User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Works well
Works well. Using to control RetroPie from phone. Would appreciate ability to increase size of the activation icon for the special characters (it's difficult to press the small icon in upper left corner) and also ability to rescale those special characters when activated (primarily the arrow keys). Thanks for app.
★★★★★Bravissimo! Perfect!!!
Not only does it work perfectly, but the support is wonderful - my questions were answered in no time.
You can use the app anywhere; just make your iPhone a hotspot and connect the RPi. It's the ideal solution for me, since I'll need to access my RPi on the go.
I was actually shocked with how well it works - no latency, connection issues or anything. Bravissimo!!!
★★★☆☆Interesting
Sometimes it kinda does disconnect for a brief period but it's rare. Needed a keyboard better than one cheap garbage one I bought a while ago so this helps. Only made for if you're gonna need to visit websites or stuff like that. Not so much to write papers. (I mean you could but I wouldn't recommend so.. lol) Wish this was made to be connected via Bluetooth though 😅. Also, better keyboard maybe. All in all it's a decent keyboard for decent things.
★★★★★Works great with my MagicMirror
Setup was super simple and it worked with my magic mirror running raspbian stretch flawlessly.
Only suggestion I have is to add scrolling (two finger drag on touch screen?). Other than that, it’s really great.
★★★☆☆iPhone X Support missing
Would be really nice to have it updated to support the iPhone X screen.
