I control my XBMC on Apple TV 2 with iPod touch. I used the regular Remote app of Apple and constellation. However, none of them allow Keyboard entries. I need to use Keyboard to enter the ip address / searches - which of the remote app can I use. And Free of course!

I like SoulMote. I think you get keyboard access in the free version. Go to the remote screen, and it's the 4th button on the left.

Constellation has a keyboard, pull down the main screen twice and the keyboard is on the bottom right button.

Guys I've tried a few iPhone and iPad xbmc remote apps and have the same issue with the keyboard. If ever I press the letter e on the keyboard it seems to exit the keyboard entry screen on xbmc. To get around this I have to move the highlighted letter on screen from done to the letter e. it's rather odd.
Is anyone else seening this.

I realize this is an older thread but I just wanted to chime in that I noticed the same thing, the "E" key wasn't working. I think I fixed it by going into XBMC's System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices and turning OFF "Remote Control sends keyboard presses." (And Apple remote is set to "standard.")
FWIW I have just experimented with a handful of iOS apps on my iPad, and the only two so far I have been able to use for keyboard entry are Constellation and Soulmote. I couldn't get the virtual keyboard to work on XBMC Commander, or the Official XBMC Remote. Odd.

Circa 2015, do we have a comparative review of the apps and keyboards available via iOS?
