i-Clickr Remote for PowerPoint App Reviews

I had originally given this app one star, and posted a review that said not to buy it since the helper software that has to be installed on your computer did not work under Windows 7 64-bit with MS PowerPoint 2010. After playing around with it for an hour, I was able to get it to work but there are a couple of things remember: 1. The presentation that you want to open must be in the "My Documents" folder, or it just will not work. No error message is displayed; instead PowerPoint will simply refuse to load. If you are trying to load a presentation from the desktop, it will not work since it must be in either the "My Documents" folder or a sub-folder off of My Documents. 2. Despite the icon appearing with a shield, do not give the helper software on the PC admin rights since it does not need them to operate properly and it may impare the softwares ability to connect up with MS PowerPoint.

This is a great app once it is set up, but setting it up is the challenge. This could be easily eliminated with better directions. Im not sure why the default setting for opening up presentations in this app is Keynote when the app is specifically about controlling Power Point presentations on a Mac. You have to manually go in and change the setting otherwise the connection cannot be made to the presentation because it is being opened in Keynote. Once I figured that out the rest was easy - it was easy to establish a wifi connection and it was easy to set up a separate network connection. One other important thing that many have mentioned is that the presentations need to be saved in the Documents folder or a sub folder in documents. They cannot be accessed from any other folders. The app needs to have a more robust help guide and needs a better step by step explanation of how to get it to work. Once you get it to work, its great. I hesitated to give it a 4 because it was such a pain in the butt to set up, but it works great once it is set up.

Wont connect no matter what you do.

This app doesnt work with office 2010 student edition. It asks to reinstall but I dont have the install disc - it seems that Senstic doesnt know that now you can install office from web... Anyway, dont waste your $ on this.

I needed a wireless PowerPoint remote and a backlit prompter screen for giving presentations in less than ideal lighting conditions. I found this app to be exactly what I needed. I can access my notes from the same screen I use to control the slides...a very useful app...I recommend it. The only challenge...the wifi once went down in the middle of my lecture...(guess I should have bought the 4g).

I love this app. Now I dont have to keep running to my laptop every time I want to change my slide. I like the fact that your iPhone becomes your mouse and youve got control of your mouse. I need this feature to play embedded videos. Best of all.... Its $10. That a lot cheaper than a remote clicker. And... Its 1 less thing I have to carry around and/or lose.

I bought the app hoping to use it the next day for a *huge* presentation. Could not get the desktop client to open. I was really frustrated and sent an email out to the developer while downloading a different free app. Within an hour the developer had me a new version and I was up and running. It is a little tricky to get going, but once set up, I love the ability to switch between presentations.

I had issues in making this work. HOWEVER I Send an email to the designer of the application. His customer service and willingness to help is absolutely overwhelming never seen better. If you buy the product and have any problems just email them and Ray will get back to you almost immediately. Just a great product once it starts working

Doesnt work. Tried everything. Total waste of time. Take your $10 bucks and go buy yourself a latte instead.

Embarrassed me during a presentation. Very buggy, dont wast your money.

I gotta start reading the reviews before I pay for these apps or apple has to come up with a return policy. App just doesnt work. iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro with office 2011. Im not sure how else to put it except I wasted money.

I purchased this 20 minutes before a large presentation. Once I figured it out, everything was exceptional! Used iPad gen4 tethered to my MacBook. Need to change security settings on MacBook and load the software from manufacturers site.

I have been using this app for 2 years now to give presentations. iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5 with MacBook Pro and office 2011. Every now and then I would have some hang ups, but they always turned out to be something I did. Just recently I updated the software on my MacBook and to my surprise it stopped showing my slides on the iPhone when I was going to present. After some research I discovered that I just needed to save the PowerPoint in presentation mode. It then worked great

This app allows you to use your own laptop to connect to the projector so everything stays the same. Fonts, backgrounds transitions etc remain unchanged. I lecture and preach and in some venues the connection for the projector is at the back of the hall. The wireless link overcomes this problem. I can also see what is to come and easily move between slides. Really recommend this app.

As a person who facilitates meetings and presents presentations for a living, this app makes my job so much easier! One suggestion for future update: allow more than one device to connect to the same PowerPoint. This would be amazing when co-facilitating, instead of having to hand off and share an iPad while presenting.

I was looking for a great app to convert my phone into a Powerpoint clicker. This app is great! You can load powerpoints on your computer straight from your phone without having to stand infront of your laptop for forever trying to locate your file while your audience is waiting for you. It also displays each slides notes on your phone as you go through your powerpoint. This is great because you can easily read notes discretely while presenting if necessary! Great app, wish it were a bit cheaper.

Dont waste your time or money. Needed this last second for a presentation and wasted 20 minutes trying to get it to connect.

I hate to give an app one star because I know that developers work hard on these, but I have to warn you. This app is very buggy. I like my presentations to be fluent without technical difficulty. This app is not the app for that. This app will freeze up, not open Powerpoints at random, and will not open Powerpoints that have too many slides. I just broke down and bought another app, which was actually half the price of this one but phenomenal in capabilities, and ability.

This is garbage and just does NOT work.

Unstable, over-complicated and overpriced. Regrettable purchase.
