Rowmote Pro for Mac

Everything worked wonderfully until this update! The keyboard is the biggest issue… I go to type on the Rowmote Pro app while working in Microsoft Word on my iMac, but what I type does not show up correctly on my computer. The text bar you have at the top of the Rowmote keyboard seems to take precedence over what I actually want to have show up on my computer and it’s not always what I type. When I hit delete so I can backspace, it deletes more than one letter at a time. if I want to hit “command” M to minimize my window, nothing works… It’s the same for any “command” function I try to do. This app was CRUCIAL to me being efficient as a quadriplegic and now it doesn’t work… WHY did you change it when it was working fine?! PLEASE go back to the previous version until you have all the bugs worked out!

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

I have this app for years and it has never failed me. Seriously, when I can’t get Bluetooth keyboards to work or remote apps to wake wake a stubborn Mac, this is the app I turn to. When I want to sleep my monitor at night, this is the app I turn to. When I’m listening to Pandora through my home thanks to airplay speakers and this is app I turn to for control of the music. I cannot say enough great things about it. It’s great anytime you have a Mac connected to a tv directly or through an AppleTV. Honestly, I hope the developers don’t mess with a good thing and just keep it great. I have read the other reviews, so I’m curious was others think.
