iPhone as remote control for Powerpoint during a presentation?


I am going to hold a presentation at a congress using Powerpoint and I want to use my iPhone as a remote control. I'd like to use iPhone to click from sheet to sheet as I move freely in the room, I also want see a copy of the actual sheet on my iPhone screen.

I used i-Clickr Remote for Powerpoint some years ago, I think i was with Windows 7, but it had some issues, e.g. it did not work with all of my computers. It was so much hassle that I gave up in the end.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for an app? Have anyone used i-Clickr recently, has it become better over the last five years?

By the way, I can choose a PC with either Windows 7 or Windows 10 for the presentation.

 

Assigned Access of Powerpoint Presentation

I was hoping that by downloading the PowerPoint Mobile app in windows store, that I would be able to use it to setup assigned access on a Windows 10 computer and display a powerpoint presentation. Our issues is, we need this to be a Kiosk that no-one can
close out the presentation. Powerpoint allows you to turn most functions off, but you can still access the ease of access toolbar, and can also close the presentation out. When I go to assigned access though, Powerpoint Mobile does not appear in the list of
Apps. I have downloaded other Supposed PowerPoint Presenters, but none of them show up in the list either.

Can anyone tell me how to achieve this! I do not understand how to setup the Power Shell code to set this up, too technical for me. But I really need this as Kiosk computer. Any suggestion?
