jfControl Lite - Allround Remote Control

Works perfect on my MacBook. No complaints other than I'd like more features and the ability to manipulate my Mac from the remote (with the free version). Thx ~Rob H.

I downloaded the free app and the required Mac software for my MacBook Pro 2.33 running X.4.11 and the program ran intermittantly -- I contacted Mr. Kammerer who guided me through the known config issues and the app still remains unstable; when I considered the non-free version this is the response I got: "Hello, please do not download the non-free version, because something is blocking the signals and I really don't know what the problem is. The last thing you can try is disabling the automatic configuration and setting up the ip adress directly, but I dont think this will help." Tried it again tonight and ti won't work -- looks like it could be a great app and I wish that the vol up and down buttons were continuous like "iTap", for example.

It wasn't intuitive in my opinion. All it did (as far as I could tell) was allow you to go up and down the finder list in column format. It was initially nifty to peruse the items and watch this from across the room, but I couldn't open the applications I wanted to. Drove me a bit nuts. However it does navigate your HD (Not hi-def) rather efficiently. One large problem.. The window/font was so small, I couldn't see it from my seat across the room. For me, that made it useless. It is possible that I just do not understand the uses for it, or missed key features. Or maybe it just simply doesn't work for my purposes. I will admit I have not used it in a while. So there's a good chance of inacuracy on my part. There must be a use that has some people entirely jazzed. And that's great! Please though, if I have entirely missed the point, can someone correct me? It gets one extra star for being free

I wanted to try the lite version before paying for it. The lite version just seems to work with Itunes and the free Remote app is much more intuitive. I was interested in being able to control more things on my computer. The volume control did not work in itunes, so I hesitate to get this until it is fixed.

What's the difference between this app and the Remote App to control iTunes that is already offered? The Remote app is way way way nicer looking and works. Maybe i'm not getting this yet...... Still give 4 stars since its free and heck, dev took the time to make the app!
