  • Great Remote access app

    Not going to lie, this app and the control it provides has saved me more time at work than I ever thought possible. I can set my renders to start before I get into work so I can have them finished by the time my commute ends. It help in live projection as well so I can turn all my projector on and warmed up before I even step foot in the venue. 5 across the board for ease of use, yet complex enough to deliver what is needed. And great support as well

  • Flawless remote access

    Best Remote Desktop access app I’ve found after an extensive search and testing. And it is at a price I can easily justify for something I don’t use often. But when I need it, it is a lifesaver!
    Works better, less laggy, fewer drops than TeamViewer.
    Setup may or may not have been convoluted... I don’t really remember that phase at this point. Once it was up and though, it has been smooth sailing. It just does what it promises, efficiently. 👍👍

  • Enterprise quality app to manage all my remote servers.

    Have your desktop computer with you at all times. Running a Windows or MacOS computer is even better with an iPad Pro. Its literally like having a full desktop on your iPad.

    Complete mouse control including click and drag as well as scroll wheel is available as is a full keyboard with all the extended keys you'd expect on a real keyboard.

    If you want to access your computer from an outside network, like over an LTE connection you'll need to open up and forward some ports on you home or office router or preferably, for more security, use a VPN. Once properly configured, you'll be able connect to and control your personal computer(s) from anywhere in the world over any network.

    Highly recommended.

  • Great App

    I have been using another desktop remote for years and been struggling with connectivity. This product is dependable and communicates accurate with my remote desktop. For years, the other product would duplicate, delete or make my life miserable when I was traveling and needed access to my computer at home. I have not yet tested it from abroad, but I so far it has made my access much easier here in the US.

  • Great Solution

    My 90 year old mother frequently calls me needing reminders about how to do various things on her computer. This app makes it easy for me to see what she is seeing and perform functions as necessary. The entire setup only took a few minutes and the account that fits my situation was surprisingly %100 free. I’m really grateful that this is available.

  • Best vnc viewer, and issues with iPad Pro 10.5" resolved!

    Update again on February 19:
    With combination of latest VNC update (3.4.0) and iOS 11.2.5, the app crashing issue seems to be resolved.

    Thanks again to the great support and software from RealVNC!

    Updated February 19:

    The update just pushed out today (3.4.0) definitely made an attempt at dealing with app crashes on iPad Pro 10.5" using smart keyboard.

    Most of the time, the single quote and double quote work just fine.

    However, the pesky app crash still occurs, but much less often.

    I tried playing with all of the keyboard settings, both for physical and logical keyboard, on iOS settings pages without complete success.

    I will update my support request with this latest feedback...

    ---
    I saw the developer response to the sudden crash when using the quote or double quote key on the iPad Pro hardware keyboard (not bluetooth).

    I tried the workaround by turning off auto punctuation, but the app. still is crashing.

    At least I know what key causes it now, but this is extremely frustrating.

    I have been using Real VNC products pretty much from the very beginning, and have always been impressed with the quality of the products.

    Please push out a fix for this ASAP and I will add a star back to this review.

  • Skeptical at first, but it’s AWESOME!

    I wasn’t expecting too much from this app because it’s free and because I figured that it was probably more a gimmick than a productivity tool. Boy was I wrong. I try to install this directly onto a vpn, that didn’t work, so I installed in on my home computer and now I have access to both my computer and my full VPN from the home computer desktop, from my phone. I just made my phone 100 times more powerful. I can actually do anything now on the go, if I really have to. It’s unbelievable! And the controls work well; never had an issue with the keyboard, the gestures like tap and hold to move objects work well, and the mouse tool works well. Not sure about some of the negative reviews, but this app has changed my life, my view of my phone, and the things I can get done. I have now recommended this app to several people, some just couldn’t believe a phone could do that. And it’s free!! I am using an iPhone X by the way. No issues. Thank you devs for this app.

  • Very Easy to Use. Occasionally Unreachable but Still Great Overall

    Sometimes it says that the server isn't currently listening for connections. But it usually works if you exit and try again in like 10-15 minutes. Other than that, this app is great (and free!). I'm only using this to monitor 2 Windows 10 OS computers from my mac. But this is definitely a service that I would subscribe to when the time comes. I mean just look at the fact that the developer actually responds to reviews. At least for me, it really shows that RealVNC cares about the customer and their experience.

  • Now a very useful app...

    Had problems with early versions of this app with getting it to work consistently with my Mac mini server. I played around with more expensive more complex solutions. Nothing stuck. Now trying it out after a few years away and it works rock solid on my iPad Pro, especially since it can now use Apple Remote Desktop. Indispensable!

  • Sleeping Bug

    Great app. Best way to control your computet from your phone hands down! But app os basically useless because for some reason whenever I use the app, my computer screen goes black whenever I put my phone to sleep. Cant use for watching any videos or movies, which is the main reason I use the app. Not sure if its my computer or the network or the app, but it only does this with this app and nothing else. Hopin for an update or something to fix this bug or add options allowing to control sleep and wake time and control.
