Rowmote Positive Reviews

Good app, has minor glitchesI upgraded to pro within the app, it has some glitches like i can only control my computer volume only when i open chrome or an app it can control from the dashboard, volume buttons used to work well to control the volume so no need to use app interface, that seems not to work in this update, i used to have an issue where it would loose connection/not find my mac, thats good now... i bought app when came out for a 1$ not the price it is today hence why im ok with the issues and quite satisfied..Malco_hVersion: 4.3

Works great on my MacBook Pro !I own a 2012 pro. And I'm using the iPhone 6 as a a remote with the MacBook. This app works great ! Saved myself 20 bucks from not buying an actual remote ! Plus I always have my phone on me so now the remote app is always with me. Plus the rowmote app on the iphone and on the MacBook always stay connected to each other without interfering with anything and it does drain any extra battery from both decides. Highly recommend this app ! Only one buck !.HeatandthunderVersion: 4.3

Works.It is a functional trackpad and keyboard, developers make it clear what it can and can't do, and the Pro Version to do most of the basic functions you will most likely need. Developer has been pretty up front about it requiring both devices be on wifi, and I personally have never had a problem with this app. I have used it for years on several iphones/ipads and macs, and it works. Thanks!.CamerounVersion: 4.3

Remote control appThe remote is great the only thing that would make it perfect is to have the ability to rewind just parts of what you are listening too instead of rewinding the entire thing. Is that possible? Add a rewind slider button? 👍☺️👍.RenaudioVersion: 4.3

Little miracleUse with my Mac Mini connected to Samsung TV. Was originally using cheap PC wireless keyboard with trackpad but couldn't zoom, swipe etc. This app allows me to use all of the above. Feels like my MacBook. Much less bulky to use this app on iPhone and iPad compared to a keyboard. Love it!.MikeylaufVersion: 4.3

Great app, been using it for yearsI have had this app for several years through different computers and it has consistently worked well. The keyboard and mouse are easy to use. Great functioning!.IgjohnsonVersion: 4.3

Pro version well worth itIf you’re on your couch and don’t want to use keyboard and mouse, this baby’s the best. And who doesn’t have their phone on them?.RealdantanielVersion: 4.3

Great appThis was first recommended to me a few years ago by an Apple Store employee. Since then, I've used it daily to control my HTPC (mac + tv). I love this app..Crc0122Version: 4.3

Works great with my Mac AirNow my Mac is hooked to the TV set all the time and I sit back in my couch! I have full mouse and keyboard control with this app..Manolo FVersion: 4.3

Works wellI've been using this app since the very first release. It works pretty well as a remote for my Mac Mini that I'm using as a HTPC under my TV. Due to SAF (Spousal Acceptance Factor) the Mini is hidden in a cabinet so the Apple remote doesn't work. With this app I'm able to control my Mac over WiFi I would give it five stars, only I have some vague feelings of frustration when using it. I feel that the developer is too wedded to the idea of emulating the Apple hardware remote on its main screen. That was cool when the app first came out but it's very limiting. Some UX design work on the iOS app could produce something really outstanding. The OS X helper app has everything needed. I also wish the developer could provide a version for older iPhones. I use a decommissioned iPhone 2G for a remote, but can't apply any updates to it since this is iOS 4 or later. The Mac's helper app works with both the old version I have on the old iPhone, and my newer iPhone 4, which is good news..PlindenVersion: 3.6.7

Very goodIt's very useful.Lovita jr...Version: 4.3

Best service, great app, better than buying a remote at an Apple store - hands down.I'd like to first point out, it's not a ripoff for those of you who obviously didn't put anytime into making the application work. Mine didn't work right away because of firewall issues in my apartment building, there could be other issues with your connection too. This is bound to happen since all computers are designed differently and have different personal setting that, chances are, you setup when you got the computer and just simply forgot about - its not a ripoff by any means. I previously had the original "Remote" application that worked for the longest time then with all the new updates, it stopped working this past month so I decided to change to Rowmote - needless to say, best decision I've made. The TECH SUPPORT is the best I've seen with any application and yes, that includes better than the pain in the neck Apple company applications who I can't stand dealing with some of their tech people. I emailed the head support person named Joe that has all his credentials on the website and he literally got back to me 10 minutes later (ok, maybe I got lucky that time but I emailed him again the following week and yet again I got a reply with 20 minutes) - this either tells me they never leave the computer or they got great service. Either way great app - its a must buy!!.Greg HomesVersion: 3.6.1

Great program. If planning to upgrade to Pro, read onThis is not clearly explained by the developer or Appl but it turns out that if you Upgrade via the in-app purchase YOU CAN UPGRADE ALL DEVICES at NO extra charge, iTunes will just tell you that you have already purchased that item and will upgrade the app on the additional devices withouth charging again. Only pain is to repeat the process on each device, however this is less work than buying the Pro version on the store and replacing the original one. Problem with this second method is that you have to configure whatever custom settings you have on all the devices and re-pair them with the computers. Also, costs an extra buck. I left the review similar to the original in the hope that it may clarify the situation for others in my same position. Apple TV support takes a bit of work and guts. This is a great app. Highly recommended..Coliv77Version: 0

Excellent!At the beginning I thought it was missing functions, but upon closernlook an more use I really like it! I will probably upgrade to pro. I take back my last review and give them one more star! Update: did upgrade and I'm pretty happy, works as expected! Good app..Marlene_CruzVersion: 4.3

