Ratings and Reviews
Very Handy
I'm an iOS developer and purchased this to test bluetooth communications between my mac and my iPhone to simulate a bluetooth pedalboard. It has turned out to be far more universally useful as I can use my mac's (wired) keyboard to type on my iPad and iPhone. Very reliable, nice UI and cheap enough to be a no-brainer.
One of my favorite Apps on my Mac!
It’s simply awesome! I am working at my desk on my Mac most of the day and can just reply to a text message or copy text from my Mac into a WhatsApp or Threema message…without even picking up my phone.
