Always thought these apps were poop but this one is pleasantly surprising. Worth the price for the mouse control alone imo. (not laggy or unresponsive like previous apps i've tried)

I jumped into this too soon without reading its' capabilities - I was hoping it might work with android devices (i.e. via wifi, like the official Kore kodi remote), but with a more customisable "remote". Oh well, it was only 10p !

MaximusRo

14 Apr 16 #126

Thanks. Tried this on my laptop (Lenovo T420) with my G4, but when using the phone as a mouse/keyboard, the laptop's own trackpad is disabled!

That kills it for me, really. Teamviewer lets everything working

Another issue was that I could not get out of the app on the phone, had to restart it!

Anyone else noticed these issues?

Perfect timing to compliment my new Smartwatch 3 as the app is android wear enabled :smiley:

You can do some fun stuff with this, i had Tasker and this running last year.

Whenever my phone connected ti my home wifi, so when i get home, it would turn the PC on and a few other tasks.

You don't technically need the PC software installed to use a few of the remotes, wake on lan etc.

timbo995

13 Apr 16 #118

Good price. I wouldn't use it myself though. I don't like the idea of installing software that allows an external device to control my pc. It just seems like adding a potential weakness to the security that could be compromised at a later date.

Brilliant app for 10p. I use Kodi a lot on my PC, and its a pain to have to use the keyboard or mouse from the bed to control the damn thing... now I can use this app on my phone and it works flawlessly. It even has kodi remotes which is perfect! Thanks again!

13 Apr 16 #102

Ideal - nice one. Had been looking for a hardware remote keyboard for Kodi setup and maintenance (I run in Windows), but this will do perfectly, and for a fraction of the price - especially great for closing that infuriating Apple Update pop-up which always comes up over whatever I'm watching at the time.

Compared to Teamviewer, how is this better? Bought it, but not tried it

Pasanda to MaximusRo

13 Apr 16 1 #99

I've bought it and tried it, and have been using teamviewer for a couple of years now. Whilst I haven't work through it in earnest now, teamviewer is designed for remote controlling another PC, where this seems to be more geared up for transmitting remote pc content to your screen. Watching films and listening to music is not what teamviewer is geared up for and the experience is usually horrible - especially high res a&v films.

Many people use a server for hosting content, not playing. Those servers are often rubbish at playing content (mine certainly is), and I use clients around the house do the playing. So if I connect this app to the server, which is always on, I am transmitting content playing on a rubbish computer, and it will play rubbish. If I transmit content from, say my main HTPC, it will look great, but I now also need to keep my HTPC on all the time, as well as my server. Whilst this may well work for many who don't run things like this, client/server is a very popular infrastructure for home media these days.

It feels a lot like the last major version of teamviewer, before they changed the mouse navigation method.

I won't be using the remote media play functions, as I use plex everywhere. So it's unlikely i'll be making much use of this app, unless I'm missing something else. But, it's only 10p wasted, so I went in with eyes open.

What is server and how do I enter it on my phone.?

Markgranto to sexysam

13 Apr 16 #98

you install the server version on the device (pc, mac etc) you want the app to control. App goes on your phone and you can then control the device you have the server running on.

13 Apr 16 3 #85

Not a stupid question, it's just that you've not hit a situation where it's useful. When I'm cooking I put podcasts on all the time but sometimes a kettle might get really loud, or some chopping get frenzied and the you need to rewind - walk all the way to the computer to jump it back a bit - NO! Just hit the -5s button a few times on Winamp and you're back in the room. And you can change the PC volume straight from the phone you're already running your cooking timers on. And you can use the screen to act like a laptop touchpad to control stuff from your phone. I always used to use an xbox pad with xpadder but this is a brilliant alternative. If you need to do anything where you can't just reach out to your pc in a couple of seconds this is great. If you've got an old laptop linked up as a kodi box then this lets you control it from the setee or bed. And this is all after one day of using this where I've been using an xbox pad and really nifty xpadder skilllllzzzz! It's good.

High five, brah!

Robbo11

13 Apr 16 1 #84

Bought thanks. Funnily enough, I also only downloaded the free version a couple of days ago to try out and although it worked well, too many functions were only available with the full version so the timing of this offer was perfect for me too. Only really tested fully with Kodi so far but it works well once you have added it to your list of 'remote' apps. You can launch and control it totally via the app remote screen on your phone if you are close enough to see the computer display. If not close enough or in another room, you can always just use the interactive 'monitor view' feature to mirror the screen of any computer connected to your Wi-Fi network that has unified remote installed on it though I will probably stick to using teamviewer for that as I am more used to it.

clayts

13 Apr 16 1 #79

No use for this right now but I'm a firm believer in future proofing, so for 10p it's a no-brainer for something I will probably never use. Thanks ! (still working my way through a £10 Google play credit I got yonks ago for buying Chromecast - that's another 10p gone off the balance !)

danielUK84

13 Apr 16 #78

Im not sure what people are using it for either, i think its for people who use pc to tv streaming services, you would use wifi. i dont even own a tv so im guessing its useless to me.

restyler

12 Apr 16 #74

At the risk of getting a torrent of abuse for what must be a really stupid question ...
So it turns your phone into a (bluetooth?) remote control, from which I can control the PC (which I just happen to be sitting next to anyway) - so what advantage does pressing a virtual button on the phone have over pressing a real button on the keyboard? ... and do you also therefore have to get some kind of usb bluetooth dongle to make it work?

There - Told you it was going to be a stupid question !!

Meshen

12 Apr 16 1 #63

I paid for the full version on Android for £2.00 and ended up asking for (and receiving) a refund. It's barely any different to the free version, most of the different remotes are just reskins of the generic media remote which don't really offer much functionality anyway. For 10p, however, you can't go wrong.

gazdoubleu to Stevie Badman

12 Apr 16 #48

Probably not this is one of their FAQ's "Can I control another Android or iOS device from my phone?

At the moment we do not support controlling another Android or iOS device from your phone. That is however a feature that we are currently working on and hope to release in the near future"

xchaotic

12 Apr 16 #44

The price is right, but how can bridge it to actually use it as a remote?
My TV, amp, etc are all IR based.
Is there a device to translate?

cal98nufc to xchaotic

12 Apr 16 #45

Some phones include an IR blaster, not many phones have them though.

You can buy an IRDroid that attaches an IR blaster but it's a lot of effort.

It is excellent and even has a Teamviewer/VNC/Jump screen sharing capability built in now.

Equally, remote Mouse control is great when only 10 feet away...

Have the paid full version for iOS - use it to control HTPC which is located in a different room.

Wake On Lan which is 90% of my need is hit and miss with UR, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Majority of hardware (tvs, avrs etc.) have native apps to support the control of equipment so I wouldn't recommend based on this....but for £0.10 can't really go wrong, ymmv.
