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:

- 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.

Awesome

Serialninja on

Awesome app. Woks great on both iPhone and iPad

Together with Plex this is a great remote controller to use!

It works great.

Wow, I thought this was going to be another joke of an app. It proved me wrong. Interface was easy. Really fast and responsive. Although it supports many apps, about a 1/7 of them are just some apps that I don't really use. 4 stars! Buy it, recommended.

Keeps crashing

Just purchased and can’t get it to open on my iPad

Pro version well worth it

If you’re on your couch and don’t want to use keyboard and mouse, this baby’s the best. And who doesn’t have their phone on them?

Wasted Time

Totally erratic on my MacBook Pro. Volume control moved presentation to next slide. I removed app.

Amazing

There a lot of apps that try to do this, but this app actually works and is very easy to use. Well worth the $5.

Doesn’t work at all

astarfire on

United States

In spite of the fact that I installed the rownote helper and both my phone and Mac were on the same Wi-Fi network, the app never could see the Mac so I had to give up.

Is not working on the Apple TV

Carlos's1 on

United States

Do nat spend money in this useless app.

Cool idea

mavmaggie on

United States

Cool idea for an app- requires a software program on the Mac you use it with. But it’s clever and cool- definitely worth trying out.
