Mouse moves, but clicking doesn't do anything. I can't tell if button presses are working. This free version didn't give enough functionality to test if the paid version is worth it. If I knew that mouse clicks and key presses worked, ten I would pay for the full version.

Does just what it says. You need to buy the premium version for screen mirroring and using keyboard shortcuts, etc, but it didn't bother me. I needed it just to control the mouse and to use search functions (YouTube, etc.) and it worked right away. Very simple and intuitive.

(FREE VERSION) if only you could select to drag files or windows easier .. currently you must tap twice and hold to move files etc around... it's beyond frustrating ever with any consistency to pull this off. you'll find more often then not the cursor slightly moves during this two tap and hold. a stylus helps but it's still annoying such a good app loses so much functionality over an issue overlooked
