Unified Remote 1.4.0.0
Unified Remote offers a straightforward solution for this, so as long as you download and install the server for Windows, setup the Mac app or use the ones for other operating systems, the Windows Phone utility will allow you to control not only certain system features, but it will also provide remotes for handling a wide variety of applications commonly installed by many users.
Tidy interface, with a practical design
The utility relies on some clean and smooth graphics that are consistent from end to end and it enables you to access all the commands and tools in a neatly organized manner.
The remote control buttons for the various apps or system features appear as medium-sized tiles and are very well structured for ease of use, while from the main menu hosted at the bottom of the screen you can activate the remote app, choose to control the mouse or keyboard input.
Going through the long list of supported apps and navigating the numerous sections of the application is done smoothly and without visible delays or other kind of similar glitches.
Quick setup and instant remote access
Unified Remote doesn't require complex configurations, so you should be able to connect to a remote system without modifying the default options, unless some modifications have been made to the server component that is running onto the computer.
To view the available remote devices you can access the "servers" sections of the utility and there you will see the name of the remote PC, its local IP address and the TCP and UDP ports it has open for WiFi connections.
Complete set of controls at a glance
With this tool you can enjoy your favorite music tracks, play videos or browser the web, to name just a few uses the included applications can take care of. Some features like the remote screen viewer require more advanced versions of Unified Remote.
The full set of controls is at your fingertips at all times and a neat thing is that the communication is encrypted, so the data transfer is secure between the Windows Phone and the remote system.
An important thing you should consider is that you have only 1 day to try out all the features and after the trial expires you can stick with the basic functions or make a purchase to unlock the complete pack.
