Air Mouse Pro is unsurpassed. I have many apps that can control my mac via iPhone, and none have come close to Air Mouse Pro. If you are wondering why you would want to control your Mac with your iPhone the answer is mainly because of usability, and ease of use. Instead of sitting over a computer to browse the web or talk to friends, you can sit back and use your thumb to control your Mac.
User interface:
I cant say enough about Air Mouse Pro, it gives you a top notch UI, with many different ways to control your Mac. There are 3 different menus that help you to control certain programs and they are:
- Function
- Web
- Media
Air Mouse Pro also comes with a landscape keyboard and touchpad (with multi-touch) to complement a widescreen display. From the buttons to the colors Air Mouse Pro is nothing shy of a masterpiece.
Features:
Air Mouse Pro is jam packed with features that complement the apps very low price of $2.99 (on sale now). Some of the features are:
- Accelerometer based mouse
- Trackpad (full screen vertical and landscape modes)
- Media keys & Web keys
- Application notifications – Remote keyboard with modifier, function and arrow keys
- Programable hotkeys (can be set to run a program or keyboard combination)
- Scroll pad
- Multitouch gestures (scroll & right click)
- Password protection
- Custom sensitivity settings
- Foreign language keyboards
- Supports Bonjour or static IP
- No screen size limitation. Works with multiple monitors.
- Landsacpe Keyboard
Does it work?
There are 2 different ways to use Air Mouse Pro, you can control your Mac by moving the iPhone just like you would using a laser pointer or you can use the touchpad. In our tests the “laser Pointer” method did not work as hoped. It was very slow and overall not up to par. The trackpad on the other hand worked exquisitely. I used it for a few hours as a result of it working so well. The features are great, the “laser pointing” method could use some work, but it still remains a first-class app.
Conclusion:
Air Mouse Pro is without doubt the best Mac controlling app around. There is only one feature that is needed to be improved upon and that is the “laser pointing” control. I completely recommend this app to everyone. The price of this app is outstanding and it fully deserves the 4.5/5 I am awarding it.
