It's okay. When I use it, I find that sometimes, it doesn't read intentional swipes of my hand, but other times, it will respond to my walking nearby with a can of soda....or if I'm walking by and my elbow is out or something. If I have to be very obvious and intentional to make it work, It's not worth it. I'll keep trying.

Crashing This app keeps crashing on each and every attempt when the app is trying to pair with the laptop.

Steffen Langer

Just tried it and it's awesome! I was very surprised that it doesn't react to fast movements. But after using it for a presentation it makes perfect sense because it ignores your hand movements while talking!

App crashes always I've installed the app on multiple devices and the app crashes every time I click Ok after connecting to the PC.

Innovative A very nice app to give a more professional style to your presentations. The transitions would probably be smoother, but this is not a significant problem.

Awesome Tarek, thanks for the feedback and download!

Just what I need Had many problems getting it going, but most, if not all, seems to be trough my clumsiness. The guys from service helped me out very fast and patiently. Now it seems to work great. I tried it out on several prezis and it worked every time. Just needs quite a bit light on my camera of the mobile, this might be a little problem in darker presentation rooms.

Soumyo Sinha April 7, 2015

Does not work I read the issues which other users had on note 4. None the less, I went ahead and tried it and it didn't work on note 4. I am not on a guest network and I get the message server connected. I can swoosh, swipe, hover or wildly gesticulate my hands but the presentation wouldn't budge

OnTheGo Platforms June 11, 2015

Soumyo, we have updated our application and desktop app, which should fix the issue you were having with Swoosh, would love to know if you can update it and try Swoosh again! Let me know if it helps! www.getswoosh.com

Constantin Scholl April 7, 2015

Great concept, not yet working I love the simplicity of the idea. But its not working I get "Unable to connect to Swoosh server, trying to reconnect...". My setup: Macbook Air, Nexus 5, same home wifi, no special firewall or router limitations etc. Please fix and I will change my rating.

OnTheGo Platforms April 7, 2015

Constantin- thanks for the download! What version OS does your Mac run (10.7.0+)? If you're on the same Wifi, launch the desktop & smartphone app, then start your presentation it should work... If you're still having issues can you email Support@otgplatforms.com and we'll help work through any issues.

Aaron Perkins April 9, 2015

Love the idea, but... Tried this app a few times so far, and unfortunately, I am not getting consistent performance with it. I really wanted it to work well, but no luck so far. (Most swipes don't work, just yellow dots, often the presentation flips back to the 2nd slide with no rhyme or reason, etc.) All that to say that I am unable to utilize it in a presentati I need due to these issues. Devs? Any suggestions?

OnTheGo Platforms April 9, 2015

Aaron, thanks for the download and review. When performing a swipe are you at least 12" (30cm) away from your phones screen? We would love to help you with this, can you send an email to support@otgplatforms.com Thanks again!

Noli San Jose April 10, 2015

Request for refund It works 1 out of 10 times. Most of the time, it doesn't recognize the hand movement. Sometimes it seems to conflict with other background-running apps like Facebook which crashes both apps, which requires a restart of the server component on the PC because it cannot recognize the server machine anymore. Bottom line: it doesn't work for me and I will request for a refund. Thanks. Note: I'm using Note 4 and Windows 8 PC, and yes, I'm seeing the bubbles as I wave my hand but it's not reacting.

OnTheGo Platforms April 10, 2015

Noli, sorry that you are having this issue. Are you seeing just yellow bubbles or yellow and blue? Are you swiping at least 12" (30cm) above the screen? Can you email support@otgplatforms.com and we will quickly help you!

Samsung Note 3 - over WiFi On a corporate network my mobile device cannot find the mac osx yosemite laptop that hosts the swoosh server and PPT. It works on a hotel wifi network though. What is the constraint?

OnTheGo Platforms April 7, 2015

Hey Naveed, Swoosh currently doesn't work on 'Guest' Wifi networks, which most corporate networks are considered, do to their security protocols. We are however quickly working on a solution to fix that issue. If you have any more questions please feel free to email us Support@otgplatforms.com happy to answer anymore questions!

Works Perfectly Amazing for presentations I give at work! Always wows everyone!

Fish Bearson April 7, 2015

No luck on 802.1x Even when using dmz. No firewall blocking, couldn't even find my laptop. Shame, I'd really like this to work. Also, server application crashes when you change wifi on laptop.

Scott Littlefield April 7, 2015

No Luck At first the application recognized the server application on my laptop, but once the presentation was launched I was unable to progress the slides despite waving my hand around like Harry Potter. Uninstalled the app from my LG G3. Nice concept, but I'll stick to using Universal Remote. There's a PBR down the drain.

OnTheGo Platforms April 7, 2015

Hey Scott, did you see yellow and blue bubbles on your phone? Was your presentation 'launched'? Was your hand at least 12" (30cm) above your devices screen? Would love for you to get your PBR's worth :) Looking forward to hearing back!

Miguel Cu April 6, 2015
