WiFi Mouse 2.3.4
It has an intuitive UI and lots of features that you can use. WiFi Mouse supports speech-to-text as well as multi-finger trackpad gestures. It can be used on PC, MAC or HTPC through a local network connection.
Simplistic but clean UI
The first thing that you need to do when launching the app is to install the Mouse Server on your PC or Mac. It only takes a few minutes, but the app doesn't need online registration since it connects the two devices through your active WiFi connection. It's important that they use the same AP (router).
But all this information is available in the tutorial. The app automatically scans Mouse servers, or you can input your IP or Mouse server manually. It also has a FAQ section in case you're having trouble with installing and using the app on your device.
Turn your phone into a remote mouse
It comes with all the controls you might need in order to use your phone as a remote mouse. You have a scroll icon on the middle of the screen and the option to tap once for right and left clicks. Gestures can also be used, but you can't change them from settings.
You can adjust mouse and scroll sensitivity, have the app auto-scan servers, enable left handed mouse and proximity sensors, so that the PC screen would light up when your hands are near the phone. You can also have the app show mouse after it's connected.
Use the keyboard, controls for music players and browsers
You can use the app as a keyboard on your desktop, however it seems that this feature doesn't work on all devices. It also has shortcuts to controls for browsers in the mouse section.
WiFi Mouse can be used during PowerPoint presentations, considering that it has controls for skipping slides, play, back and close. It has icons for closing file managers and opening new ones. Use WiFi Mouse to shutdown your PC or put it in sleep mode. Media controls are only available if you purchase them separately for 1.89$.
While browser controls include the option to open new tabs, access the search bar, bookmark pages or close the browser window. However, the app has trouble with this feature as well. It comes with lots of popup ads and constant messages for buying the feature that allows you to input hot keys. The full version costs 5.09$.
