Excellent

Having tried virtually every remote app since the initial iPad 1, I’ll never understand the low adoption rate of this app. On the negative side, it’s no frills nothing fancy. On the plus side, it works. It works. It always, since the initial release, works. It’s infinitely more functional and versatile than any other HTPC remote app or the Apple Remote. It’s super simple to use. This is the only interface my family will use to watch Plex. There's an Apple TV4 sitting on top of our media mini. But when it’s time to watch Plex, the tv input is immediately switched to the mini and someone reaches for an i-device. For the simple reason Rowmote always works. The fact it works without our ATV4 in the chain is an added bonus. The ATV is hardly the paragon of stability. It also takes the Plex app/Infuse/MrMC and all the others out of the loop. Users of these apps will know the value of this statement.
The only way to control Apple’s DVD Player
Interface Wiz
I’ve tried just about everything, the Rowmote app is the only thing I have found to have proper control of Apple’s DVD Player app. Shockingly, Apple’s own IR remote will not fast forward or rewind even when using with an IR receiver equipped Mac. Although I would prefer a physical remote, this is the only solution I have found. With the advent of M-Disc, Optical media is becoming more popular again.
Needs update for iPhone X and XR still

Currently on the XR and the full functionality isn’t there. Works great on my old iPhone 6 but on XR it doesn’t fit the display and buttons are not all working etc. Please see what you can do dev team.
Best money I’ve spent on a app

Used this app for years. Wish they would update it to play nice with my new iPhone.
Used to be great. Now junk

This app used to be amazing. Now with, I guess all of the iOS updates, this app very rarely even connects, or in the middle of using it, it disconnects. If anything does work at all it’s only the pause button. The mousepad/trackpad never works period. Very disappointing. Used to be quite amazing.
Great

I think this is the best one out there, however sometimes it does take a while to connect or gets lost. What would be even better is if the volume button were mapped since I need to use command volume to change the system volume on my iMac with my Apollo preamp.
Review & possible non-connect workaround.

Been a happy trouble free user of Rowmote Pro for many years. Since I’m terminally lazy, Rowmote Pro’s ability to allow me to control my computer, using either my iPhone or iPad, without having to physically get up and go to my desk across the room, seem like a minor miracle! Although, my physical fitness has taken a major downturn as a result. Be warned! But with my recent iOS update to 11.4.1 from the previous 11.4, I started experiencing connect issues on my iPhone 6 but oddly enough not on my iPad Pro which also is running iOS 11.4.1. If your also experiencing a similar problem, I think I might have a simple workaround till the developer and/or Apple figure out and correct the problem! If Rowmote Pro after launch searches but is unable to connect successfully to your computer, shut it down, open control center and switch WiFi off then back on, on your device. Then relaunch Rowmote Pro. It should now connect with your computer successfully. At least it’s worked ever time for me. Hope it works for you as well! And remember if people give you pain for being “lazy”! Please inform them that finding faster and simpler ways of doing everyday mundane tasks, which is just another way of saying a lazy way of doing it, has probably been behind most major scientific advancements for the last 150 years! So take that you overly physically fit people!! ? iwolf2

This app used to be amazing. Now with, I guess all of the iOS updates, this app very rarely even connects, or in the middle of using it, it disconnects. This app very rarely works anymore, which is so sad because it used to be the greatest thing ever.
