## Review summary

Users praise Remote Mouse for convenient, on-device control of a Mac/PC from iPhone/iPad and value the free version, with a cheap Pro upgrade. Repeated drawbacks center on unreliable connections and features being tied to a subscription, causing frustration for those who expect consistent, paid-for functionality. Some also cite poor post‑purchase support and occasional update-related issues.

### Pros

- Very convenient to control a computer from an iPhone or iPad using mouse and trackpad features.
- Great for use from bed or couch as a backup input method when a keyboard isn’t available.
- Free version provides substantial functionality, with a reasonably affordable Pro upgrade that unlocks more features.
- When it connects, it provides a smooth remote-control experience for Mac/PC users.

### Cons

- Unreliable connectivity: frequent connection failures, spinning wheels, or intermittent performance across sessions.
- Reliance on subscription for core features: many capabilities feel locked behind a paid plan, leading to frustration for users who don’t want to subscribe.
- Reports of updates causing loss of previously purchased features and dissatisfaction with support handling.
