i-Clickr Remote for PowerPoint App Reviews

Its a good application and very useful when it works fine. But I just upgraded the flatform of my device to iOS4, and it doesnt work well any more. It takes while to load the ppt when I connected to server PC (it used to be much faster before with os 3) It doesnt change pages on iPhone when I swipe or click to next page. When I wait very long time, pages are changed all together. This application is relatively expensive app. The vendor should have more responsibility to update their program along with the new os...

This is SO close... Still sporadically glitchy, and it needs a few more features, all of which several other previous reviewers have noted, but wow, to have a little presentation mode screen in the palm of your hand to look ahead with is amazing. Im really hoping the developers tighten this product up, because then it will be worth the ten bucks that I paid for it. I suppose Im investing in hope here...

It works just fine for most presentation, but once you have a video, the remaining slides are preloaded with still images from the video so as you progress after the video, all you see on the iTouch is these still images. It does not affect what the audience sees.

Difficult to get the application going. The user interface and feedback are not reasuring. And when beginning a presentation, confusion is the last thing you want in front of a crowd. Confusing that i-Clickr does not work with the Slide show mode from within Powerpoint. Perhaps my arrangement is unusual (non-mirroring of projector with laptop) but I doubt it. If you can get slide show mode started with i-Clickr, it does not allow the laptop to display in speakers notes mode. The laptop and projected images must be same with i-Clickr. Very slow to load slides is you have more than a couple. Of course the reason to buy the app is use with a large (>15 slides) and then pay app fails to load the slides in any reasonable time. Now I see a disclaimer on the app description page about turning off Bluetooth. Lame.

I love it! Here is a suggestion. Getting notifications made it crash. When Im doing a presentation I dont need sports scores. Perhaps an option to disable notifications when in a presentation. Otherwise its awesome!

This is a pretty good application! I use it all the time at work! It makes you look very professional when your changing the slides off your phone. The only problem I have with it is that is take forever to establish a connection between the phone and the computer. Other than that, this is an awesome app!

Im sure theres a lot going on under the hood so, not surprisingly, I would recommend reading the instructions... Connectivity: Using it on an existing wireless network is easy, it finds my existing network no problem. Ad hoc network: once the network was created on the computer side of things I have had no problems what so ever getting my iphone to connect to the network, and getting i-clickr to find the network. Bugs: heed their warning about bluetooth. I could not use the app w/ Bluetooth enabled and it did cause some extensive trouble shooting. Senstic support: I read some other reviews which were critical of Senstics support. I did not have that experience, indeed, they replied within two hours to an e-mailed support request and their reply did solve the problem (bluetooth, per above). Other problems: I have gotten the error "failed to load slide show, apple event handler error" (not helpful). When I try again it works. Not sure if this is on the side of the app, or within PPT or Apple.

Hope to add Bluetooth connection!

I had an urgent need for a remote to use (pass around) in a group setting presenting PowerPoint Mac 2011 on a MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard). There was no time to get to a local store but I did have an iPad in the room. I did a quick search on this kind of app in the app store and felt that i-Clickr would fit the need well and purchased it. I had absolutely no problems installing it, syncing the iPad to the MacBook from with i-Clickr and enabling my group to be in charge of their part of the presentation from wherever they were in the room. I especially like the feature that allows you to see not only the slide on display but also the next slide coming up. While I did not use the notes function, I can see where that could be a big help too. I also had an after purchase question of their support team and they were extremely helpful and responsive.

Was shopping for a clicker at a retail store hours before my presentation, didnt want to pay 40$, so I looked this app up, and it worked beautifully :) Turned off Bluetooth, and it took less than a sec to use bonjour to connect to my Dell netbook. Presentation and clicker were flawless and worked seamlessly together. Love the landscape swipe mode! Keep it up. I look forward to more great intuitive features in later updates. Saved my meeting!!

PLEASE ADD SUPPORT FOR MICROSOFT OFFICE FOR MAC 2011!!! Its been a while since its out and I havent seen any updates since half a year or so!

Works seamlessly with Apple Keynote (iWork 09), but still having problems connecting with PowerPoint for MS Office 2011 and PowerPoint for Mac 2011. Concur with previous reviewer: Please update for PP 4 Mac 2011!

One word. Awesome!

Its clunky, requires way too much setup, and crashes PowerPoint. I want my money back. I ended up converting my speakers presentation to Keynote at the last minute and purchased Remote for Keynote for $0.99. Remote worked flawlessly and simply for a fraction of the price. I will never purchase from Senstic again!

This app does exactly what it should do and does it incredibly well. The wifi connectivity significantly increases the range over what Bluetooth would offer. Control is smooth and lag-free and I have only experienced minor connectivity issues when I used multitasking to jump between apps while using this one. Simply said, if you need a PowerPoint remote and you have an iOS device, you need to buy this app.

I really love the app - its useful, simple to use, and an asset in meetings! However, I rate it low because they make you buy a separate app for the iPad. I didnt have an iPad when I first purchased this for my iPod touch. Unlike many companies who have a universal app for the multiple platforms, you have to buy this one again to have it working on separate devices. NOT A FAN. If it were only a few dollars, that might not be an issue. However, at $10, having to buy it twice to work on my iPod and iPad is not good customer service. If youre going to keep two platforms, you should gift purchasers the second app when they buy the first one.

Refuses to work for me, despite following all tips given in support. Refuses to connect to my Macbook despite it showing up in Connection list.

This product works as advertised. Make sure you turn OFF Bluetooth prior to using it. Stays connected, easy remote features, handy app.

This app is ok for the money but then again in comparison to other apps that are 1/4 of the price...this one works no better. If the folks at Senstic want customers to stick by their products they should fix this one so it works all the time. One reason those in the business and educational communities want an app like this is to have the information mobile on them and to share it with others through an app similar to this but one that works most to all of the time. Thanks for the innovation but take it further and make it more reliable. Id pay for it all over again if Senstic would just make sure it funcitons all the time especially with Powerpoint 011 for Mac. Until then guess Ill be the disappointed teacher who got sapped into this one and still has to be immobile as a glorified mouse clicker with an iPhone.

Was a complete pain to get my iPhone synced up with my Mac. Gotta make sure that devices are enable, bluetooth is off, have the software on the Mac set to PowerPoint or it will open up keynote and just a few other set up issues. However after all that it works great. Cant wait to see my students faces when I am walking around the room containing it with my phone
