NumPad. App Reviews

I own a MacBook Pro and I am taking accounting and economics this semester. I was getting a little frustrated with all the calculations I needed to do on my computer when I needed to add I had to hit "shift "="" and to multiply "shift "8"". I do a lot of my work in low light due to a 3 month old 10 ft from me, so a solar powered calculator is not an option, and not going to spend big bucks on a battery calculator with backlight if they even make one. I love the calculator on the Mac with the paper tape. This app gives me the ease of typing the numbers and calculations (+,*,/,-) i need, with out spending the money for another calculator.

Got this app because I really enjoy touchpad but wanted numerical entry and musical notation seemed great. The numerical keyboard x button does not work as a backspace and the lack of a delete feature makes this irritating to use. For excel, navigational features or something like a mouse or 4-directional control on the same screen as the numbers would make this more functional. Also I could only get 2 of the screens to work, no musical notes, but perhaps this is because I tried it on a computer that does not have Sibelius on it.

I started out giving it a single star because I wasnt able to use it with Sibelius. (I should explain that I installed it on the first version of the iPad and it worked great. After I migrated Apps to the new iPad I discovered a numeric keypad in place of the Sibelius interface. I was ready to scream, then by chance I selected Setup and selected Sibelius. It works great now. Im using Sibelius Version 7 so I cant speak to issues reported with Version 6.

This app has worked perfect for me since I bought it. Why waste $50-$70 on a new keyboard just to get a numeric keypad on a Mac Keyboard when you can spend a few bucks and use your iPhone? Only problem: Once you update to support iOS6, it no longer opens. Please fix so I can get back to appreciating this apps awesomeness. Thanks. 3 for the bad update. Changed to 5 once they fix this.

Just updated. App wasnt great when I originally got it. Couldnt backspace/delete. But since the update it crashes on open!! Please fix! I use this daily!

Since newest update it crashes on open. iPhone 4S

Dont do it, Dont do it, Dont do it, Dont do it!!!!!!!!

Crashes upon open.

I loved using this app for a lot of data entry for work. I had the same issue with it crashing with iOS6. I deleted it and re-installed it. It will load now, but I cant get it to recognize my computer. This is really starting to upset me since I did pay for this app.

iPhone 4 (iOS 6) and Mountain Lion. Using to control Sibelius. Perfect. Seriously wish I knew about this sooner!

It is frustrating to be required to sign in with a user name and password every time just to use a keypad on my own computer! It worked briefly, but now wont accept my name/password so I trashed it.

Ive tried connecting several times but it has never worked. The help does not.

Never worked bought it than deleted it DONT BUY IT! Save your money. The description has alot of lies also.

Works great with iPhone 5 and Mountain Lion. Easy setup. I really like how the default theme matches Macbook keyboards. I was hesitant to spend the money given the reviews, but its really a well designed app with a company behind it that seems to have a nice support team and a decent online presence.

Dont waste the $6. I followed all of the instructions to a t, but it will not find my computer. I even added my computer with all the correct info including my password. Nothing.

Whenever this app does not detect your mac even after you have done all the setting, try to delete the app and just reinstall it. I will detect your Macbook!!!!!! Yeah!!

It stopped working. Ive been through the knowledge base, tried everything I can think of, and its not working. It worked great, and now, kaput. What port should it be? Should the computer address be my IP address? It sure is making me frustrated.

This is a great solution for pro composers/arrangers trying to use Sibelius on mobile laptop rigs. If youre having problems connecting, trying creating an adhoc network from your laptop first, then flip your iPhone into airplane mode, wait 30 seconds, then turn on iPhone wifi and find your adhoc network. Once it connects, its rock solid. Thank you for making this! I cant imagine working without it.

If youre a Sibelius user, youve just stumbled on to a beautiful new tool! Efficient and quick. Follow the directions to easily setup with Mac. Worth 4X the price!

Does exactly what they claim it doesWould be nicer if (1) it worked via USB cable or Bluetooth as well as wi-fi, and (2) if the screen rotated to look as it does on the iPhone, when using the app on an iPad Mini in landscape mode. Those two enhancements would make it perfect. Maybe on the iPad version they could also add arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, and a scrolling area to control the mouse... That would make working on complex spreadsheets an absolute joy!