Swiss Army Remote ControlThis application is terrific, but hasn't reached it's full potential yet. Visual and audible feedback were conspicuously absent from the version I purchased initially. When I `pushed a button' there was no corresponding movement on the Rowmote interface. Audio feedback has been added to the latest update, so when you push a button now, you hear an audible `click'. This was not necessary on the original Apple remote, because when you pressed a physical button it moved. The interface is gorgeous, but is oversimplified for a device capable of doing so much. If visual feedback and possibly a backlit `LCD' display were included in a future release, it would make a terrific application an excellent one..DXFVersion: 0

Perfect!!Works perfectly! Just what I needed! A remote to control the volume when I watch movies on my bed! For only $0.99!! It's a steal for sure.Grreat app!Version: 3.6.5

Best simple remoteJust like the apple remote, but also does app-switching, fullscreen toggle, etc. The mac-side helper program is unobtrusive and uses the least memory of all similar programs I've tried. I ran into a couple bugs on my old device running is 3.1.1, but the developer was easy to reach via Twitter and quickly solved the problems! The free version does not offer mouse/keyboard control--if you need those you'll have to get the pro version..1nsidePocketVersion: 3.6.2

Works amazingly and with a gorgeous new interface!Rowmote is a fantastic application! Since MacBooks no longer come with an Apple Remote, this is a necessity for all Mac owners! Rowmote works just as advertised and it now has a gorgeous new interface. Thanks to the developer for a job extremely well done!.EricleamenVersion: 0

Mac Pro Users!Me and my fellow Mac Pro users don't have IR sensors, and therefore have never been able to use Front Row with a remote. Now, not only can I control Front Row from my couch, I can control a bunch of apps, and change music from other rooms (its WIFI !). This simple program just completed my entire setup, I'm in heaven. "Rowmote, you complete me".Odo.michaelVersion: 0

Best Remote AppThis is certainly the most well designed app for remote controlling OSX. Interface is great and helper/service app you install on the computer is simple and does not require configuration. Certainly a must have for OS X users with an iOS device..Deric D. DavisVersion: 3.9.9

Really well doneI bought this app so I could control Plex on my MacBook Pro as it pushed video through Airplay to my TV. And the remote does this perfectly. Nicely spaced buttons, good design and a satisfying click sound. But then I also found, that with a few buttons, I could also launch or quit Plex and turn on and off Airplay, all from the iPhone. Just a really nicely thought and designed app. Highly recommend. Works well with other applications as well..PenageVersion: 3.9.8

Rowmote Negative Reviews

Tentative At BestI cannot do a review on the pro version because I did not buy it at the app store rather I upgraded within this app. Unfortunately, anyone wanting to buy the pro version probably will not see this review. I got the regular Rowmote app to work quite quickly, but decided I could use the trackpad and keyboard also. Well, that is a big mistake. In the Pro version, many times if you tap the trackpad, the color wheel appears and stays. You are stuck until you can hard restart your Mac. Also, there is a landscape only mode, but I find it to be hard to manipulate with a keyboard. I would prefer a portrait-only mode but that does not exist. And if you check landscape-only mode, your trackpad will disappear unless your phone is in landscape position. It's a nice feature if you love landscape mode, but for the rest of us it is a hindrance. This is not a well-thought-out app and while I recommend (basic) Rowmote, I strongly dislike Rowmote Pro..Honest davidVersion: 4.3

So frustratingI can’t seem to get these two connected. I tried suggestions listed, I either want my money back or for someone to just show me how to make this work already….Aldop815Version: 4.3

Requires both devices to be on wifiI got this app because I needed to control my computer (in a wifi area) from my phone (in an area that doesn't get wifi) so I could watch Netflix in bed. What the description doesn't tell you is that you need a wifi connection on both devices for this to work. Basically I just wasted money because that defeats the purpose, if I had wifi where my phone is, I would just keep my computer by my bed. I was hoping for something that communicated with Bluetooth or IR but that is not the case. Very disappointed in this and if it were more than $1 I would be writing an email and asking for my money back..JMaguire1991Version: 4.3

Terrible AppDon't buy it. It's not even worth the $0.99. Stupid app won't even connect to my Apple TV which is THE ONLY reason I bought it. You shouldn't advertise you can get it to work with a device if it doesn't work. Bunch of crooks..BigmossimoVersion: 4.3

Need Helper Application on Computer to be controlledI'm sorry, but the fact that you need to install additional software on the computer to be controlled should be upfront. The headlines makes it sound like it simply makes your iPhone or iPod Touch into an Apple Remote. Pretty slick marketing. OK so I'm an idiot for not clicking on "more info" and scrolling to the bottom of the page like I never did with any software I ever bought. I'm not buying insurance or a car here, so I wasn't expecting to be taken. I found out about this program from a review on MacWorld which made no mention of the need for a helper application either which is a little unusual. My system is complicated and I have a lot of important files and programs on it, so I don't like to put software on that I don't know or can't find out online how reliable it is. And judging from the amount of updates to the iPhone side of the app, it wasn't tested too well. So I don't use it, yet every time I turn on my iPhone it seems it wants to updated the stupid program. I'm loath to delete it as I did pay for it, but that's what's gonna happen..Don PalooVersion: 0

Buyer bewareThis application requires you to install a program on your computer. The program is a package, and we are not able to view the contents. Apparently it makes system changes, which have problems to be reversed. Check the support forum. I contacted the developer, and he was totally unhelpful. I assume the "pro" version is the same.
