WHAT IS HIPPOREMOTE?
Category Price Seller Device
Productivity $4.99 RoboHippo LLC iPhone, iPad, iPod

Control your computer with a wave of your hand or a flick of your finger! Impress your audience at speaking engagements or just veg out on the couch.

HippoRemote Pro turns your iPhone and iPod touch into a Wi-Fi keyboard, trackpad, and remote control, making it the perfect pocket-sized controller for your computer.

HippoRemote works great as a clicker for your Keynote or PowerPoint presentation. Or to control your classroom's interactive whiteboard.

In addition, like a high-end universal remote, you can customize the buttons and tailor them to specific apps. This makes it an ideal remote control for your HTPC, whether it's a Mac mini running Plex, a Windows PC running Windows Media Center, or a Linux box running XBMC.

HippoRemote Pro also has a gamepad mode, letting you control your favorite PC games.

And because it all works over Wi-Fi, you get superior range and no line-of-sight issues compared to traditional remotes. No extra dongles or expensive adapters required.

Bugs need fixing

Worked well until I updated to iOS 10. Now it blanks out on the arrow screen when typing. Please fix I use this app to assist me with the computer... I am quadriplegic


Needs update
nologic2001

Hasn't been updated in 4 years. Does not work with iPhone 7. Crashes when trying to change settings.


iOS 10 crashes
¡Not so happy!

Since iOS 10 upgrade HippoRemote Pro crashes each time keyboard is used. Tech support doesn't return emails about this issue. I wouldn't recommend buying until they fix the crashing.

This app is really good! Now it's easy to watch videos on my notebook.


Update
Chhetri rabi

I've email the developer of this apps in person and I think this would be my third review on apps store. This is very great apps so far but without the updates on it since I'd purchased, I'm just worried that this apps would be of no any use in future. I don't understand why its not being updated ever.


Great App
Eziothelegend18

No bull... this is a great app I love the responsiveness on it


Keyboard problems
Billngs52

This is a great app. The only problem I have is when I'm using the keyboard , it keeps disconnecting my connection. Then I have to reconnect. I make ten to fifteen key strokes and it disconnects. I'm using a iPhone 7.


Fix macros and update compatibility
