Comments and Reviews
Love this product! Clean and easy. Developer is independent, but still responds promptly and releases frequent updates. Looking forward to future updates!
P.S. In-App Purchase ($2.99) in the Mac App Store to use with more than 1 device and to use mouse feature. But $2.99 is nothing for how convenient it is... I was happy to pay that to support future development. Hope he keeps it up!
