Dont bother

Cant run presentations longer than 15 slides with the trial version and it crashes.

Too much hassle

Failed to work on 2 different occasions, never got it to connect, crashed.

Failed to connect-0 stars

iPhone 4 (iOS 5) to macbook pro (snow leopard), failed to connect. Would have been great for this super simple 12 slide presentation. Too bad.

Just really bad overall

Takes 20 minutes to understand and set up, and you need to work on both your handheld and desktop/laptop which you cant always do. Some wireless networks (such as in schools or offices) wont allow bypassing the firewalls. You have to close and open the ppt every time through the program. Slow and complex, works half the times. Overall just a really bad product for an amazing idea. Get it together guys!

It is pure horror

Gross! This product stinks! Its not worth it!

Excellent app

This app saved my tail today in a presentation. Setup takes a few minutes but isnt difficult, just dont wait to do it until 2 minutes before your presentation. Also, if you have an Airport Express, you can create a network anywhere so no needing to find a network to join. Stinks that the free only does 15 slides but the upgraded version is SO expensive. I ended up advancing my last 3 slides on my own rather than pay the 10 bucks. However, if you regularly make presentations and like to walk around, it is probably worth the money. Favorite thing was that I could view the speakers notes on my phone while walking around and speaking and clicking through the slides. Made for a seamless presentation.

It works!

Works just as stated. Takes a little time to set up especially if you are using an ad hoc connection. Worked well after that. Love having my notes on my phone!

Works like a dream

This has to be one of the easiest installs ever. App works perfectly. Youre not tethered to your laptop anymore!

FANTASTIC!!!

This app is easy to install on both systems (laptop & iPhone) and very easy to use. Really fantastic for a FREE app - thanks!!!!

good with office

good app, but first you need install the i-clickr on your mac or pc!!!… then the devices automatically connect. it works good with office, but on keynote you cant see the slides… the bad in office (keynote too) is the limit of slides in the free version…

Tremendous

This is a superb app that takes power point presentations to a higher level. I had some initial problems in some areas. Ray contacted me immediately following my request for help and has been absolutely outstanding in helping me. This is what customer service is supposed to be!!!!!!!!! Great job !!!!

What is this???

I have no clue what to connect my iPad to, and Im just confused! Dont get this app!!!

Works OK - Unable to see next slide on I/Pad - Perfect on I/Phone

I tried mbPointerHD and this program. This program works well but does have a crash issue in the settings on the I/Pad. I did not have any crashes while testing it out on a few powerpoint presentations. Others may be experiencing crashes which may be due to certain slide animations, but it did crashed every time I pressed the help button in the settings on the I/Pad. mbPointerHD - basic program with no special features. This one is much better between the two. Pros: 1. Actually this is a a great thing. The ability to see the notes on the slides without having carry around a printout of the slide notes. I cannot say enough of how great the slide view with the notes on my screen. 2. The ability to annotate on the slide on the screen on the I/Pad. 3. WORKS PERFECT on the I/Phone (you have to select the notes or slide - you cannot see both on the I/Phone) 4. You can see the upcoming slide on the I/Phone 5. So sluggishness on the I/Phone. Cons: 1. Sluggish response - the slide would show from one to two seconds before the slide changes on the I/Pad. 2. The settings indicated that the next slide would show, but I could not get this to work properly. It would only show the current slide. 3. Free version only allows 15 slides to show 4. Free version does not allow you to switch shows while app is open 5. iClickr makes the user select the slideshow on the host computer first, not too big of an issue Bottom line: I would recommend this for short and easy presentations right out of the gate. I would completely test it on any professional presentation a few times before actually presenting with it. The slide notes view is great. I may step up and try the paid version and see if that performs any better. $10.00 for an app is a little high priced given the price range for most apps. For $10, it had better work great, but based on prior version reviews, I am hesitant. If it was $4 or $5, no hesitation. $10.00 with the reviews as they are for previous versions - worries me.

Malicious app

I installed this app on my iPhone and the matching required app on my MacBook. It messed up my entire system, including bonjour, and then was nearly impossible to get rid of. I cant believe this even made it into the App Store.

Complete ripoff. Do not buy

Lost my pointer in the way to work, with a presentation due in an hour. First thought: buy an app pointer and youll be fine. Foolishly hurried, didnt read the reviews. Its not a remote device that can be used with your Mac. It has to be connected to your presentation device which defeated my point. For 15.00 dollars, you can do better, much better....

No Libre for Mac

Works swell with a PDF on a Mac. I wish it worked with Libre for Mac. Seems like it will soon since it reads that it supports OpenOffice for Windows and Keynote for Mac.

Error!! DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!

When I bought this, I thought that it would be like on Microsoft where you could just start but No!!! It has all of this other stuff that you HAVE to read or else it Wont work. And that was just when I opened it!!!! And Ive made power points before and Im just 11!!!

Bad

Need to enter IP address etc Not user friendly

Lag time

Good concept, unacceptable 5 second lag time when advancing slides using ipad2. Software runs slow and is a little glitchy.

Lame

Way too complicated for busy presenters and you have to pay if you have over 15 slides. Ya right.
