Something off?
Report an issueTurn your iPhone or iPad into a pointer and controller for PowerPoint or Keynote presentations. Has 'Next Slide' and 'Previous Slide' controls, and can show notes from presentations on the iPhone display along with a timer. Pointer icon can easily by replaced by any image, which could be used for humorous purposes. Touch the screen to show the pointer - which is controlled either by dragging your finger around the screen (easy) or by orientation (takes a little practice) - your choice.
Requirements: Computer running Mac OS X 10.7 or higher, WiFi connection (on the same local network or by creating a computer-to-computer network), and PowerPoint or Keynote (choose the program on the back side of the App). Please note that this app cannot control an iPad Keynote presentation.
A small Mac application, PointerServer, must be downloaded to your computer and started whenever Pointer is used. This program is available for free at: http://www.zentropysoftware.com/ZS/Pointer_files/PointerServer3.zip
Please note that the presentation runs on your computer, not directly from the iPhone or iPad. Instead the iPhone/iPad controls the computer.

8 of 25Wish I had read the reviews. This doesn't work. Their claims need to be accompanied by all the things you need to do for it to possibly work. And also,y computer said the developer was questionable. Is there a refund process. This was a rip-off.
Better off with the keynote remote in terms of functionality.
While it was easy to pair my computer and iPhone, when you actually try to control the presentations, the application constantly freezes up. Never got it to work!
This function is built in the Keynote 6.2
This program does not work. Don't waste your money!
I got everything ready to start but the app is unresponsive so I can't do it
Does not work. Product apparently not updated with Apple updates over the years. I write this in November 2014. Note other comments go back several years. No response from support. I tried with MacBook Pro and iPhone 5
Would not work. Waste of money
