New York Times article on i-Clickr Remote:
"PowerPoint presentations and the like are a bit easier to control remotely because, presumably, they are being viewed through a laptop. But the benefit is considerable. No longer tethered to your laptop, you can move around the room while still holding in your hand an image of what’s on the screen behind you. No more of that weird over-the-shoulder karaoke move when checking to see where you are in the presentation."

Garbage. DO NOT BUY!
Vüter
This app is useless. Definitely not for someone using it in a professional environment when you need things to work the first time. It is completely unreliable and takes forever to try get working. Once you've tried all the connection options you might get lucky but your connection will most likely drop and you'll spend another few hours trying to fix it.
A Good Start

I have many times in my career when thing do not work out as planned. However nothing pisses me of more than the morning of a presentation finding out that the I-Clickr application on neither one my PC’s will open. The app on my iPhone, iPad and PC worked fine for 2 months until this very important day when it did not open and gave a error on my PC. This is why I have given it a low rating.
does not work well with iOS 4
bigotime
It's a good application and very useful when it works fine. But I just upgraded the flatform of my device to iOS4, and it doesn't work well any more. It takes while to load the ppt when I connected to server PC (it used to be much faster before with os 3) It doesn't change pages on iPhone when I swipe or click to next page. When I wait very long time, pages are changed all together. This application is relatively expensive app. The vendor should have more responsibility to update their program along with the new os...
Almost ready for prime time

This is SO close... Still sporadically glitchy, and it needs a few more features, all of which several other previous reviewers have noted, but wow, to have a little presentation mode screen in the palm of your hand to look ahead with is amazing. I'm really hoping the developers tighten this product up, because then it will be worth the ten bucks that I paid for it. I suppose I'm investing in hope here...
Does not work after video
ajer57
It works just fine for most presentation, but once you have a video, the remaining slides are preloaded with still images from the video so as you progress after the video, all you see on the iTouch is these still images. It does not affect what the audience sees.
i-Clickr Not Recommended for anything more than simple use.
Presenter left stranded
Difficult to get the application going. The user interface and feedback are not reasuring. And when beginning a presentation, confusion is the last thing you want in front of a crowd. Confusing that i-Clickr does not work with the Slide show mode from within Powerpoint. Perhaps my arrangement is unusual (non-mirroring of projector with laptop) but I doubt it. If you can get slide show mode started with i-Clickr, it does not allow the laptop to display in speakers notes mode. The laptop and projected images must be same with i-Clickr. Very slow to load slides is you have more than a couple. Of course the reason to buy the app is use with a large (>15 slides) and then pay app fails to load the slides in any reasonable time. Now I see a disclaimer on the app description page about turning off Bluetooth. Lame.
Great application!

I love it! Here is a suggestion. Getting notifications made it crash. When I'm doing a presentation I don't need sports scores. Perhaps an option to disable notifications when in a presentation. Otherwise it's awesome!
Pretty Good App
jacobfanous
This is a pretty good application! I use it all the time at work! It makes you look very professional when your changing the slides off your phone. The only problem I have with it is that is take forever to establish a connection between the phone and the computer. Other than that, this is an awesome app!
Works well, not quite plug and play
sierra fan
I'm sure there's a lot going on under the hood so, not surprisingly, I would recommend reading the instructions... Connectivity: Using it on an existing wireless network is easy, it finds my existing network no problem. Ad hoc network: once the network was created on the computer side of things I have had no problems what so ever getting my iphone to connect to the network, and getting i-clickr to find the network. Bugs: heed their warning about bluetooth. I could not use the app w/ Bluetooth enabled and it did cause some extensive trouble shooting. Senstic support: I read some other reviews which were critical of Senstic's support. I did not have that experience, indeed, they replied within two hours to an e-mailed support request and their reply did solve the problem (bluetooth, per above). Other problems: I have gotten the error "failed to load slide show, apple event handler error" (not helpful). When I try again it works. Not sure if this is on the side of the app, or within PPT or Apple.
