Description

Rowmote Pro is the ultimate wireless remote, trackpad, and keyboard for Mac. A gorgeous universal app for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, with everything from a multitouch trackpad to full extended keyboard support, and with no-configuration control of dozens of the best Mac applications, it is a must-have for any home media center or presentation!

* Rated "Excellent" and one of just 400 apps featured in the WIRED App Guide 2011 *

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. The Apple Remote would cost a significant amount. Add ANOTHER hit to your wallet for a wireless control like a keyboard, mouse, or the Apple Magic Trackpad!

You carry your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad 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 Pro! Rowmote Pro is like your Mac’s remote control, but over the wireless network and even better! Trackpad and keyboard give you complete control over your computer, and you can control, launch, and quit apps, toggle the Music Visualizer, and more without ever having to squint at your screen. Rowmote is Mac-like from the ground up.

Awesome

I have tried several remote apps for the iPhone. What I wanted was the iPhone equivalent of the Apple IR Remote. I wanted to be able to control several applications that accept the Apple Remote for input. Unfortunately all the applications I tried only emulated the Apple Remote using keystrokes. That would not do, as it would mean setting up each app with shortcuts to match the remote app. Then I took a chance with Rowmote, and I am so glad I did, it is perfect, It does exactly what I want! It emulates the Apple Remote! This makes my life easier, I don't have to fiddle around changing shortcut keys on apps that have Apple Remote support built in. It has the ability to launch these applications and do a few other time saving things also, and as a plus, with the pro version, you get a trackpad and keyboard. It's a fantastic application and in my humble opinion it is worth every penny.

Great app

Does exactly what it says it will. I can leave my MacBook Pro upstairs and use this app from the sittingroom to AirPlay what's on my computer to my Apple TV. Controls a range of programs, simple interface, keyboard has every button my mac has and more. Highly recommend this app. Totally worth it.
