Well designed app that works well with my Macs
Long time Screens user
Response from developer
Hi there, thank you for being a long-time user of Screens and for sharing your thoughts. Screens requires a subscription to support ongoing maintenance and the continuous development of new features. Additionally, we maintain the Screens Connect infrastructure, which demands ongoing investment in both time and resources. All of our plans, including Lifetime, cover your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even Vision Pro, for which we launched a native version earlier this year. Our plans also include Family Sharing, providing great value. While some competitors may not update their apps as frequently, we consistently enhance Screens to ensure compatibility with new platforms and features. We’re currently working on Screens 5.4, which will introduce even more features, with exciting updates ahead. We can be reached at screens@edovia.com if you have any questions or comments. Cheers!

Overpriced Subscription for VNC Client
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. Screens requires a subscription because ongoing revenue is essential for maintaining and enhancing the app. We're dedicated to providing a high-quality experience, and your support enables us to continuously improve the app with new features and updates. If you check the update history, you'll see that we consistently release improvements to make Screens even better. We also have exciting new features planned for later this year and beyond. While Screens may seem like "just a VNC client," we need to keep up with evolving technologies and changes in the ecosystem. For instance, we recently added support for Raspberry Pi Wayland, which required adapting to a different authentication method. Maintaining and developing an app requires significant time and resources, and the subscription model helps sustain these efforts. We appreciate your understanding and continued support. Thank you!
Rock Solid
Most of the functionality works on Vision Pro which is why I subbed, but here are a few ways to impr
-Allow the user to adjust the Bluetooth mouse’s movement sensitivity.
-Review the copy paste functionality, it doesn’t work consistently, and when it does (the first time), there is no ability to paste the copied text data, and subsequent copy or paste operations are ignored.
-Provide a configurable option to apply padding / spacing to the connected screen’s window (eg. when glancing at the start button on a windows VNC client, Vision OS thinks you’re about to resize the window from the bottom left anchor, you then need to look away from the start button while using your Bluetooth mouse to click the start button. Same scenario for the bottom right corner.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your input and want to assure you that we are considering the features you mentioned earlier this week. We strive to improve continuously and value suggestions from our users. Cheers!
Another lifetime license..?
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. The concept of a Lifetime plan was introduced with Screens 5. Before this, Screens used a paid-up-front model, including a license for the purchased version (v1, v2, v3, v4) but not upgrades to future versions, a policy in place since Screens 1.0 launched in 2010. With our switch to a subscription model, including the Lifetime plan, Screens 5 will receive ongoing maintenance and enhancements. There will not be future versions like v6 or v7; your Screens 5 plan ensures continuous access to the latest features and updates. Additionally, all plans, including the Lifetime plan, cover your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro. Previously, users had to purchase Screens separately for Mac and iOS. We sincerely believe that Screens 5 offers excellent value for the price. Have a wonderful day!
