REVIEWS
“I’ve tried many similar apps before, but none of them worked as well as El Trackpad. Besides not having any notable lag, the app lets the user perform the same gestures as you can do on Apple’s Magic Trackpad.”
— 9to5Mac
“What makes El Trackpad so impressive here is the fact that it appears to be lag-free and works identically to an actual Apple Magic Trackpad, which is super awesome.”
— Redmond Pie
“If you’ve ever used a Magic Trackpad or the built-in version on any MacBook model, you’ll be right at home with the app.”

Trackpad for ipad

allen Ta on

Vietnam

Can you please programme the app so that i can use iphone as a trackpad for ipad.

Great, but…

JHayes328 on

United States

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

It would be nice if I could use my IPhone as a trackpad for Ipad

Out 3 bucks on

United States

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

Swipes pickup on iPad an swipe you out of the app

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.

Great App, Minor Errors

jajefan on

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

Great app

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!

Needs some bug fixes for zoom/right click but generally a huge money saver

anabananalisa on

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.

Underrated app, quite great

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.

Fix the wired connection

M-A,i on

United States

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

Needs Updating for iPadOS 15

Yeshuawatso on

United States

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.
