Works on AVP but bluetooth mouse is glitchy, needs AVP overhaul

AVP version (well, the iPad version) now works pretty well. The mouse cursor still tends to jump all over to match the gaze during interruptions (instead of just staying where the cursor was last used) when using a bluetooth mouse with AVP. I think what honestly needs to happen is a version specific to AVP (there are dozens of us!) for the power users who are trying to connect to many remote hosts in an AR space. Please feel free to charge $200 USD for this version, I just need the best for my work. Thanks.

I love it

Nice software for remote control (IPad -> Mac mini)

No Linux support apparently

ChatGPT recommended this to connect to my Linux desktop. Well, after paying $15 for it, it doesn’t work at all and the forums indicate the developer has no plan to fix it.

Just amazing

One time purchase has led to me thousands of hours of use. So amazing wish more apps were unlimited like this

Connection quality so bad

I connect my iPad with my Mac via same wifi, but the graphic quality is so bad, not clearly, especially when I scroll the page. Disappointed.

Outstanding RDP App

As a long-term user of Parallels Access (a ‘free’ RDP app that came bundled with Parallels Desktop licenses), I was left high-and-dry when Parallels elected to deprecate their RDP app.

Jump Desktop immediately stood out as a good alternative and since purchasing it I haven’t looked back: functionally superior to Parallels Access, upon which I had previously depended, and great value for money.

Needs update

Icon needs an update asap, i have to keep it hidden with faceid because it looks really bad on iOS18+, especially on iOS26+. Please fix it.

Did not work at all

I spent all night with ChatGPT trying different configuration combinations and none worked for remote access.

I wish I knew this before I paid for this useless software.

Lag

The app is not performing well, the latency is huge even with enterprise grade network at home

Great app - Onshape dedicated gestures would be awesome -

Happy to work with you on Onshape dedicated gestures as a power user - just trying out Mac at home iPad on the go remote in for the heavy lifting as Onshape not supported in desktop browser stupidly - also if I could just get full display rather than the gap at the bottom however you wanna do it that would be lovely thanks

It just works!

Ive tried many different remote desktop solutions but im blown away how fluid and easy Jump is, no fuss connects and works with all iPad accessories seamlessly (like the magic keyboard / trackpad) Perfect app!

Only SSH DSA and RSA keys supported

This app only supports SSH DSA and RSA keys. Both of these are no longer supported by OpenSSH. Needs an update to use modern algorithms!

Great smooth UI

One caveat on mobile: keyboard keeps overlapping inputs on the screen when it pops up

Need update!

App is good but no update since 2-years is disappointing

Needs update

Icon doesn’t match on iOS or macOS dev needs to update them

Incredible Value

All devs take note. This is what good software looks like.

Absolute beauty!!

I have to say the way this app has been created and the way the developers have thought of all the small things, its just unbelievable! I was struggling with a slow mouse speed and then got to know that jump desktop has a feature to lock the mouse cursor and set a custom speed for my physical mouse which has been an absolute game change! Thanks again for your service :) This is an absolute banger for the price.

Missing Modern Linux Support

Jump used to be my go-to Remote Desktop app, however development seems to be stalled and the app is lacking support for modern key types and Gnome Remote Desktop.

Battery drain is crazy

I love this app but when it’s on the background on my iPhone it drains like 70% in 4 hours if I don’t force close it. Please fix this. iPhone Air latest ios

Way more complicated that it seems to be worth

I was trying to connect my ipad and Mac Neo to my Mac Mini 4 but i kept going in circles. If i cant figure this in another day I will just ask for a refund. Also not a lot of instruction on YT either. Ugh!
