Culling photos
I sort through thousands of photos at a time in Lightroom, rating them by hitting the 2 or 3 keys, along with a handful of others. Holding my hand over the physical keyboard is an ergonomic strain, so this app allows me to push the buttons I need right from my phone while my hands are on a more comfortable and natural position. I’ve designed four big buttons (by merging 4 little squares) so that i can fly through the photos with just my thumbs. I’m sure I’ll be coming up with lots of other uses for this elegant and customizable app.
Trouble reconnecting
Worked fine one time. Have been unable to use after first attempt. Tried to contact developer. No response. Disappointed.
Solid App
I tried other apps and they did not input “+” and “-“ as if they’re coming from the numeric keypad. This one does! The ability to make custom keypads is a plus, though I did not see a way to change the size of the actual tile on the custom keypad. It is quite customizable though, and this is an area in which I could delve deeper. One caveat is the latency, but this is probably inevitable for an app like this. And in most cases, it won’t matter. All in all, it’s a solid app that can come in handy in a variety of situations.
Myself
How do I use it
Very cool shortcut app
This is a very cool solution for something like LilyPond: you can save a lot of time typing the note lengths, as well as any other code, that is required to be typed repetitively.
No lagging, great customization. Highly recommend it!
So far, so good…
This app is very useful. It works well and does exactly what it was designed to do.
Numpad
Had little trouble getting it to find my computer but the website was helpful. App works fine now.
Lifesaver
I work on a MacBook, which doesn’t have a keypad. NumPad has been a lifesaver when entering data into an Excel spreadsheet. You can also create shortcuts, for example, I created one for taking a screenshot. I always forget the three key combination to do that and now all I have to do is press one key. This app is easy to use and performs flawlessly.

Only annoying thing is how fast it asks for a review
The app started begging for a review on the first day I downloaded it. How am I supposed to review it when I’ve only used it for a few minutes?
That being said, the app works good. Install process was easy. Lots of customization options.
I hope the review pop ups will stop now that I’ve left this review.
