BTT Remote - best app for managing Mac with iPhone
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
I have long been looking for an app that would allow me to control the Mac with the iPhone. I do not need much - just the volume, playback buttons and trackpad. We did not get around to test BTT Remote. But now, when the app was free, I tried it and was completely satisfied.
BTT Remote Until recently, cost 119 rubles. But now the developer has decided to change the way of monetization (apparently become less to buy the app), and made a free utility, to endure the additional functions in the "Built-in purchase."
The app looks terrible. As much as I was happy with its functionality, appearance is poor. The same can be said about the application Companion for Mac - BetterTouchTool.
As you have seen, for the remote control you need to install the program on your computer. All actions by it, you can start with the iPhone. However, standard function (volume, play button, keyboard shortcuts) available immediately.
For 119 rubles you can extend the functionality of BTT Remote. You will be able to imitate the trackpad to open files from the computer to switch to the menu bar and all subsequent functions. I still have not bought a PRO-version and I do not think that when you buy it in the future. Remote trackpad was not as useful as control the volume and put music or movie can be paused and the free version.
The only disadvantage of the application is that you need to keep running BetterTouchTool utility on the Mac. Someone can not live without it, to me it seems unnecessary functionality. Therefore, it is constantly running only for the remote control with the iPhone. I have to endure.
