I've been using this for a couple years and I just realized I never wrote a review.
I love this app. Not sure why it got such a negative review earlier. I've never had a single problem with it. I used to use it with my iPhone 5 to control my Mac when I was too lazy to get off the couch. now that I have an iPad, it's a no-brainer. It's intuitive. There are all kinds of options and settings to customize your experience. It's fast, but it won't render movies or your screen saver in real time, of course.
If you need to control your Mac from your IOS device while you're taking a bath (don't laugh, it happens), I can't think of a better solution.
Highly recommended. Can't believe it's free.

Seems to work well, but I don't see why it should have a menu bar icon, which offers no important features, and no more functionality than the app itself does. There should be a preference to turn this off.
That said, what I'd *really* like is a preference to turn the Dock icon off as well, since this app is usually going to be running in the background doing nothing actively on the host machine, so its icon is just taking up unnecessary space in my Dock.
