Unified Remote Control

Unified Remote Control is an awesome alternative to remote mouse app, infact it cannot be considered as alternative as its almost as par as remote mouse. Unified Remote even comes with a Linux version so that you can control your mouse pointer on Linux as well by your Android or iPhone.

Alongwith, the Mouse capabilities, Unified Remote even packs in a Wireless Keyboard,  App specific keys, media center remote and OS Client specific shortcuts which are not available in even Remote Mouse app.

The reason why we put Unified Remote on the second position is the problem which is faced in connecting the devices, despite both of them being on the same WiFi Network.

Unlike the first two choices there was a stiff competiton for the third spot with the likes of PC Remote Server app, Yooii studios Mouse kit giving a fair challenge. But Ultimate Mouse narrowly marches ahead because of it Bluetooth support, which is absent even in Mobile Remote & Unified Remote apps discussed above.
