Pros and cons of jfControl - Allround Remote Control app for iPhone and iPad

jfControl - Allround Remote Control app good for

Its a remote for your mac - iTunes, Finder, DVD, etc. Responsive developer, app is good and improving. Very happy with the product.
This App is worth every penny- even more! It works beutifully and i can controll everything. I cant wait to creep out my friend by making my computer be "Possessed".
I tried the free version of this app available in the app store, and within minutes I was searching for the full version to buy it. I have to say Im completely satisfied. It connects right away, and there is no delay in response from the Mac. Navigation between files and folders is seamless and intuitive, and you can even toggle between list view and cover flow. If I could ask for more features in future updates, they would be 1. Enable Fast Forward in Quick Time, 2. Press and hold function to make scrolling through items in Front Row faster (instead of having to repeatedly press the arrow keys) and 3. perhaps more themes/color options...something to make it more Macish. On the whole, I would have gladly paid more for this, it works better than the Apple remote I paid $19.99 for!!
This is by far the best remote app for the iPhone so far! this app contains controls for all applications and even the finder and number pad. It is also nice to see the program that is install on your computer, run in the background, almost hidden. This app is quick to connect from the iPhone to the computer! Great job guys, keep up the good work!!
this is the best app out there buy far the best...its smooth and sleak does everything you want and for cheap Needs: track pad function. The arrows is annoying and lengthy. A wifi toggle would be nice.
intel以前のmacにはついていないapple remoteですが、このアプリ(とenabler front rowなど)を使えば旧いmacでもfront rowやDVD、ITunesの操作がワイヤレスでできます。私はkeyspanのリモコンをapple remoteの代わりに使っていたのですが、使い方によってはこちらの方がベターな部分もあります。 自分でこのアプリのボタンにショートカットキーをあてることが出来れば他のアプリとの連携でぐっと可能性が広がるのですが… とは言えこの価格でmacをリモコン操作出来ると考えれば、かなりの割安感があります。 verUpによってeyetv対応しました。 やっとバグもとれ、使用段階です。 しかし立ち上げるたびにいちいち 設定を読み込むため、使いたいときすぐってわけにはいきません。 さらなるverupを期待します。 もっとアプリになりそうなのに(>_<)

Some bad moments

This app crashes on every start up- no support when problems occur have yet to get this thing working, would not recommend!!!!
Tommy and I had to work for a while to get this app going, but in the end we got it running. The support behind this app is OUTSTANDING. Turns out I had to unpair my apple remote in the security section of system preferences. And if you use Skype and/or torrent software you need to close them first to establish a connection. Likes: Front Row function works perfectly; VLC remote works well. Needs work: Remote connection not always found on startup; connection is infrequent after iPhone locks itself; should be able to customize which apps are displayed in layout (ex. only iTunes, VLC). App crashes periodically. Great App already! A lot of potential to be phenomenal...
Ive been looking for an app just like this for a while that will control more than just iTunes. It was easy to install and does what they say. Two wishes: Id love to be able to control VLC with it. I use that to watch all of my movies. Second, I wish the design was a little more Mac like and intuitive. Maybe Ill design some screens and send them over!
It keeps crashing on my iPod touch, then wont reconnect to my mac. I dont see any support on thief web site.
I love this remote and its simple easy to use qualities, but there is room to grow. Flipping through remotes could be easier. But Im sure the next update will have all of that solved.
I purchased this in hopes of using it for Front Row on my Mac Mini. Alas, the old G4 Mini will not run Front Row because there is no IR port. Certainly not a limitation of this app by any means, but be aware of this. Im not too fond of the layout, and controls. The little dots on the bottom are frustrating.
