## Rowmote 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
• Boxee
• Decibel
• DVD Player
• Ecoute
• eyeTV 3.x
• Firefox
• Front Row
• Hulu Desktop
• iPhoto
• iTunes
• Keynote ‘08 & later
• kJams Pro
• Kodi
• Last.fm
• Logic
• Microsoft Powerpoint ‘04 & later
• mPlayer
• Movist
• OpenOffice Impress
• Preview
• PandoraBoy
• PandoraJam
• PandoraOne Desktop
• Photos
• 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 in United States

### *---- "Keeps crashing"
Just purchased and can’t get it to open on my iPad
-- geliquey, 2022-12-06

### ***** "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?
-- realdantaniel, 2022-07-10

### *---- "Wasted Time"
Totally erratic on my MacBook Pro. Volume control moved presentation to next slide. I removed app.
-- Boss~Hogg, 2021-03-06

### ***** "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.
-- statsruss, 2020-07-28

### *---- "Doesn’t work at all"
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.
-- astarfire, 2019-10-22

### *---- "Is not working on the Apple TV"
Do nat spend money in this useless app.
-- Carlos's1, 2019-05-31

### ***** "Cool idea"
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.
-- mavmaggie, 2019-04-04

### ***** "Good app, has minor glitches"
I upgraded to pro within the app, it has some glitches like i can only control my computer volume only when i open chrome or an app it can control from the dashboard, volume buttons used to work well to control the volume so no need to use app interface, that seems not to work in this update, i used to have an issue where it would loose connection/not find my mac, thats good now... i bought app when came out for a 1$ not the price it is today hence why im ok with the issues and quite satisfied.
-- Malco_h, 2018-12-27

### ***** "Helps me be lazy"
I purchased this app to control DVD playback from my Mac when connected to my TV. Now I can just stay on the couch and have full control of playback and volume, similar to the Apple TV remote app I use all the time.
-- TheSalmon9, 2018-04-01

### *---- "Yo what the F?"
This requires my Apple TV to download software which it cannot, rendering it useless. Thanks for stealing $1 from me, ya jerks.
-- Grandpalexis, 2018-01-28

### *---- "Doesn't work"
No even with wifi in both devices worked for me. IP address is not recognized automatically. I tried several times introducing IP address manually, not even like that works.
-- puchunguis2007, 2017-12-14

### ***** "Remote control app"
The remote is great the only thing that would make it perfect is to have the ability to rewind just parts of what you are listening too instead of rewinding the entire thing. Is that possible? Add a rewind slider button? 👍☺️👍
-- Renaudio, 2017-11-10

### *---- "Not for Apple TV"
Pictures imply that it can be used with computer or Apple TV. This is not the case at least for the .99 version.
-- Wants to keep cse.., 2017-10-27

### *---- "Terrible App"
Don't buy it. It's not even worth the $0.99. Stupid app won't even connect to my Apple TV which is THE ONLY reason I bought it. You shouldn't advertise you can get it to work with a device if it doesn't work. Bunch of crooks.
-- bigmossimo, 2017-08-30

### ***** "Simple, easy, perfect"
So far everything works fine with my macbook pro and my mac pro. Very useful for iTunes.
-- Axel Morken, 2017-08-10

### ***** "very good"
it's very useful
-- Lovita jr..., 2017-07-29

### ***** "Would be great to have"
Would be great to have a lock screen widget
-- Outragеd, 2017-07-28

### ****- "Does what it says it does"
As simple as that.   Oh, and it's free.
-- riverojavier, 2017-07-28

### ***** "Great app"
This was first recommended to me a few years ago by an Apple Store employee. Since then, I've used it daily to control my HTPC (mac + tv).

I love this app.
-- crc0122, 2017-07-24

### *---- "Not even one star"
Complete failure
-- appleGuy18, 2017-07-14
