Remote KeyPad and NumPad

I tried to tap 5 stars, but they’re all dark. Not sure if it took, but know this: my intention was to give this app 5 stars!! Awesome tool!! I record remotely with my laptop quite frequently. Being rather old school., I don’t record comps, because I love punching in and out on the fly. I take pride in being called “Ninja Fingers” when it comes to punching in & out. I used to use a numeric keypad/asterisk for this function with my laptop, but I thought there had to be an iPad app that could do this. Sure enough, tried this great app and it works like a charm! I can be in the control room, or the booth and I can control the record in & out functions smoothly and not bound by a usb cable. ***Ok when I first wrote this review I was merely scratching the surface of what this app can do. Total Key command control, and it allows me to arrange my buttons in an order I choose and personalize them with colors, titles & icons??! This app is a must have for any DAW user that records remotely. Who needs a QWERTY keyboard!! Awesome!! Thank you for a great help to my engineering skills! Sincerely, André B. Los Angeles, CA

Every version of OS Big Sur or Mojave rendered third-party, simple, external numeric keyboards obsolete. Such keyboards are invaluable for use with MacBook Pro and Air devices. All elaborate reset solutions for SMC and NVRAM offered by Apple were time-consuming and ultimately ineffective/useless. I can only conclude that Apple wants you to buy their accessories, since prioritizing an OS solution to this problem (as reported in multiple blogs) just hasn’t happened. This Remote KeyPad & NumPad app really works and is a huge timesaver. If you’ve been reluctant to try it and yet are frustrated by not having a usable external numeric, this is the solution. Its setup isn’t necessarily “connect and go”, but once set up, it’s very reliable and portable between laptops. I’d only add emphasis to one point that the app instructions make…make sure both devices are on the same WIFI network…sometimes networks switch from 2.5 to 5 GHz, and it can get the number pad out of sync with the laptop. Thanks for a great app!

I use this app to input numerical data on my MacBook Air for reports and it is just easier to use this app instead of the keyboard. I purchased the app and was up and running within a few minutes. No issues. Works flawlessly. There is a slight delay from my iPhone’s interface to my laptop, however it’s not that bad and it’s still more efficient than using the keyboard.
