Don’t buy

App is unreliable. It allowed me to connect and hasn’t allowed me to connect since. Don’t waste your money.

Supremely disappointing

SynVisions on

United States

There is no way to get access to arbitrary keyboard and mouse controls so you have to manually build workflows for any little thing you would want to do.

Does not connect.

I will request a refund.

I love alfred, remote is okay

Johnson4o on

I'm just sad that the play/pause button doesn't work. I don't use apple music, so I don't know if it works on that, but it does nothing to spotify and YouTube, etc. I have no idea why the pause, skip, rewind buttons are not just equivalent to pressing the same on the keyboard and are instead bound to a software I'll never use.

Get the Power Pack and use this

I’ve been using this across two Macs for a number of years. Having a remote that you can configure yourself for just about anything? Priceless. I didn’t think I’d like the 1.5 changes but they’re growing on me…. And yes one of the 5 remote screens is a TV remote for the 3 Mac media players on my machines. Tip: Try to match key bindings in every player you use… Infinite possibilities here, even if you’ve never programmed a line of code in your life.

Waste of time and money

Windwaves77 on

United States

The app is misrepresented on the Apple store site. The iOS app is inexpensive but it’s catch bait BEWARE: it’s useless without buying the “power pack” for the MacBook Pro which is in British pounds @ $1.4/lb do >$30. It’s somewhere between childish and dysfunctional. It took about an hour to figure out how to connect the iPhoneX and then the functionality was minimal. Day 2 could not reconnect. Ok so forget about a few $ for an app but the system is constructed in a idiosyncratic way. Just a huge waste of time and money.

Pretty functional

Masih hedayati on

This is a great idea and a well made product. However, a redesign, additional of things like widgets, and maybe siri integration, would make it very much better. I think, the big part has been finished. It is worth going that 15% just to make the experience smoother.

Hello? Anyone home?

Where did you go, Alfred? I thought we were friends?

Could Be Great but no updates!

ovrdrvn on

United States

Was surprised I can run any Alfred workflows...seems odd. Access to system command and bookmarks are nice but not unique. Integrate this further and it's a must have combo.

Boring

Robozombie on

United States

Until I can pass data to Alfred workflows from iOS (using a share action), this is little more than a proof of concept.
