El Trackpad

It supported three finger swiping for browser page forward/back as per native trackpad control. (Icing on the cake would be a gesture for toggling between windows rather than mission control) Other than that, it’s a great app for wired control of Mac using iPad/phone. Especially great where WiFi is too poor for other ‘remote’ type apps. Easily worth the money even if it is a little limited. Many thanks to the developer (please can you make the three finger browser swiping 🙏🏻)

Hi Hugo, thanks for developing this app. It is useful since I put my laptop up high to protect my neck, I have my bluetooth keyboard but currently do not intend to buy a trackpad. It is much smoother to use than local connection trackpad apps but the only problem is that all 4 finger guestures do not work. I switch between screens frequently so I still need to reach to my trackpad. Please help solve this problem and I'd like to offer further information.

Good simple app. Needed trackpad functionality for use with my Mac mini and this delivered. Didn’t need a wireless connection as it’s just sat on the desk next to me.

can’t use without phone being connected to mac via a physical cable, rendering it useless for my use case scenario. found another app called BTT remote which does what this app promises but does it wirelessly and works flawlessly.

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.
