Amazing.
This app does exactly what I was hoping- I have a MacBook Pro in my bedroom hooked up to a monitor that I love but try not to move it around too much (have a 12.9 iPad that is generally more portable) but I love macOS and prefer using it whenever I can. This app allows me to use my iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard and have macOS accessible- and if you have the upgraded subscription you don’t even have to be on the same network. I’m able to remote into the MacBook from 2000 miles away with limited lag. Couldn’t recommend more. The connection is stable and you can leave the app (like I am currently typing this in the App Store on iPad) and hop back in when you are done without having to login or refresh. It doesn’t reload in the background (unlike many other remote apps with the Xbox remote play as an example) and you can continue your work flow.Show lessDCNews
Stay Away—Far Away
I have tried this application on two occasions when I was away from the home computer for periods of 10 weeks to 10 months. In both cases the application failed after a few days—it proved to be less reliable than free remote offerings. Tech support was terrible—they don't seem to read the emails carefully, and invariably ask you to try something you have already tried (and addressed in the initial email) or they ask you to check something on the remote computer: HOW CAN THIS BE DONE WHEN I AM USING SPLASHTOP TO ACCESS THE COMPUTER. (For the record, I tested the streamer before leaving). Even for a hobbyist, this application does not make the grade. And, to top it off, after several fruitless email, I receive an email marking the problem as “solved.” I fear the only solution is to find another application.Show lessRelevartdlrow

If you still encounter any issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us again!No option to disable predictive text
It’s really stupid that this app doesn’t have any option to disable predictive text on the keyboard. This means entering passwords on the remote computer isn’t secure. This is a big security flaw that needs fixing.Hefndtrhhm

Thank you for your feedback! We will disable predictive text in the next iteration! In the meantime, you can disable predictive text also directly in the iOS options.It Does What I Need It To Do
I have been using Remote Desktop software as long as it has been around. This is the only one I have used for the Mac. It makes it simple. For no cost, I can access my Mac anywhere in my Wi-Fi area. For a nominal cost, I can access it anywhere in the world, as well as handle dual screens and some other advanced features. Easy to set up. I can’t remember the last time I have used a monitor connected to the Mac - it’s easier to just use this.
Note: Review based on accessing a Mac Mini remotely using a 2021 model of the iPad Pro (M1 Processor).Show lessmjb reviews
Latest verision introduces blurry screen
Using Personal version which has worked great forever but with latest update, Excel spreadsheets are blurry and not readable when initially going to them. They clear up after 5 seconds or so but this is extremely annoying and I cant find a workaround when searching online.Jms6212345

Sorry for any inconvenience caused, but WoL is a known issue with the latest Personal app running on iOS16. Our engineering team has addressed the issue and will fix it in the next release.Exceptional reliability and value
After almost a decade using Splashtop I can say I have never had a complaint. It simply works, and the features are great. I usually come up with at least one thing I think a software design team could add or improve, but I am not sure what else they could do to make it better. I have only tried a couple of other desktop streamers, but I keep coming back to Splashtop.Show lessFREE AWESOME
It's the best (PC user)
I'm a PC user and I use this to make iPad works as a tablet. I used Project Blue before but they have ended the beta version and now offering Astropad Studio with a ridiculous subscription price. Splashtop is definitely the best alternative and I'm really happy with it!freedzs
