Welcome to 'Paul's App of the Day', where I pick one of my favourite apps as featured app of the day! Today's app is...

Gmote

What we say

A great app to remotely control media playback on your Windows PC, Mac or Linux box. I like the virtual touchpad / keyboard too, and the ability to launch websites from the phone is neat. A must have for me and my TV connected PC!

Suggested improvements for the next version

A little bit of polish would be good for the UI and if switching between remote and touchpad sometimes the 'back' button seems to get confused. Overall though, great app!
