"Doesn't yet work with iPhones to auto lock/unlock"

June 7, 2012  |   By dcdiv

Version: RedHand 1.8.1

Pros

Awesome concept!

Cons

Doesn't yet work with iPhones to auto lock/unlock, which is it's most attractive feature, unless you first put the app into Discovery mode by going to Settings > General > Bluetooth! Far easier just to type in your password. I also doesn't work with screen savers as there can only be one app running at a time.

The developer said they are working on getting the iPhone to work even when the iPhone isn't in discovery mode. Once this is done, it will be an awesome.

Summary

This app has such great potential! The ability to get up and walk out of the room with your iPhone in your pocket and have you Mac lock itself after a preset time and then have it automatically when you walk back in again with your phone would be such an awesome app! This app isn't quite there yet but hopefully the developers will get this working for iPhones and it will be an amazing app.

"Windows screenshot? Of another program?"

Version: RedHand 1.6.1

Pros

You could at least make your own screens if you claim that you have tested the app. Very poor job on your part. It was a lot better on VersionTracker.

Cons

no screenshots.
