Reviews for TouchPad

It Works! Amazingly!

«This lil app exceeded my expectations by lightyears!  It was easy to connect, and I cannot discern any lag at all!  Very very cool and useful!  I was very skeptical at first, but this app really does do what it is advertised to do! Neat way to use your iPad as remote control!»

★★★★★

Great remote & keyboard app

«This app is easy to setup, and use. I enjoy the fact that you don't need a separate desktop "helper" application to use it. It's very responsive.»

★★★★★

Incredible

«For $3.99 you've just bought yourself an awesome wireless mouse and keyboard that don't need batteries replacing every few weeks. Use it while giving presentations too. Great application, pretty and functional. Going to be a must-use for me. :-)»

★★★★★

Really Cool

«This is a fantastic app, when I first used it I was blown away by how remarkably similar it was to using a real trackpad and is very easy to use. It's just a shame an iPhone screen isn't as nice to track on as a proper trackpad, but regardless it is perfect as a remote and I will definitely be using it in future.»

★★★★★

RC Badda-Bing!

«I can't believe the amount of money, and more importantly TIME I wasted on alternative remote control apps when all along this little diamond was buried in the trash heap of insubstantial glitz and glam. This little gem doesn't require a server or daemon to work and it sports a fair range of control elements positioned in all the right places. I can leverage all the important features of this remote with one hand. Finally, the badda-bing of iPhone remote control apps!»

★★★★★

Intuitive and Elegant

«With the ability to access the keyboard, the modifier keys, navigation keys, AND a built in Front Row remote, this version of Touchpad gets everything right. As an app that gets used on a regular basis this is worth far more than just a few dollars. Edovia hit a homerun.»
