Previously useful, now nonfunctional
This was previously useful, and I previously gave it 3 stars (because it had occasional failures to connect). However, now, because of changes in macOS and/or iOS, it is completely nonfunction.
Absolute joke!
This thing is an absolute joke! I am extremely tech savvy, and promise this doesn't work. Tried with iPad, followed directions exactly, turned on/off bluetooth on both devices, told not supported, using Ventura, iPadOS 16.2, Ventrilo 13.1, enabled Roseta did no good, rebooted both devices, no good, uninstalled/reinstalled no good, dev never responds when contacted. Terrible terrible app. Probably a fake. Coming from someone who's been doing this stuff for over 20 years.
Doesn't Work on MacOS 12.4
App no longer works since MacOS update to 12.4. Seems the app hasn't been updated in years. I'd like my $10 back please? :)
Not working
I pair my iPhone to my MacBook Pro M1 with the app open and then nothing happens. Tried rebooting and reconnecting everything several times to no avail. Should have checked the reviews first. The positive ones are many years old and the new ones are all negative. Thi app is probably not maintained. Not sure how it can stay ib the app store.
barely works
waste of money, not at all what i thought it was going to be. don't buy it. you can not use capital letters (both shift letter and caps lock do not work). you can not use the return button (either to send messages or move down to the next line). you have to type super super super slow for the letters to actually show up on your phone (if you type at a normal speed, it literally just doesn't work). i want my ten bucks back, please.
Great App - When It Worked
This app was extremely useful until it stopped working and support couldn't get it to work because when I try to connect my iPhone to the Mac, I get a Pairing Unsuccessful message.
