    One review had all the right words, but after paying $5, there is no website to download the corresponding drivers on the laptop. Site is decommissioned. DO NOT BUY, Apple should remove thid broken product from the store.

    Will be looking at how to get a refund, for the first time. Very unhappy to see Apple hasn’t pulled this down.
  • Do Not Buy

    By gregsoundz (Pcmac user)

    The app is no longer supported. The page to download the driver leads to a phishing extension download
  • A temporary fix

    By xoStarlight6ox (Pcmac user)

    For a heads up, yes this app is broken and needs to be updated again. What I did notice though was that when j first downloaded the app, it worked fine. When I tried to use it for a second time, it wouldn't open properly due to the Bluetooth message causing the app to freeze. So, for those of you who are patient, you can just delete and reinstall the app after each use until it works properly again =) it doesn't take that long
