### 4/5 — Let me Repurpose an old iPad

*2025-10-12*

Breathed new life into an old iPad by letting me repurpose it as a VNC client. It works surprisingly well for such an ancient iPad (iOS9!) It's not perfect—there's no mouse acceleration, and the scroll wheel functionality is more sensitive than I would like, but hey it gets some more mileage out of an iPad that otherwise had one foot in the recycle bin.

### 4/5 — Muito bom

*2016-06-07*

Atendeu todas as minhas necessidades, rápido, pratico e estável nas conexões

### 1/5 — 软件下载了，如何安装

*2016-03-05*

我真是上当了，安装说明一点都不详细，被骗了

### 1/5 — Mr

*2015-04-02*

This app so crap absolutely don't get it !!!!

### 1/5 — Клон

*2014-09-25*

Это полная копия программы My Mac, которую я купил чуть раньше, только там встроенная покупка в 169 руб. а здесь сразу 169 платишь. Скриншоты не соответствуют реальному виду, нет нормального полно оконного отображения, нужно зумировать. Не работает сенсор, т.е. ткнул пальцем в место на экране и указатель курсора туда переместился. Думал что в этой проге сенсор и полноразмерный экран будут как в описании, но оказалась подстава.

### 1/5 — Regret d'achat

*2014-06-03*

Désolé, impossible de réaliser une connexion. Les Indications pour renseigner les cases vierges ne sont pas assez précises. Flou total, seule quelques explications en anglais mais non concluante. 
Je regrette mon achat et mon seul recours est de le supprimer de mon iPad. 
L'idéal serait une reconnaissance par wifi, de l'ordinateur allumé et l'accord préalable demandé pour une connexion sécurisé.

### 1/5 — Connect Desktop

*2013-12-30*

Agree, total piece of junk, anything that relies on forum support should pay me for wasted time. Spent an hour clicking on this downloading that.
totally unprofessional

### 1/5 — 환불될까요

*2013-11-23*

환불될까요,

### 4/5 — Super!..macht was es soll!!

*2013-11-19*

..und..is dank der,zwar englischen, guten Beschreibung sehr einfach zum Laufen zu bringen..nach kurzer Eingewöhnung super zu Händeln..von der Menüführung einfacher als Teamviewer..und läuft nich über fremde Server, da VNC..nur auf Audio muss man verzichten..

### 1/5 — bureau à distance

*2013-08-21*

Trop compliqué à configurer pour des novices! De plus, je me pose  des questions sur la confidentialité des infos perso sur le PC, par rapport aux modifications à apporter sur les paramètres réseau.
