Constantly crashes

App will randomly not open. Restarting my Mac fixes it, but I don't want to constantly restart my OS just to use a VNC client.

Response from developer

Hi there, If you're not finding the under "Designed for iPad" category on the App Store for your M1 Mac, please reach out to support _at_ morpheusly.com and we will add you to our Beta where it's available. This version is arm64 compiled and will resolve any and all crashes you've been experiencing. I have users who reported installing and using it successfully. You can always just get a refund at https://support.apple.com/en-ca/118223 to get a refund, and email us at support _at_ morpheusly _dot_ com for additional support.

Frustrating

I had to emulate an android device on my Mac so I could try the free version. Very frustrating. There should be a trial/free version so I know that the connection type for PiKVM is supported.

Now on Mac, the connection constantly fails. Yikes...

Response from developer

To get a refund, you can always follow the instructions here: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/118223. I'm sorry this didn't work for you as you expected. It's always preferable to us to email us at support _at_ morpheusly _dot_ com for support rather than leaving us a bad review. Thanks for your consideration!

Works great but SSH with RSA broken

The app works well, but beware that the app doesn't like RSA SSH keys much. Better to use ed25519 or ecdsa keys. They're more secure anyways.

Response from developer

https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/issues/540 For whoever reported RSA keys not working with bVNC, aRDP or aSPICE, I found the root cause, and I suspected it's a server-side issue. 1. I checked /var/log/auth.log on an Ubuntu 22.04 machine which was reproducing the issue, and found: May 19 21:33:18 subgenius sshd[3205570]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-rsa not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms [preauth] 2. Edited as user root the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and I added to the bottom of it: PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms ssh-rsa 3. I restarted the server with: Ubuntu 22.04: systemctl restart ssh MacOS Ventura and newer: launchctl stop ssh launchctl start sssh 4. Thereafter RSA keys worked again.

SSH support broken

I got this for the SSH support. It can't even handle key based auth. The key I give it, which is a standard OpenSSH key isn't being passed properly. No documention exists that helps me confirm if I'm using the app right or not.

Hi there, Cyberpower678. Thanks for getting in touch. You can always get your money back on the App Store! Please follow the instructions on: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/118223. I believe you and I are already in touch on github about this issue. Rest assured that I'll get things working, but please do check back and respond to my questions on the github issue whenever you get a chance. Also, feel free to reach out to support _at_ morpheusly _dot_ com for help, as there is a lot that we can help you with, including giving away the app for free. My intention is not to stick users with software that doesn't work for them but to have each and every user happy with what they have. Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to your response!

Crashes - does not run

Apple M1 Sonoma 14.2.1 laptop. Won't even start, core dumps immediately. Report sent to Apple. Hate spending money on an app that doesn't work even if its only $8.

Password Storage

There is no password prompt, you are forced to trust and store passwords with this app.

Works well with piKVM

This might be the only VNC client on iOS that works more or less flawlessly for connecting to piKVM devices.

Works great!
