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

• Decibel
• DVD Player
• Ecoute

• Plex, Plex Home Theater, & Plex Media Player
• Quicktime
• Rdio
• Safari
• Skim
• Songbird
• Spotify
• Squire
• 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.

Rowmote Reviews
Not worth the money.
I had purchased this app to see my photos mirrored on my TV screen. It’s fine for increasing-decreasing volume stop and starting a video but that’s about it.But I couldn’t use the Rowmote to change, to the ‘next’ photo on TV screen, which is so basic but unavailable. I’ve had help from a techie friend and he agrees that this option is NOT available. I would like my money back as I haven’t used this app as it didn’t really work.
Needs updating IOS13.2 issues.
This is worked really well until IOS13.2. Now if I tip phone to landscape or hit settings button the app quits. So I can’t use phone as a trackpad which is annoying. Please update to fix bugs.
iPhone XR interface not working
Just to note that the interface on the iPhone now only works to volume and is elongated. I presume there will be an update to make it work again. To in advance team
Rubbish
Does not work, I have four macs didn't find any of them, waste of money!
Was brilliant now HUGE RIP OFF!!!!!
Paid for pro version & had mouse control from my iPhone. Then they brought out an additional pro version & now in order to get mouse on my iPhone again I need to pay for upgrade!!!! NNnnnoooo!!!! WORST APP SELLER & HUGE RIP OFF!!!! 😁😁😁

Big disappointment volume jumps in crude 5dB jumps had hoped it would be more precise than Apple remote app sadly not will be of no use to me,there is definitely a market for a precise remote control of volume of iTunes.
Works
It works like it says it does
Excellent - it just works
All you'd want in a remote control app
Superb. 😃👍🏼👍🏼 📱🆒💻
Does its job smoothly and reliably. Very good app. Try it and you'll see you won't need to get up off the couch just to change a tune or rewind your movie.
