I've used the Android version some times ago. I remember using it to control Kodi on an old laptop I set up as a media player and not only I controlled Kodi but I shut the laptop down, controlled the mouse and keyboard with no problems. I almost never had to open the laptop and use it's keyboard.
Pros:Huge amount of integrations to use as remotes. Has a lot of use cases.
Cons:The user interface could be slightly more modern.
UR is excellent in its features and packages.
Pros:1. Easy to control almost every application on PC using the phone
2. Best for taking presentation and slides
3. Remote mouse using phone
Cons:1. Some features are paid
2. Can improve the GUI
3. Sometimes connection gets lost
I was asking for recommendations initially to control MPC-HC and PowerPoint Presentations, but this is much more than that. It's perfect!
The only cons I have for now are the not so clear UI (but I like the black theme, thanks for that), but I guess it could make it more beaufitul by embeding more of the Google's Material Design features.
The other thing is that the remotes still lack improvements, but I understand that as they're single devs.
I wouldn't think twice to buy the premium version as it's so cool with many features and surely to help the contributors.
Resuming: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Pros:1. Clever usage
2. Very handy for various situations
3. Innovative
4. Free to use (and reasonable premium price)
5. Cross-platform
6. So on.
Cons:1. Not so neat interface (it could make more use of Google's Material Design)
2. Some remotes lack support (should take time to improve).
