It works flawlessy. Connects over MAC, iPhone and iPad. I just had to make sure to setup the Router right. They have instructions for that. A manual setup and a dedicated port worked much better in my case than the automatic connection attempts (screens connet). Never had problems since.

This really requires major networking skills to use successfully. I could only get it to work when both computers where on the same wireless network. It would not work once I brought my new macbook air to work and tried to connect with my older mac at home. This despite all of the very poor documentation that instructs you how to set up "manual port forwardIng". The developer relies on other supporter apps and 3rd party helpers that are quite useless. Total waste of the $29. Not ready for prime time developer. I would be happy to update this review if the developer can provide specific instructions on how to make this work and not send me to 3rd party website and helpers.
Oh dear! Another great app going 10.11+ as the minimum platform requirement. Too bad! Our ecosystem is still largely 10.9 and 10.10, so I need app support for those OS versions. I can understand if you are moving to Swift development and need 10.10+ for the minimum, but to jump from a 10.8 or 10.9 minimum to 10.11+ minimum may do your target audience a disservice. I for one won't be able to upgrade (which i would gladly pay to do)!
This utility ROCKS once you get it going!!!
Setup instructions need a little tweaking.
In the iOS app you NEED to click on
your computer name under "Discovered"
to connect.
Very easy but eluded me for
an embarrassing 45 mins.
Once connected things are incredibly
easy and well thought out.
Key modifiers (and lots more) are all displayed.
There is very little or nothing you
cannot do with your computer.
Thanks ... Ken
