Especially given how much Alfred for Mac still promotes it, links to it, and continues to include it in new work flows. The current version isn’t even designed for the current version of Alfred (5.5)! Its last update was 3 years ago and designed for Alfred 4. I wonder how many potential customers of Alfred for Mac were turned off when they saw this bizarre app. I was put off from anything Alfred for years - when I first heard of Alfred I looked it up on my phone to see what the internet had to say about it, and this iOs Alfred app showed up for me to click before even any search engine results. I was just as embarrassed for Alfred then than I am know. Only difference is that I forgot about the remote app for so many years that I did actually eventually get the Mac version. So now I’m embarrassed on behalf of both the team AND myself.
App is unreliable. It allowed me to connect and hasn’t allowed me to connect since. Don’t waste your money.
There is no way to get access to arbitrary keyboard and mouse controls so you have to manually build workflows for any little thing you would want to do.
I will request a refund.
I'm just sad that the play/pause button doesn't work. I don't use apple music, so I don't know if it works on that, but it does nothing to spotify and YouTube, etc. I have no idea why the pause, skip, rewind buttons are not just equivalent to pressing the same on the keyboard and are instead bound to a software I'll never use.
An update in 6 years? Please don’t abandon us again Alfred.
I’ve been using this across two Macs for a number of years. Having a remote that you can configure yourself for just about anything? Priceless. I didn’t think I’d like the 1.5 changes but they’re growing on me…. And yes one of the 5 remote screens is a TV remote for the 3 Mac media players on my machines. Tip: Try to match key bindings in every player you use… Infinite possibilities here, even if you’ve never programmed a line of code in your life.
The app is misrepresented on the Apple store site. The iOS app is inexpensive but it’s catch bait BEWARE: it’s useless without buying the “power pack” for the MacBook Pro which is in British pounds @ $1.4/lb do >$30. It’s somewhere between childish and dysfunctional. It took about an hour to figure out how to connect the iPhoneX and then the functionality was minimal. Day 2 could not reconnect. Ok so forget about a few $ for an app but the system is constructed in a idiosyncratic way. Just a huge waste of time and money.
This is a great idea and a well made product. However, a redesign, additional of things like widgets, and maybe siri integration, would make it very much better. I think, the big part has been finished. It is worth going that 15% just to make the experience smoother.
Where did you go, Alfred? I thought we were friends?
아이맥과 연결하고 설정을 한후 사용해보니 아주 잘되고 저는 마음에듭니다. 자주 사용하는 어플 등록하고 사용하니 편합니다. 자주 사용하는 사이트,풀더,파일들을 등록해서 사용하면 은근히 재미있어요^^
그러나 맥프레와 연결이 전혀 안되고 있네요.. 공유기에러인가?
