iPad App Review: Mobile Mouse

Rating: ★★★★☆

One of the things that is great about the iPad is that it has such a large screen. Although the operating system of the iPad is very much the same as the iPhone operating system, the larger screen really makes doing things that were done on the iPhone a whole lot better. You might remember that on the iPhone, there was a variety of apps released that would enable you to turn your iPhone into a control for your computer or Mac. One of the iPad apps that was released for the iPhone was the Mobile Mouse application and this allowed you to turn your iPhone into a mouse for your computer. Of course, this didn’t work so well on the iPhone as the functionality of the app was limited but now it has been released for the iPad.

When you first launch the application, you will notice that it has a very minimal and well thought out design. Most of the screen is taken up by the track pad that the app has which will allow you to control your computers mouse by moving your finger around the iPads screen. However, there are a number of other features that the application has and these can all be accessed from the bars that are at the top and bottom of the screen. The app is very well designed in terms of usability and the app is extremely easy to figure out how to use. mobile mouse screenshot

One of the best features of the app is of course that you can control your computer using your iPad. The great thing is that you can use the application in any orientation you like, so you can use the iPad landscape or portrait and the app will work just fine. One of the things that is also great about the app is that you can actually control a huge amount of things on your computer. The app isn’t just limited to things like a web browser; it will actually control almost any program on your computer that you have open.

The app also has a full on screen keyboard. If you have the version of this app that was released for the iPhone then you will know that the iPhone version also had this, however, it works much better on the iPad as you can really type extremely easily. The app also incorporates multi touch gestures that you can use with your computer, which really makes the app even better than using a conventional keyboard and mouse.

One thing that you should note about the app before you get it is that it actually connects to your computer using a Wi-Fi network. This means that if your home doesn’t have a Wi-Fi network, this app won’t be able to be used.

Overall, this is one of the best Mobile Mouse applications for the iPad out there today and the great thing about it is that it is currently available from the iTunes app store for only $2.99.
