Rowmote Pro

Everything worked wonderfully until this update! The keyboard is the biggest issue… I go to type on the Rowmote Pro app while working in Microsoft Word on my iMac, but what I type does not show up correctly on my computer. The text bar you have at the top of the Rowmote keyboard seems to take precedence over what I actually want to have show up on my computer and it’s not always what I type. When I hit delete so I can backspace, it deletes more than one letter at a time. if I want to hit “command” M to minimize my window, nothing works… It’s the same for any “command” function I try to do. This app was CRUCIAL to me being efficient as a quadriplegic and now it doesn’t work… WHY did you change it when it was working fine?! PLEASE go back to the previous version until you have all the bugs worked out!

Finally a much needed update has arrived, especially for the new iPhones. Even though there is still an issue with fn functions not properly displaying in landscape mode. Hopefully a fix will come sooner then later.

Will have to get used to the new UI layout of this app. After many years of using this app, I miss the old UI layout which I still think was very good, but at least, this app is still back up and working with my old iMac! Thanks for the update and fix!

Been a long time user, and fan of Rowmote. What puts it over the edge for me though, copy paste?! That said, I'm not sure how secure it is to use this over a network - but it's a daily part of my life for sure.

This app never fails me. Just migrated to a new Mac Studio and this gem keeps shining. Thank you!

I’ve been using rowmote for many years and it’s never worked quite as it should, I just updated to 4.2.4 and finally it’s working as it should… That is until I restarted my computer, at which point it’s back to its jerky movements old self… oh well maybe the next step date or fix it…. Regardless, still a great app…

I’ve been using this app since getting my first Mac in 2014. Everything from multitouch controls, to app launching, media remote, and pinch-to-magnify makes this app a must-have for anyone owning a Mac. For the past several years, this app lost the critical functionality to move the magnified screen around via dragging the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen. Suddenly after a Rowmote Helper update, that functionality is restored, and I am over the moon to have the full, robust Rowmote back again after so long. Does this app need additional updates? Sure. It’s still not optimized for FaceID phones, and hasn’t seen an iPhone app update for years now. The promise of a “Rowmote 2” by the creator in 2016 ended in radio silence. Still, I love the app for all its benefits and it’s helped me on many late night, bedtime YouTube nights.

Love this app, does exactly what I want. When I’m too lazy to go over to my computer I can remotely sleep it. I can move the mouse. I can control the volume... it’s just works the way I want it to. A few times I’ve had connection problems but that’s been less than 10% of the time.

Once upon a time this was the best remote control on the App Store. Simple and sleek in its design, it allowed you to easily control your Apple devices… Now there are a lot of connection issues and sometimes even if your computer is in range it says that it’s unavailable. The troubleshooting help on the website is a very little help, but if you email the support team they do get back to you relatively quickly. I would say the fact that they don’t bother to update the information in the App Store, compatible applications, or the design of the app says a lot. I don’t know if this app is on its way out, but that’s what it feels like nowadays.

With the update to Big Sur came the Airplay feature no longer being executed. When I try any airplay feature with Rowmote pro and the latest helper update none of the actions work. Please let me know if I can fix this on my own or if it is a known bug being addressed. Thanks for the terrific app. Been using it for years.
