  • Too little to late

    This app was absolutely unusable for months after iOS updates. They layout never changed or scaled in portrait and landscape, and all you could see was half the screen at any given time and no controls. A simple thing to make this app useable went unaddressed and emails unanswered for months. Hopefully it’s working, but the lack of support, even when paying, is a total deal breaker. I dumped this a while back and got our systems on something that’s maintained and actually addresses issues in a timely manner.

  • I Want To Love This

    Needs support for Magic Keyboard.
    I’m ok with there not being true 1:1 pixel resolution on a remote connection. Nomachine does a good job making the scaling usable.

    But when connected to my Linux remote, on an iPad Pro (m1) the magic keyboard does not register at all. The trackpad works, including scroll, but no key presses are registered.

    This is too bad, because this is an otherwise great remote access system. We would consider an Enterprise subscription for work if this was resolved. Being able to get our coders on a Linux desktop from anywhere with no hardware requirement (the app runs on nearly anything) is a great selling point, but this app needs updating.

    Thanks for taking the time to try our app and submitting your feedback on 8.4.3 (updated early March). Is the keyboard not working at all within the NoMachine remote desktop connection or is it partially working (some keys are, some keys aren't)? Or are the keys scrambled? (i.e when pressing keys, you get different characters to what you're expecting). You can edit your current review to provide this information or you can contact us directly at info@nomachine.com if you prefer. Thanks!
  • Brilliant

    Thanks for updating this app for the latest iPadOS, it is great to have it back.
    I use it on all my local network machines and absolutely love it.

    Thanks again

  • Empty Promises with no Delivery

    Still broken on iPad for well over 6 months. You will see promises to update the app in response to many reviews. What you don't see is any hint of when that might happen. At this point waiting isn't the answer. Not with something we rely on. I need a working solution from a developer who can update the app as needed. I just can't recommend this as a viable solution any longer. There really does come a point where you just gotta move on. Dropping support for iOS would have looked better than months of being broken. Update: I did download the newest version with the patch keyboard works again. The app still has lost all my saved connections. It can not detect the other devices on the network running NoMachine.

  • Terrible on iPhone and iPad

    Update for version 8:
    Still terrible but at least the app actually opens and functions.
    1. Display is squished into the ipad resolution. Even when you choose 1:1 its not. There is no true 1:1 zoom and no “Fit to Screen” so you either get a thumbnail in the middle of a black screen or a squished view Thats supper grainy.
    2. The ipad keyboard doesn’t work? Seriously ?
    3. No auto discovery - if you have a lot of host be prepared to enter them all manually.

    Maybe in a few more years there will be another update?

    —————————————————-
    On ipad its completely unusable because the tutorial image is misplaced and there is no way to dismiss it. Completely worthless. On iPhone the developers clearly do not test. The app covers native us and hardware elements like the notch and the app switcher at the bottom. App UI elements run right to the very edge of the screen making it hard to use. Rotate the phone? Nope, that just gives you a black screen. A real shame because this all works very well on Mac, PC and Linux.

  • Effectively broken since iOS 16

    No longer usable on my 2016 iPad Pro 9.7” as the app loads shifted 1/8th of the screen right, leaving the right hand side of the screen black / useless. Upsetting for such a great high quality service.

    Developer Response

    The update is coming lateparty and you'll be able to submit a new review based on NoMachine version 8 for iOS :-)
  • Sad, NoMachine, No Works on iPad…

    After iPad ios 16 this is broken. Moving to another vendor.
  • Simply no longer works and hasn’t been updated for years

    Installs ok, but just hangs. Absolutely useless and needs to be fixed.

    Developer Response

    Please update to the latest version (v8) and let us know that your issue is fixed by updating your feedback. Thanks for your patience.
  • DEAD ON IPAD

    Just shows part of an intro screen, no way to continue. Uninstalled and tried again—no joy. I really like NoMachine on other systems, but it’s toast on iPad.
