  • Excellent but need small improvements

    This app is great the quality is excellent and full hd. It is only worth using If u have the pro version for 2.99 which is worth it if u use remote viewing as the mouse drag is only possible with pro.
    I'm waiting patiently for updates to access Mac from outside of LAN as this is not possible to wake a sleeping Mac.
    It's 5 star if only using it within own wifi

    I downloaded the free version and tried it with UBUNTU. It worked great!!! The same night I bought the full version and am very pleased with it. I have an Ad hoc wireless connection setup within ubuntu, so I can use it anywhere, not just where there is wireless internet. I just recently used it at a large conference where I spoke, and I was able to wirelessly control a PDF presentation from the platform via my iPad. I also used it to control music and video playback through a projector and sound system to which I connect my laptop. This is a great app that allows you to remotely do just about anything you could do from in front of your computer. It is definitely worth the price.

  • Not quite there....

    Installed after a couple or three tries. You must have a password to be authenticated, blank will not do. Once connected, I was impressed with the clarity and crispness of the screen. I could move the mouse pointer but I could never get a tap on the screen to work like a click of the mouse. The keyboard worked, but not the mouse. I tried setting it up with my dyndns address to see if I could access my Mac from outside my home network. No such luck. So, it was a fun little exercise but in the end it has no value to me.

  • Not easy

    I'm not sure quite what I hoped to do with this App. It was so difficult to set it up and get it going that my hopes are rather dashed. I found the whole business quite difficult but now having sorted it out it all seems rather simple. My advice would be to read the instructions very carefully and consider EXACTLY what they mean. Be sure that you understand what passwords the instructions talk about. I fear that I may have upset my iMac's workings with all the changes I made trying to get it all going. However lots of fun to come to see if I can do things I want with it.

  • It just works (pro version)

    I originally downloaded the lite version and it worked fine connecting to one PC which happens to be a Mac. I upgraded to PRO so I could connect to another Mac and to an Ubuntu client. After setting up desktop sharing aka screen sharing on a Mac it worked fine. I would suggest static IP addresses instead of variable ones as you have to change IP address every time you. Boot up, especially if not the same order. The HELP forums are quite useful.

  • Confused

    Can anyone help me out with my case? I have a Macbook Pro that runs on OS X Lion and I followed all the steps for setup on the developers forum but whenever I typed in the password on my iPad to go onto and see the Mac screen, I always get this message "Authentication Failed" and below it it says that my password is incorrect. Can anyone clarify to me what password we are supposed to use or do we use the one that we log into the computer with. Is there anything else that I could possibly be doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. The looks good on the images and I cant wait to try it out myself but first I have got to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance!!

  • Somewhat useful

    It's nice when I want to do something quick that my iPad won't do, like flash. I bought the full version to get the added convenience of the touchpad and function buttons. My support experience was very slow, but it could have been because of the holidays. A least they resolved my issue in a single email. The app is worth it, free or paid version.

  • Works Perfectly

    Better than AirDisplay, that's for sure, considering I paid $10 for AirDisplay only to find out that MacBook Pros from '08-10 aren't compatible. Oh, you mean a majority of MacBook Pros in people's possession? If this app doesn't work for you, you're just incompetent & that's not the publisher's fault. For free, it's nice. But for real functionality, like control, alt, and shift keys - you'll need the full version. Which is priced reasonably at $5.00. I would recommend this. Especially over AirDisplay. Seriously, don't buy that.

  • I get both sides

    LIsten here's the thing.... This following review is neither a good or bad one for this app. I COMPLETELY!!! Understand how some users out there can easily be frustrated with this app. It comes with extremely poor instructions, it's soooo not user friendly, and yes the support site does come off as insulting to the clients. However I happen to be one of the lucky ones who did get this app to work for free. It was not easy and certainly not headache free. Once I did get it working I must say it did do the trick. I haven't had much experience with other similar apps but for an app that promises to remotely control my desktop it did just that. Yes the whole point of an apple product is to make life easy and yes it should be effortless and user friendly but every once in a while you come a cross certain apps that require mind splitting effort or zen like patience to get started. That being said I paid nothing,,, I spent 5min intervals working on setting it up so not to completely waste my time and now it works. Do I recommend this app???? Maybe to those who understand that not everything can be easy or perfect all the time every first shot. Does it need improvement????? HELL YESS!!!!! Is the price worth it????? Listen free is free is free is free ... If you don't get it going after an hour max of trying just delete it and move on don't go spending money to fix a free problem. But in the words of my main man Denzel washington " what do I know I'm just a factory worker for god sakes "
