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.

Don’t usually write reviews but…
This app is such a gift I have made a point of coming to leave a review. I use it to type on my MacBook Pro, and occasionally use the trackpad function too. The trackpad is slightly jerky but still amazing if I’ve forgotten my mouse. The keyboard however is fantastic. I don’t need to buy a separate Bluetooth keyboard anymore! Haven’t had any connectivity issues between my iPad (using as Bluetooth keyboard) and the Mac thus far, the connector programme seems to work really well. I am so stoked with this app. I have to have my laptop elevated to eye level these days due to post-concussion syndrome so really needed to be able to operate it without having to lug a Bluetooth keyboard around with me. Can also operate using my iPhone. So pleased.
Handy app...
Can’t get it to pair up with amazon Prime though.... would love that!
Update Please
We’re on iOS 12 now, the interface is so dated, and doesn’t fit my X screen. Incredibly disappointed this app wasn’t kept up to date. Was awesome when it was first introduced.
Fantastique !
Pro, n'hésitez pas !
Rien de plus simple, intuitif, presque tous les applications utiles sous les doigts. Il serait pratique de pouvoir choisir les applications que l'on possède sur notre Mac et pouvoir l'ajouter dans Rowmote Pro.
N'oublier surtout pas d'installer la mise à jour (helper) sur votre Mac, car cela ne se fait pas tout seul, dommage, peut-être dans une mise à jour. Great work. Best regards.
App updates ASAP
Please update this app to be optimized with iPhone X . I update my apps everyday and I don’t recall seeing any updates since I installed.
Great app!
Not having to buy another mouse or remote makes this app the greatest thing.
So convenient!
So usefull
Perfect to manage all my MacBook Pro from anywhere in my appartment like change the music playing on my Bluetooth speaker without living my bath..
So far so good!
Off to a good start and the only thing I can think of so far is that it would be nice for the App to be able to ping the computer and wake it up. Right now I need to use a mouse or keyboard to do that. But I will keep looking for a solution. Otherwise it does everything as advertised. Really handy.
Amazing BUT..
AirPlay to Apple TV button doesn't show up on macOS Sierra with dual monitors.
Good
Nothing much to say other than it works..no issues here.
