This app lets you easily control your computer from a distance. It's great if you have your computer hooked up to a TV. The app works like a remote touchpad with keyboard, file browser, and allows you to customize specific actions too.
Cons
Remote desktop apps perform similar functions (TeamViewer), but I think this one is smoother.
Summary
Great app if you want to control your Mac from a distance. Otherwise, not much of a use.
