Control! Mac - Remote Control, File Browsing and Video Streaming for Macintosh App Reviews

In past, it was a usefull app, now need an update because nothing works properly !

Mesma rede wifi não acha mac...

Ist ne schöne Sache, wenn es den funktioniert! Leider stürzt es andauernd ab, und das Trackpad oder Remote hat bei mir auch keine Funktion! Das Programm XBMC lässt sich überhaupt nicht steuern, aber das ist wohl mein Einzelschicksal! Daher nur 2 Sterne! Is a beautiful thing when it works! Unfortunately, it crashes constantly, and the trackpad or remote has no function at me! The program XBMC can be controlled at all, but thats probably my single destiny! Therefore, only 2 stars!

Runs very smooth! All functions work as expected and the interface is clean and simple! Could use a text field entry, but it is still worth the price.

It works great. My only complaint (I think its important) you can open safari but cant write an adress because there is no text field. Other than that very good.

The remote works quite well but does not have keyboard input capability. It would seem like that would be simpler to accomplish than the mouse input, which is quite good. Its more like a remote view and launch app than a remote control app for that reason.

No keyboard and i cant wake my mac up eventho i followed every step of the help section

Very stable, easy to set up and has functionalities that arent in other softwares.

Macに接続できたり、できなかったり、不安定です。 運良く接続できても、アイコンをタップしても何も反応しないことがあります。 あとはFileBrowserの機能も不安定ですね。運良くファイルを開けることもありますが、 たいていの場合、アプリケーションごとフリーズして再起動を余儀なくされます。 UIのデザインは奇麗ですが、わかりにくい部分も多いです。 There is nothing that does not respond by tapping the icon. The instability features FileBrowser. Some files can be opened, In most cases, are forced to restart each application to freeze. UI design is beautiful, but the usability is bad.

Remote access from WAN does not work: open port on router, can’t find it! In addition, accessing from LAN, launch applications does not work. Contacted the customer’s support, they did not answer, not even after a week, not even for telling “sorry we can’t help”. The worse money I spent on iTunes. STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP AND FROM THIS COMPANY. Save your money for something better.

This looks like it could be a cool App. Unfortunately the server App would not run on my MacPro (10.5.8). I will upgrade my rating if they get it fixed and working properly.

I stumbled on this app while looking for a way to control my Mac Mini, which is working as a media center for my TV and Stereo. Control! looks like it could be perfect for this use, but the wi-fi server app keeps losing connection.

I cannot get the control server to load on my Mac so I cannot even establish a connection. Emailed them but no answer yet. :(. Im also running 10.5.8

I was very fortunate to get this app for free before it starting selling for $1.99 YEAH! Its hard to complain about stuff you get for free. Anyway, Ive been waiting for this app to come out of approval. It was worth the wait! It has a beautiful interface. The things you can do with it are amazing. It does have some issues staying connected at times but I expect the developers to correct that very soon with an update.

Set up iPhone and computers with pin connections and then no connection. It intermittently finds the computers on the home network. But most of the time it just continuously searches. Even when it does connect I cant tell what applications are open or closed. Kickstart worked well for me but its been replaced by something that doesnt function. Im sure the programmers mean well but it simply doesnt work.

OK… so theyve addressed a number of issues and its much more stable now. But Im still a little puzzled why a developer who has had a lot of success with Network Products would release such an immature product. Maybe this feedback is the only way they can get field testing, but getting such poor reviews doesnt really seem worth it. Mouse has improved, browsing network has improved… its at least usable now. However, I occasionally get kicked out when browsing files (actually its the server app that crashes); sometimes when I connect it decides to mount a number of dmg files in my download folder… no idea why; mouse improved, but I still cant find the right click gesture… must be there, because Ive done it by mistake… and I consider myself a power user; sometimes hangs when browsing files; remote control maybe a little too simple… it doesnt need to be fancy (big easy buttons please) but does need progress and full screen controls. Finally, the remote is almost unusable with VLC, hit forward or rewind and it gets lost in a loop, even if I disconnect the iphone! Its a shame this product was released without enough testing… a) because their iNet product is so good (and popular) and b) the design and concept seems really cool. I currently use a combination of Hippo Remote and iTap, but this interface seems that it would answer all of my needs. Given Banana Glues success with iNet and the great design of this app, I really hope some more updates will address this! But Im not if Ill try again!

Despite the bad reviews I really did want to give this app the benefit of the doubt, cas it would meet my exact needs. However its very disappointing simply cas it doesnt work. Problem seems to be with the server app on your Mac rather than the iPhone app. Says my system is sleeping when it clearly isnt, and this is on the local network never mind trying to get connectivity over the Internet. I hope BananaGlue sort this out asap, think I might ask for a refund. In the meantime Air Mouse will have to suffice.

What a scam

First time I ever felt compelled to complain about an app. Just sitting here waisting my life with my wife while we wait for controller to endlessly fast forward through movie we are trying to watch 2 hour movie we are on 25th hour of fast forward literally reads 25:24:21/2:00:035 and counting MacBook wont turn off or force quit worst problem I have ever had with my Mac in 4 years these people are dishonest garbage. Please dont waist your life on this app.

I love this app its great being able to control your computer I mean I can also stream a video and use it as a trackpad theres only very few problems and that that for iTunes it doesnt list the songs and it also has a problem with streaming iTunes movies to where it takes longer but overall I love this app
