Keynote Remote uses Multipeer Connectivity, which allows newer iOS devices and Mac computers that have the latest version of Keynote to connect over Wi-Fi whenever they’re in close proximity, even when they aren’t on the same Wi-Fi network. If you have difficulty using Keynote Remote with older devices or Mac computers over Wi-Fi, try adding them to the same Wi-Fi network. See the Apple Support article Use Keynote Remote for more information.
Note: The old Keynote Remote app previously available from the App Store is no longer supported.

The presenter can flip through the slides and pick the one that is requested.

Pass on this app.
The app will NOT allow to start a video in a slide by tapping, it has to launch automatically, leaving you without any control over it. Try pausing-good luck with that, not possible.
Swipe to advance? NO! Must tap on an icon, which is awkward at best when you’re trying to look at your audience. Your slide notes? The app select which part of notes it will display, not necessarily all of them. Have to check whether I paid for the app, would like my money back. Beware
I gave this a try with only partial success. You need to download the connect app for your mac from the developers website in order for the iPhone app to work. However you receive warnings that the app cannot be verified- so, you have to override the security settings to allow the install. Once I did that, launching the app on my MacBook didn't seem to work the way I expected. Two icons showed up in the top of my screen (in the bar next to the battery icon and stuff). The iPhone app found my MacBook right away. Next, opening up a PowerPoint I was able to get the presentation started, but PowerPoint on my mac started giving me messages that it needed to download font after font and each font file was extremely large. This was alarming. I 'skipped' downloading anything. Next the iPhone app kept losing connection. The only thing that I successfully did was to start a presentation. After that nothing else worked.
I got it to work!
When I first tested on my home network, it worked great! I was impressed by the app's ability to use that drive on my computer to find and launch a PowerPoint straight from my iPhone.
A public network was a bit more tricky to connect, but I got it working. First, public networks typically default to making the computer not discoverable to other devices. I switched that off, assuming it would help. Second, I had to manually enter the address and port on the app to make it find the computer. Then it worked! Information
