8 of 25apple should take this app off
Will not connect to MacBook Pro just keeps saying its searching!!! Want my money back!!!
no tutorial how to connect
Invaluable for getting a lot of data entered quickly and rapidly. Pro tool for people with billable work to get done.
The app is paired properly from iPhone and iPad, but does not assign note values in Simple Entry. Arrow keys work, Enter works, and I can use the numeric keys for Calculator and text entry. Have written customer support at dev website, but received no response.
The app description says it works with RealVNC (and that RealVNC is recommended) but it doesn't. It says, "The selected authentication type is not supported by the computer." (I could probably get it to work if I turned off authentication on VNC, but I have a port open to the Internet so there is no way I would want to run VNC without password and encryption.) Oh well, time to find another app.
Was working well, but once I upgraded to iOS 14, it stopped finding and connecting to my computer. If/when it can connect again to my computer, I would give this app five stars.<br/><br/>Update: I got it to work after disabling and then reenabling remote management on my MacBook. Developer was responsive to my request for help. So I just upgraded my review from 4 to 5 stars.
I wasn’t about to pay $4 for a wireless keypad app, I’d sooner spend $50 on a real one. But as soon as I saw it’s adaptive for Sibelius I bought it without hesitation. I’m happy to say that it works, although it was a little tricky to hook up to my MacBook.<br/><br/>But the fact that I can look at my phone to see the notes instead of having to look at the computer screen and hit the corresponding key is wonderful. I no longer have to have that ugly keypad on my screen.<br/><br/>I haven’t tested the app without Wi-Fi, and I’m not sure if it’ll work without Wi-Fi. It’d be a shame because Sibelius is an offline app, and this app should be able to work with Bluetooth to give the same result.
