Pros and cons of Remote HD app for iPhone and iPad

Remote HD app good for

Remote HD is my dream app. With it I have absolute control over my Mac, even when Im on another room — or another city! Almost perfect.

Funktioniert bestens mit appletv(+ATV Flash) und MacBook Pro vom ipad aus. Klasse! Und auch vom iPhone

Excellent app... Works really well. I use it a lot to start torrents download when im away from home. Just need an update to make it work with OS X lion. I can connect but cant see my screen. Fix this quickly please! Keep up the good work!

Easy to use, works controlling Rdio when streaming around the house. Easy set up. Would like the remote to have more control with browser streaming other than just pause / skip etc. Controlling my mac works but us clumsy on the iPhone screen. I imagine its much better on an iPad. Very easy install and set up, also impressed how it works on an iPhone 3G. Easily worth $4.99

The more I use this app the more I like it. It has some very cool features that other remote apps are missing

Not the most intuitive or functional interface but works quite well and also serves as a fairly acceptable way to stream music from iTunes on any computer on your network.

Some bad moments

Just tried it on my iPad an AppleTV. It is the worst app ever done!

CAREFULL, DONT BUY!!!! AIRPLAY FUNCTION IS ONLY FOR AUDIO!!!! TO EXPENCIVE APP - AIRPLAY WORKS ON OTHER APPS ALREADY FOR FREE!!!!

Very frustrating program. Crashes quite frequently - pretty much every time I try to enable a stream from iMac (iTunes radio) to my iPhone if I switch the speakers on and off (on Remote HD); almost as frequently other times when streaming audio. Also crashes when frequently (randomly) when accessing my Apple TV and using Remote HD as a remote. Considering this isnt cheap by most utility app standards, Id really like my money back. :(

Laggy, unintuitive controls, crashes often. Sorry, but I wish I could get my money back.

Not worth the money as it is a bit buggy I would love my money back. Expensive apps like these are the reason there needs to be a trial period. I found it is not as good as Rowmote for my Atv2.

Try to fixit several Times download it and erase it , also waiting for updated and always the same always bug I am glad I had it with a better price because I lost my money anyway
