  • Great tool

    Great tool, used it for years. TeamViewer is terrible in comparison. I think its good value.
  • ## UPDATED ## Doesn’t Work

    iPad Pro, iOS 15.5. 2 Macs running Splashtop Streamer. App crashes trying to connect. UPDATE: After playing around with it, I got it to work in local mode by setting a security password on the Streamer (Mac) side and in the configuration on the client (iPad) side. If the configuration has a blank password, it just crashes when it should prompt for password. Also, the password isn’t always saved in the configuration and must be entered again.

  • DISTORTED AUDIO ON IPAD

    Super useful app. The only way for me to have a headless Mac mini setup for playing live midi VSTi. Only issue is, that it does something to the audio sample rate and any audio coming from the iPad sounds distorted. So I have to close this app before I play any audio plugin or any other audio source. I hope it gets fixed soon. Three stars until then from me.

  • Pay for Pen Pressure?

    I decided to give this app a try to see if I can use my PC art programs with a more portable tablet option. The app on its own is great and functions very well. I recommend it to anyone who needs to access their PC at home but aren’t able to physically reach it.
    My issue comes in when I can’t get my apple pencil to function as a tool rather than another finger. Looking into it, I found it’s a pay-to-use feature to have stylus support. While this alone isn’t a big issue, I don’t want to have to pay a regular fee for a feature that could be a single transaction.
    It’s more a kick of sand in the consumers’ face that the enterprise version seems to be the only version of the app that actually supports the use of styluses.

    Hello Bill, thanks for your comment. Yes, at the moment the only product that contains our remote stylus feature is Splashtop Enterprise as it is mainly used for graphical work in the art or architectural space. With Splashtop Personal you can still use your stylus to simulate a finger input but it will not be recognized as a stylus and therefore won't differentiate between tilt and pressure of the pen. We are considering to add this feature to other products in the future but we also hope you understand that different products have different sets of feature, functions and use cases. Thank you and you can always contact us if you need assistance in the future!
  • I use it daily

    I’m disabled and can’t use keyboard and mouse so I work through Splashtop. It’s a lot better than RDP, but many issues have remained for years with no fix. frame rate stuttering is still a problem, as is issues with some software’s mouse polling. It’s also developed new problems on iPad Pro, the on-screen buttons (which I pay subscription for) can’t be deleted, and sometimes get culled when outside of the normal iPad resolution. I’d jump ship if I knew a fitting replacement.

  • Ok but doesn’t work well with ipad multitask mode

    The app in general is ok to use. Not as good as teamviewer in terms of connection quality, but overall experience is good. However a big issue for me is that whenever I drag another app as a small window hover on the side of the screen, the keyboard input to the remote desktop is disabled. And this issue remains even I closed the other small window. Then I have to disconnect and reconnect with my remote desktop again.

  • Resolution choice not working

    After updating to the latest version, setting resolution to 1024x768 is ignored upon connect and goes to max resolution. Passcode is also no longer saved after connect and no matter what i do there seems no way to connect with the smaller resolution.

    Developer Response

    Hi, sorry to hear that you are having issues with the resolution. Please try to uninstall the app and reinstall it again. If the issue persists, please reach out to us at https://support-splashtoppersonal.splashtop.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and let us know your Splashtop account is, thank you!
  • Good app - but

    It’s a good app, works well with iPad. However the resolution setting need fixing. You need to offer 1600x1200 which is the best resolution for Ipad pro 12.9.

    Developer Response

    Hi, thanks for your comment! I have forwarded your request to our product team! At meanwhile, you can adjust your remote computer's resolution to 1440 x 1050 as well. If you have any additional questions, or anything else you want to add, please reach out to us at https://support-splashtoppersonal.splashtop.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
  • Yyy

    I like Splashtop but it’s a bit too Lagi
  • Used to be great

    I’ve used Splashtop for years and it was always flawless but the recent update 3.4.4.4 on the PC side causes a blue screen crash the instant I connect with my IPad Pro. I went back to an earlier version but now it hangs every couple minutes and I have to disconnect and reconnect. I opened a ticket 20 days ago and have sent numerous logs and screenshots. Splashtop support completely ignores me. Zero response to multiple requests for status. This used to be the best app. Now it’s the worst.
