Generally works with an Android phone, surprisingly well, considering it's not designed for Android.

Nothing bad about this app. But I hope it's not needed in iOS 8.

Sorry no try no buy! And yes it's pathetic when dev reviews his own app. Did you see a dev give himself 2 stars?

Well I'll give this a five-star review and I'm not an employee! I'm an iOS developer and use this to test my apps for bluetooth control - without Type2Phone I'd have to continually have to be switching on and off bluetooth pedals etc. It works perfectly for my needs and occasionally I find that it's connected when I need to send an sms or type something on my iPad - so I just type it using the iMac's keyboard - couldn't be easier.

Give them a break Guys, Houdaspot is a fantastic app and I have been dealing with this developer for a long time. As usual, if you dont like the product, dont buy it. For goodness sake, let the guy have a little slack!!
