Remote PC control via Android to Bluetooth

Remote PC control In life, there are many situations in which it would be convenient to remotely control your computer within an apartment or office, using only a smartphone that is not connected either to the Internet or to a shared router. And in such situations, applications from the category Bluetooth remote control PC for Android come to the rescue, one of which we will talk about. Let me remind you that in one of the previous articles we condemned the use of a smartphone as a remote control for a TV.

Our choice

Today you can find about 10 good programs designed for remote control of a computer, but few of them will be able to support several technologies of communication with a PC at once. Usually limited to only one Wi-Fi connection. We came across a free program on Google Play called Unified Remote. It supports PC control via Android to Bluetooth and via Wi-Fi, whichever is more convenient for you in this situation.

Like all similar applications, the control process interacts with the server part, which is separately installed on the computer.
