Mobile Mouse

I used to have this app and used it as a remote control for my Windows computer in my bedroom. I have YouTubeTV and watch Tv in bed at night at times and this was a great way to basically have a remote for my computer to “change channels” and turn off my computer when I wanted to go to bed. After a few iPhone updates and some Windows updates, the app would connect initially but if I responded to a text and then went back to the app, it would never reconnect. I sent an email to the developer and asked them if they were still supporting this app as it had not been updated in over a year and 6 months. They told me it wasn’t abandoned and I should delete and reinstall the app and the server software on my computer. I did this and it worked for a short period of time. Then more iOS updates and Windows updates and I was right back where I started. I deleted and reinstalled AGAIN and it did not work. Again it would connect initially but if I did anything on my phone, when I reopened the app, no connection. The functionality of the software and the layout is great. I like that you can set up macros and add programs (apps) to a shortcut menu. The app is very user friendly and customizable but, what good is it if it won’t connect automatically when you open the app? I just read some other reviews that were recently posted as of the last update and saw some of the developer responses. I’m glad I went with and other app. To basically tell someone “you’re stupid” by telling them that something they didn’t like or disagreed with was “clearly stated” and “in bold letters” is kind of poor customer service. I don’t care if you have the best app in the world, you talk to your customers like that, you deserve to get one and two star reviews.

It works out well I haven’t used a full size keyboard and mouse for over 10 years. I have used every handheld keyboard with mouse pad . Some were Bluetooth others WiFi with dongle and phone mouse with keyboard like this one. It is exceptional and they have put thought into streamlining the changes that come up in the user interface. Searching, typing, scrolling and getting back to the mouse quickly and easily at anytime during. This is one of only two such well thought out mouse/keyboard apps that are out there for you to purchase. If you are good at mastering new layouts to make them work for you this could make life easier by only needing your phone in your hand to control everything.

I have used Mobile Mouse Pro for over 5 years now and can easily state that it is THE BEST. In the first couple versions I had, I thought it was somewhat glitchy, soon enough I realized that if MMP wasn't working properly, it was because I had made a mistake. There are other apps out there that allow you to stream videos from your Mac to your iPhone, or to open applications on your Mac from your iPhone. That may be important for some people, but after spending something like $10 on that app, I was able to make it work one time. Mobile Mouse Pro is so easy to install and sync between phone and computer, plus the settings you are able to change make this app a truly personalized experience. It's sort of funny to read many of the negative reviews for Mobile Mouse, because I can tell precisely what their issue is, and it has nothing to do with the app! This app is one of the only apps that I have carried over from phone to phone since I got it. I've never gone without it. That's how good it is.
