iPad

I knew there had to be a way to use my iPhone / iPad as a remote control for my iMac.

Why? I watch TV shows and movies on my 27-inch iMac display and was frustrated by using the mouse to control the volume, scroll through my hulu or netflix queue or press pause from the comfort of my couch.

Turns out there’s an app for that!

HippoRemote turned my iPhone and iPad  into a wireless keyboard, mouse, remote control and gamepad for my computer.

Three things I like about HippoRemote:

  1. Easy to install
  2. Offers free version and PRO upgrade
  3. Ability to tailor for specific programs such as Netflix
