USB Remote is highly appreciated by users who utilize the InputStick hardware for tasks like password entry and remote control, offering reliable functionality and useful features.

Many complaints arise from users not reading the description and misunderstanding the app's hardware dependencies, leading to unfair poor ratings.

- Includes a good amount of features and customization options, with API and plugin support (e.g., KeePass plugin).
- Useful for IT professionals and HTPC control, saving time in various tasks.

### Cons

- The app does not work via USB cable despite the name suggesting it does, leading to confusion and complaints about false advertising.
- UI is somewhat clunky, dated, and not very intuitive; users find the app hard to navigate without clear instructions.
- Many users who do not read the app description give low ratings, complaining about input method and hardware requirements.
