El Trackpad

They offer a “one week trial” and charged me just right at the moment I wanted to activate “the trial” if you don’t want to offer it, why bother and show that message

Certainly better than paying $$$ for a Mac trackpad, but there are times when particularly after a sleep period, when El Trackpad overrides the USB and nothing else works, such as wired mouse

This app would be useful if they update it where I can use the IPhone as a trackpad to my IPad Air and Stage Manager for the most portable mobile office

A good idea. I hope they can make it work. But it’s not there yet. I paid anyway because I want to support the work.

Looking for an app that could fully utilize my iPad’s screen as a trackpad. The trial idea was great and I used it for a week and was hooked. Pros: - Absolutely no lag at all due to cabled connection - Gestures work well for not having pressure sensing capability like the normal Mac trackpad, assuming it works nearly the same as Apple’s Magic Trackpad as I’ve seen online - 7 Day Trial really lets you experience the full app Cons: - In certain applications (for example, IntelliJ IDE), tap with two fingers for right click refuses to register (the same on the built in Mac trackpad works) - Very rarely some gestures will not register, probably due to finger detection on the iPad side

I was pleasantly surprised to find most of the trackpad gestures I’m used to working out of the box. It would be great if two-finger swiping to got back and forward in Safari works too!

I love this so far. I don’t mind the cord because it makes for fast responding. My main issues are that the pinch to zoom and zoom out is only good/precise for zooming in. When you try and zoom back out it goes in tiny increments rather than quickly. I like to be able to smoothly control my zooms. The double two finger tap also sometime registers as a zoom and often responds with a right click. I think this could be resolved by making the zoom a three finger double tap instead as the touch gets confused. I’m already finding this frustrating. I would also love the option to change the orientation to use as landscape as I have a smaller phone. If this were resolved (particularly the zoom) I’d be so happy as the rest so far is wonderful. I can’t speak to the rotation option as I haven’t used it yet.

I was looking for something like this! It’s actually very intuitive and really helps increase productivity as well as posture when using the MacBook as a desktop. There is some lag issues sometimes, and Bluetooth would be amazing. But overall very impressed. Would definitely consider purchasing after the trial.

I liked it but didn’t realize I need a wire . Get that fixed and I will get give you 5 stars

Putting aside the need for a hard wire (sidecar works without them and little lag), iPadOS 15 no longer allows you to disable multitasking gestures so you can’t use the Expose features. Still works as a mouse but finger count gesture mapping needs better customization support.
