Rowmote Pro for Mac

Remote, Trackpad, & Keyboard

Published by: Evan Schoenberg, M.D

Description

Rowmote Pro is the ultimate wireless remote, trackpad, and keyboard for Mac. A gorgeous universal app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, with everything from a multitouch trackpad to full extended keyboard support, and with no-configuration control of dozens of the best Mac applications, it is a must-have for any home media center or presentation!
* Rated "Excellent" and one of just 400 apps featured in the WIRED App Guide 2011 *
You love the remote control which came with your Mac - so simple yet elegant, with easy control of Front Row, iTunes, Quicktime, DVD Player, Keynote, and more.
Or, your Mac didn’t come with a remote control or doesn’t even have an infrared port. The Apple Remote would cost a significant amount. Add ANOTHER hit to your wallet for a wireless control like a keyboard, mouse, or the Apple Magic Trackpad!
You carry your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad wherever you go… so why should you carry a second device just to control your computer? Furthermore, why should you need line-of-sight to do so?
Enter Rowmote Pro! Rowmote Pro is like your Mac’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! Trackpad and keyboard give you complete control over your computer, and you can control, launch, and quit apps, toggle the Music Visualizer, and more without ever having to squint at your screen. Rowmote is Mac-like from the ground up.

Bug report

femitio on

Australia

5.0.1 no longer crashes on iOS 14.2. Thanks for quick update. The interface is messed up though. Bringing up the keyboard for instance pushes the bar at the bottom up to the middle, where it stays after closing the keyboard. The old interface was much easier to use and visually clear and pleasing. Please fix and make sure it works for older iOS, preferably as far back as iOS 8, but at least 10.

Works well to control iMac but...

PhillipE123 on

This app hasn't had any new features added in the 10ish years Ive been using it, that said I’ve been using it for about 10yrs and that says something. Some critic below - I’d like to see added a GamePad screen to play games on my iMac. Oddly don't know any apps that do this, seems a no brainer. I’ve love to play a car racing game on my iMac using my iPhone as the controller. The app doesn't advertise it does this - but please add it. Also using the keyboard I have to keep looking up to my iMac screen to check typos, Ideally the app itself would show what you’re typing. Additionally, the Applications tab shows a lot of my apps but doesn't seem to actually do anything. I can only use the mouse and keyboard as a... mouse and keyboard. The Applications tab adds zero. That said, the app via wifi works 99% of the time assuming your wifi is available (on rare occasion I need to relaunch the app on my iMac - meaning i have to get out of my seat for 30 seconds). And as my phone or ipad are always charged I don't need to worry about a mouse/keyboard with flat batteries. I tend to use my iphone as the mouse and my ipad as the keyboard - they work seamlessly at the same time via wifi. In summary, great app, that can and should be improved.

Not happy

This remote worked on my iPhone 8 but when I reinstalled it for my new iPhone 11 plus I upgraded and paid for this one. It won’t work. Wasted my money... not happy.

Does not work with EyeTV 4

A decade of being great... I’ve now had to upgrade to EyeTV 4. This is not compatible, no longer works as it did with EyeTV 3. Please fix.

Buggy

Talkychalky on

Only works with the play button to advance slide. Can’t get the forward or back buttons to work. Won’t launch video. Expensive for the things it doesn’t do.

Very handy.

This works a treat. I use it most days.

Does the trick

Been using Rowmote for years and love it. An update that allows control through iOS 10's new widgets would be amazing though

Just Fabulous

Karinds on

I love it. Fabulous app as I use it for Mac mini used as a media centre and this is so versatile. I had an issue with IOS last update and emailed for support to Rowmote and Evan promptly replied with a solution. Thank you for a great app and I've used this now for many years on my iPad.

It's really great!

I use this app without fail everyday and love every bit of it. The pinch to zoom works perfectly, as does the fast app switching function. Thank you very much for this fantastic product!
