Junk! Don't waste your $$$$

The lite version doesn't do anything. You just get constant screens asking you to upgrade. I found Remote tap to be cheaper and do everything this is suppose to do. I didn't try the full ver of Remote Jr. So I can' say if that works but why take the chance.


Love it!

I upgraded to the full version
Raziel57

I bought this version and it looked great so I upgraded to the full version. Parts of it are GREAT! I love seeing what's on my computer through my iPhone. I can launch programs, change the volume, almost anything I want to with my iPhone now. HOWEVER there are some issues that keep this as just an ok program as opposed to a must have. These are from the full version. I'm using an iPhone 3GS paired with a new MacBook Pro. 1.) If you launch the trackpad from the normal view (portrait) it works great, but if you turn your phone upside down it's supposed to automatically launch the trackpad, but it only works sometimes. It launches but you cannot control anything. I don't have that problem if I launch it right side up though. 2.) When you put it in landscape mode you get a view of your computer screen (the entire reason I bought it). If you use the "navigate" mode you get a courser that you can move like the trackpad BUT when ever you go to double click something to select it our launch it more symbols come up (allowing you to right click or write something). This is VERY annoying when you are simply wanting to select something. Sometimes it takes 10 to 15 taps to actually get it to select something. Grrrrr. A two finger tap can be used to right click just like when you launch trackpad. And you can launch keyboard in the pulldown screen up top so why have these 2 symbols pop up EVERY TIME you click the courser? 3.) While in landscape mode you can also use "controls" which brings up 4 arrows and what looks like a stop button on the left and 5 more buttons on the right which include a RW, Play/Pause, and FF buttons along with "menu" and another button which launches "visualizer" in iTunes. They can also change to buttons that allow you to switch screens. The problem is that they take up most of the screen, you can dim them but they don't seem to work when they are dimmed. Also in iTunes they basically do the same thing (the buttons on the left and the right). Also I'll be trying to go down my song lists and all of a sudden it jumps over and clicks on iTunes store or hits one of my play lists. No idea why. 4.) For some reason, if my iPhone moves around the mouse courser on my computer sometime starts to go haywire and starts moving around with the movement of the phone. These are all simple fixes and I hope that they do fix them soon! If they do (especially #2) then this program would quickly become a 5 plus star must have!


Be careful what you toss
strummin67

I liked the idea of it but the version I purchased earlier this month operated very slowly. It took about ten minutes to open one folder. It takes some figuring out, like most things and the navigation can be tricky. It's real easy to "fat finger" it and open up the wrong things. I tossed it in the trash and deleted it by mistake. The "alias" is still in my applications but it's useless now. So I'm out $5.99.


Great!
Jewman2452

Okay so this app works great but my only complaint is the icon. I have like an OCD for this and I can't stand the icon. Change it! Otherwise, this works great!


awsome app!!!
remoter_man

Like it sooooo much. This app does what I needed three apps to do b4. It takes only few seconds to get it up and working. After trying light version I upgraded to pro version and I couldn’t be happier!


Perfect

That pretty much sums it up
