Alfred Remote App Reviews

Beautifully done. Makes using Alfred that much better. Well done guys.

When mating a computer to an iOS device for the first time, you must hit the computers name on the iOS device to complete the process.

If you use Alfred, have an iPad or iPhone, then this is a must have. Alfred is great on its own, this moves it up to a whole new level.

I love it. I love Alfred and now this…amazing

Im a big fan of Alfred on the Mac, even after the changes in Yosemite. This app really knocks it out of the park. First -- it worked perfectly right off the bat. Second -- Ive spent a good part of today adding in application shortcuts and web pages shortcuts, and it works flawlessly. Really a great time saver and I look forward to using it more. If youre a fan of Alfred, this is well worth the money.

Great app works as advertised. Very handy.

Amazing integration with Spotify (thanks to the Alfred Spotify mini player). While early days I can easily see multiple uses for this.

Maybe allow Alfred Mobile to act as a mobile mouse/trackpad and have a keyboard function to type to the main mac/laptop. Itll be even better when Im AFK. So far, functions as described, but does not serve my needs.

To much work to make it connect all the time. I think it is a version 1 type of software. Wish I could of tested it out before purchase, definitely would not spent the money. I will say when I get it to connect, it does what they say.

I wish I could actually do the typing thing as I do on my Mac. But I still have to type the search results for the searches. So far the app seems pointless to me, but with great potential. If I could do more, it would be great.

All I really wanted in an Alfred remote was the ability to toggle Alfred from away from my computer and send it commands; in particular, shutting my displays off. The app never connects to my Mac in a timely manner if it connects at all, immediately rendering it useless as a remote. If that worked, I would still say that running with crayons put entirely too much fuss into the springboard UI for it. Alfred itself is just a text field I type commands into; why should I need anything more than that on my phone? And this design limits how useful the remote is for me; if the remote were just the Alfred app as it were on OS X I have a powerful tool at my disposal to run whatever commands i need to remotely (and I hope securely). They put so much work into this and I wanted so badly to like this, but without it even connecting reliably to my Mac I cant recommend it.

I am still learning the different ways I will use this, but so far, I am happy that I have this. I use Alfred for my Mac a lot, and to be able to run various programs and commands from my iPad has had its uses. I look forward to discovering new ways to use Alfred Remote as I play around with its features.

Great concept and work flawless. But after launching apps on the mac you are controlling you have no mouse or keyboard to do anything…. Or am am I missing something?

I have found that I can do things much faster launching things using Alfred on my Mac faster than looking over at my iPad and then searching for a command.

I tried all the methods described on the website. However, none of the method would work. Now, I stuck with the first step “Looking for Alfred Remote…” for ever. I even reboot both my devices.

I love this app but I spend all my time trying to connect and reconnect and reconnect and reconnect. Very little help from website. Please fix this soon …

This has replaced 3 remote apps on my MBP, including one that installed janky kext files on my MBP. Buttons map key bindings and fire scripts & Alfred Workflows. Literally 2 minutes to make a remote, then swipe between different ones. The Alfred Devs really get ease of use, sometimes better than Apple. Highly recommended.

It does what it promises, but honestly I never ended up using it. Its faster and less jarring to do a few extra key presses than reach for your phone or iPad. Im going to knock it down for not actually being useful. I wish there was a free version I could have tried before dropping $4.99 on it...

It takes some investment into the desktop app to really see the power of this app. Anything that can be automated with Automator,scripts, or Alfred workflows can be triggered remotely from your phone.

Doesn’t work, on the same network, won’t connect, waster of time, don’t bother.
