Abandoned App
It barely gets the job done and does technically function, but still paywalling features when there hasn’t been an update in over 4 years…insane. Android has been getting updates and new features like crazy though. I did reach out to the devs several months back to see if they would confirm or deny if they abandoned iOS officially, but all I got back was a ChatGPT crafted response with the classic overly nice response that quotes your talking points back to you almost verbatim. For the record, the email response did state that iOS was still on their roadmap and I do think a human was involved in the response, but I just don’t know if that part was human or AI. I’ll gladly put a sock in my mouth if they’d ultimately prove me wrong with a new release. This is one of the few apps I’d be willing to pay a subscription for if they’d just pay any attention to it at all… RIP to what could have been.

Doesn’t work
TL;DR - use RemoteMouse (remotemouse.net) instead. This buggy app bills itself as plug and play, but despite following the instructions the spending another half hour trying to configure “external LAN” and “bindings,” I still couldn’t get it to work. RemoteMouse worked instantly first-time.
