice. But it is severely lacking in one area. The area I desperately need functionality: no connectivity across the Internet. I have to be on my local network to use it. That's pretty useless to me. There are tons of good remote control apps that do the same thing as this app just as well or better. What I was hoping for was to be at one campus and control the computer and screens on a separate campus since I can't be in two places at one time. I can definitely see the usefulness of it when I am on the network the computer is on, whether that be home or work. However, it would be much more useful if I could connect across the Internet while I am not on that network. That functionality would truly make this app stand head and shoulders above the rest!
Needs Improvements

Hasn't been updates in months and has lag issues. Often needs resets to connection. I'm running El Capitan and iOS 9. Please fix asap!
Doesn't work
Mike Stengel
I paid the eight dollars for the app and it doesn't sync with my computer. Not work anything when it doesn't work.
Buggy
TJFocker
Especially for a paid app the reliability of this app is totally inexcusable. It rarely actually connects my Mac to my Apple TV 3s or 4 remotely. It just spins and spins and times out. It connects pretty reliably from the Mac directly.
Disappointed

I have reloaded this App three times, trying to get it to let me set it up. It just sits there and laughs at me for spending my money.
