Last Thursday I presented at a Early Childhood Technology Conference here in Michigan. After my presentation was over there were a few attendees who came forward to ask what app I was using to control my Google Slides™ presentation with my iPhone. Therefore, I thought this topic would make a great blog post because there are many options for turning your phone into a presentation remote.
Here are a few I have tried in the past as well as the one I chose to use last Thursday.

My Pick☝
I ended up using Unified Remote last week. My presentation was in Google Slides™ and I needed to go back and forth between slides to refer to images in my presentation. Also, I needed to be able to click on links that would take me to outside web tools.Unified Remote (Free with Paid Upgrades)
I did not pay for any upgrades. Since I needed the basic functionality of advancing and returning to slides, I ended up just using the slideshow remote feature:
The tool does allow for you to control the mouse, keyboard and other items:
Download the free app on your phone (iTunes/Google Play/Windows Phone) and the free software to your computer HERE. Once you connect to the server, launch your presentation & app and start controlling your presentation right from your phone. It was that easy and worked beautifully!
Unified Remote will control all types of presentations and is not limited to Google Slides™. I do wish it had the option to view your slides and speaker notes right from your phone.
