2Screens Remote app good for
I Invested a Lot of time to find such a useful App for my Keynotes (PDF, ppt, pics). Very Easy usuability and intelligent Features (e.g. iPhone to iPad Connection, using iPhone as a chart Flipper, offline Mode, Laser Pointer, etc).
And furthermore excellent Customer service. I got the solution of my Problem within 10minutes. Just incredible!
Many Thanks!
I used 2Screens Remote on my iPod Touch to control my 2Screens presentation on my iPad for a 3-hour workshop this past week. The participants, other faculty, were VERY impressed! I asked the developer for this app a little over a month ago, because I wanted an app for my iPod Touch to control 2Screens on my iPad in a university classroom. I also wanted an app with Bluetooth connection because getting my iPod Touch to find my iPad on a university WiFi network with hundreds of other users (students and faculty), would not work. This app is far better than my PowerPoint remote clicker. With 2Screens Remote, I can jump to any slide with just a tap on the number pad, then tap the page button. With a PowerPoint remote clicker running PowerPoint on a classroom PC, I would always have to walk back to the computer to click on a hyperlink to jump forward 2-3 slides or back more than 1 slide. Now I can be standing anywhere in the classroom and jump to any slide!
A great BIG "thank you" to the developer from a most satisfied customer!!! When one of my workshop participants asked how I found this app, I bragged about how I had asked the developer for it and got it. :-)
This remote worked right away, as promised, with their other 2Screens presentation product. I Installed the 2Screens Remote on my iPhone 4 and it effectively allowed me to click from slide to slide on my iPad. My main reason for purchasing the iPad was to use if for presentations but the lack of a remote really crippled that ability. This is the product I have been waiting for and dreaming of. It will be great for professors and other types of presenters.
PLEASE, update this application !!! The Bluetooth connection is not working with iPhone 4. Other then that the application is awesome !!!
The presenter app needs work, but the remote is great. Would be better if the advance button was larger, maybe the top 1/3 of the screen. And the keyboard only popped up when needed. The bottom 1/3 could be an area to touch and hold/move finger to act as laser pointer. Works good though.
UPDATE: Continue to be impressed with this app. The new laser pointer feature works great! A must have complement to the main 2Screens app (which Im also very happy with and recommend)

Am very happy with this iPhone remote plus 2 screens on the iPad to present my talks. Just used it at a conference and it worked perfectly.
One thing Id like to see with the remote is the option for a few different button layouts.
I dont like to have to look down at my iPhone every time I want to change slides. Its very unprofessional and distracting for the audience. Give me the option to have the forward/back buttons cover the top 1/3 or the screen so that my fingers can find them naturally without having to look.
Also, remove the keypad and have it pop up only as an option. Jumping slides is only normally something you need to do in special cases (i.e. at the end of a talk when youre going back to re-show something) - it doesnt always need to be there. Perhaps you can replace it with a trackpad for the laser pointer in the bottom 2/3 of the iPhone screen? That would be nice.
Overall very happy! Highly recommended.
Some bad moments
I want my money back!!! I dont know why apple approved this and the 2screens for iPad! Theyve very slow and buggy!! It forced restart my iPad couple of times...very annoying!!! And theyre expensive for being useless!!! Please take this off the apple store so nobody would waste their money on these kind of apps. This remote doesnt do anything at all! Except scroll up and down on a web page....that is if you can get it to connect to iPad. It took a while to look for my iPad to connect to which is just beside it!!! I feel so ripped-off!!!!!!
Only controls slides, prev/next page, and go to page. Does not show the slide, cannot emulate lazer pointer, cannot use for drawing, not useful at all. This should have been for free!!
Slow. Buggy. Ugly. I was hoping to give an iPad presentation with this but quickly realized that this thing is unfortunately completely useless.
Total Rubbish.
This used to work... Now it appears not to connect to its companion software via Bluetooth, which is the only thing this app is supposed to accomplish. Frustrating!
