Better remote controls
I love the idea of the remote control - I always struggle to get the dual screen setup with laptop / projector so this seems ideal - but execution seems less than ideal.
Swiping to go back a slide (e.g. perhaps you accidentally tapped twice) is clumsy. Especially if your speaker notes are long enough that they scroll - then you get a very small section of the screen where you can actually swipe to go back a slide. Given the lag on sending the change-slide message over the network, it's hard to have confidence that it correctly picked up the swipe. Maybe we could have proper onscreen controls?
(if space is a concern, I'd consider maybe getting rid of the clock - people often have the time visible on their mobile device already)
Also, tapping the timer to reset it causes the slides to go forward by one.

the backwards swipe function does not work on ios either

Generally, the Android UX for the Speaker Remote is very flawed. About all that I can get the controller to do is tap to go to the next slide. Most other gestures are ignored or just perform the Next Slide operation.
