iKeyboardRemote App Reviews

but kinda hope more control buttons such as Repeat, Shuffle to be added

...but wish it did more.

Nest step: Enable us to use our wired keyboard as a keyboard for the iPhone...

Not much going on here, the slide show doesnt work for iPhone? Wish there were other features. How about seeing what you are doing on the mac? Im I missing something?

This is a great app, just wish it did the following: - Ability to send / type on the screen. That way, we could send SMS without having to use the Iphone Keyboard. Thanks in advance!

Ok, It might not have THAT many cool things but hey, its pretty sick controlling your iPhone with your mac keyboard! and it does it well! idk why when I hit the "song album cover" for the iPhone, it shows me my photos and also locks my screen but w.e lol Also when my iPhone is already locked and I click the lock button, it kinda turns on and turns off right away.. it would be cool if it turned it back on so i could put in my password. Just saying! but its awesome! Cant wait for more features and updates! Thanks! OH and btw, can you make it (or find a way) where you can set the FN + F keys to work anywhere? like from any app and not have to have the app selected (idc about having the app open).. idk if that is possible.. ok too long bye

works well, hopefully well get a advanced version soon which will control the entire screen for iPad!

if i could use the keyboard from my mac, this would worth 5 stars. also, when i connect it to my iphone, the native iphone wont pop up, so i cant type anything with my phone is connecting to the remote. hope developers fix this.

Basically, it connect well and is on the right track. BUT I cant use my computers keyboard to type on my phone. (strangely the on-screen keyboard dissapears as if there is a physical keyboard connect, but no typing functions work. When I am actually able to use my laptops keyboard to type on my iPone / iPad Ill use this app A LOT.

Really nice app, works in no time. Would be better if it connected over wifi i rarely use bluetooth and it would be cool if you could see the phone screen on the computer.. keep up the good work

I was excited when I saw this app but that left after several attmepts to get it to connect. Glad it was free.

Am I correct in assuming this only works if one is using a BT keyboard? I cannot successfully pair my MacBook to my iPhone. Oh well. You get what you pay for.

It was a bit fiddly to get working (Snow Leopard, 3GS 4.2.1) but it does what it says it does and that makes me happy. Now, if I could connect this app to my AppleTV, Id be over the moon! Other Feature Requests: WiFi, as BT eats battery. A drawer for the Disconnect/Pair/Quit buttons.

It literally took me less than a minute to pair, connect, and start controlling my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

I cannot write emails, texts etc. WHILE Im connected. If I turn off my bluetooth the keyboard comes back…Besides that it gets the job done.

I love this app. It is great for my office and I think it would be good for a Kiosk in the outer office for the waiting room.

Nice free app. I had some trouble paring at first (had to reboot my iPhone to fix). Now I can have my iPhone plugged into speakers across the room while I control the tracks from my Mac while working. Its great for travel in hotel rooms that have iPhone clock radios. My main suggestion would be to have more keyboard control of the app, even when its in the background. Id like the ability to use keystrokes to change tracks without having to bring the application to the foreground. On my Mac I can use the fkeys to control iTunes from any app, but to do the same for this app I have to switch to the app first.

After I tried a few times, I was going to delete as I read from the other comments. But I got it to pair. Make sure bluetooth is active on iphone and MacBook. Under iphone settings make sure you are paired with the MacBook otherwise it will not work.

I dont know if its just my computer or my phone but they wont pair in the app. They pair over bluetooth but it wont pair on the app. When I first saw this app, I thought it would be great, but it doesnt work.

The app works really well and its easy to pair (you have to know how to actually pair - go into your bluetooth settings AND hit pair on the app) but you can only play songs on shuffle -- no playlists or manually browsing your library, which is a shame. Since its the only app that even allows you to control your phone from you mac, I give it a four.
