Pros and cons of TouchPad app for iPhone and iPad

TouchPad app good for

How can i copy text on my phone and paste it to the client Browser?

Well designed user interface: clean, simple. Very good addition for people using standard desktop Macs without a trackpad.

Great app, but I wish there was some way the app could wake up my MacBook Pro from clamshell mode.

This program is pretty amazing. Very easy to set up and use on my 13" MBP. Well done.

I am using the app to write this review. It works. Plain and simple. I can get the keyboard and mouse off the coffee table when I connect my Macbook to my LCD TV.

Functionality is great, but it might be nice to be able to use the remote mode to navigate through folders and icons in Finder.

Some bad moments

The app is great when connected to the MacBook, Ill give you that! The only thing is that it cant connect to it! It works the first time, and then, no way to connect to anything! The only workaround I found is to restart my iPhone each time... Very convenient ;) Big disappointment!

Put back the dark theme with light detection and Ill put back 5 stars ;)

App cant be used since update: No connection to computers possible: no autodiscover, manual connections are not saved Keyboard cannot be hidden Uninstall/reinstall didnt help -> New version has killed a previously very useful app

I bought TouchPad to control my Macmini where I have several iTunes libraries installed. To select a library one shall keep the Option key pressed while clicking on the iTunes icon. Well, TouchPad does not support this action reliably, it fails > 90% of the times. Very annoying, to be kind.

Good concept but it does not execute well. I had difficulty setting up as it would not immediately find my computer but worse once it did work the mouse activity was sporadic and choppy. Ill be sticking with rowmote which works just fine on the same network. Refund would be nice....

Scrolling and tracking very jumpy with iPad. Keyboard feature is useless - displays a blank grey space instead of the keyboard, and wont slide away once triggered. $5 is way too much for this in the state its in. Shame. I want my money back.

Usually TouchPad iOS app used & searched for

wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, and other. So, download free TouchPad .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
