Interface broken
Connects easily, but iPhone interface completely misaligned onscreen and broken. Half the buttons dont work and menu is inaccessible. Clearly hasn't been updated for newer phones. Useless.

Description
Rowmote lets you seamlessly control audio, video, and presentation applications on your Mac from your iOS device.
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. Buying a remote control, from Apple or a third party, would carry a significant cost!
You carry your iPhone or iPod Touch 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! Rowmote is like your Mac’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! By tapping the Apps button, you get bonus abilities, switching between controlled programs, toggling the iTunes Visualizer, and more. Rowmote will even wake sleeping Macs.
FEATURES
- Control your Mac over a wireless network. No line of sight necessary.
- Functions just like the hardware Apple Remote Control in:
• Adobe Lightroom
• Airfoil Video
• Amarra
• Aperture
• BBC iPlayer
• Beamer

• Plex, Plex Home Theater, & Plex Media Player
• Quicktime
• Rdio
• Safari

• The Tube
• VLC
• xbmc (Xbox Media Center)
- SWITCH: Access your Mac’s Dock, launching & switch between all controllable applications on the Mac, toggle the iTunes visualizer, and more. Order & display customizable.
- Click-and-hold works just like on the physical remote in applications; for example, holding the right button fast-forwards, while a single click is ‘next’. This is a feature no other iPhone remote control I know of does properly!
- Sleep on demand; wake the Mac automatically
- Pause the music or video automatically when you answer a call on your iPhone
- Proximity sensor support to automatically turn the screen off if the device is face-down
- Secure authentication
- Optional dark interface
- Connect via WiFi or Bluetooth (Bluetooth requires Personal Hotspot Bluetooth tethering)
REQUIREMENTS
• Mac OS X 10.4.0 or later.
• Mac: The free Rowmote Helper program must be running on the Mac to be controlled. Download at www.rowmote.com. Some features require later versions of Mac OS X.
Rowmote is a steal! Couple it with Apple’s free Remote app to turn your iPhone or iPod Touch into the ultimate controller for home stereo, mobile presentation, or casual video viewing.

Do not recommend
App in desperate need of updating, DO NOT PAY FOR THIS.
Disappointing
I paid for the app. I have tried to use it several times during a presentation and it does not seem to work if I am projecting through HDMI. When I remove the HDMI cable it works. Not much use when most projection is done through HDMI.
I use it all the time
I have a new iMac and found that the apple remote no longer works with eyeTV. Downloaded Rowmote which does everything I need.
Love this!
Works wonderfully and is easy to use.
essential
Get it and it's better for wifi reception when Bluetooth blocks signal
Only app I've ever intentionally reviewed
This is the best free app I've ever used, perfect for lazy people like me!!!!! iPhone becomes your trackpad/keyboard and works perfectly!!! Thanks rowmote! (The name is dumb though)
Bright Future
This is a brilliant idea. The integration of infinite applications is fantastic. I bought it mainly for Eye TV. I'm surprised that there aren't more apps like this. Really dumb name. Not that user friendly either. A little design work would make this just about perfect. The pro version turns your iPhone/iPad into a wireless trackpad (which I already had). Takes some getting used to.
Seamless design and Intuitive function
Connects instantly with my iMac. Very happy customer.
Very well made
Rowmote is rock solid and nails the central quality of a good remote : thoughtful UI. simplicity up front, depth of features one layer in, tight integration, low latency... This provides a seamless experience when controlling a MacBook with an iPhone. If you have a use for it I highly recommend this utility. Great software.
