  • Not for me

    The problem is mine. I was looking for an app that would let me connect from outside the same network, not on the same. So it didn't work for me.
  • In sum, this app turns your iPad (or iPhone/Touch) into a PC

    I have tried other remote desktop protocol (RDP) apps with little success. Either the mouse mapping was horrible or they required complicated firewall modifications. That's why I love this app! Setup was a breeze.

    I have used Windows Remote Desktop Protocol with my net book and my primary desktop machine for years. Perfect for using Photoshop remotely or crunching something that tequilas a lot of power. This app works just like windows RDP. I use it on my iPad and iPod Touch to access my desktop pc from across the room, use Skype, Photoshop, Filezilla, Dreamweaver, etc.

    One note: Only Windows 7 (or Vista) Business or Ultimate is RDP capable. If you use Windoz Starter or Home versions you need to upgrade becoz Microsoft left out RDP capability on basic/starter versions of Windows. This is no fault of the app developer.

    Second note: before you buy or install the app, go to the developer's site and download the helper program to your Windows computer then run it. It will tell you if your version of Windows is RDP capable.... Plus it will give you all of the settings you need to configure the iPhone/iPad app without any guess work!

    JUNE UPDATE I love this app! Every year I visit my brother in LA and take a lot of hardware with me. This year I left my pc at home and did everything from my ipad remotely... Pc... Browser sessions... Streaming flash video... Dreamweaver... From a 5 pound iPad. nice!!!!

  • very good software

    It's a very useful software.
  • Works excellent.

    Set it up in 5 minutes on my home network. Required minor setting changes. Now I am completely unrestricted on my iPad! Next step, set it up to my office....
  • Nope

    I spent good money and i found out that it doesnt work with my computer
  • Thank you!

    I was very impressed with this app, especially it's price in comparison to the other apps like it out there. I was happy with the ease with which I connected while away from home. I would like to see a right-click function added. That'd be great!
  • Excellent app

    I'm an IT professional and I find this app a "must have" in my toolkit. Works perfectly with absolutely no hassles. Beautiful in it's simplicity. I highly recommend it.
  • Very good apps

    Includes everything you need to remote.
  • Remote access

    I bought this app and I was very skeptical that it would work. It connects, it is not as fast as a direct connection, of course, but it works great. Without any 3rd party subscription based services. I am not an apple user. This is my first apple. I was able to manage set up without complication in under 20 minutes for both wifi and 3G config. Yes it two different set ups. I would buy this app over again. I did try a different remote app, 1st & was very disappointed! I would give 5 stars if connection speed were improved, moment is jerky and slow, especially with mouse. Huge delay w/ mouse. I could never use this method to design in a pinch. Unfortunately that is what I thought I could do w/ this iPad vs carrying my really heavy alien ware laptop around! iPad still fun! Love it!
