Glorious on duo

You guys have done it. The virtual retina display on duo is endgame. Nice work.

Für mich die beste App überhaupt!

Diese App ist nach einmaligem Kauf eine geniale Möglichkeit, sicher auf die verschiedensten PCs zuzugreifen und die Softwarepflege ist vorbildlich!

Works so good

The newest update was a game changer. It was always good, but know its almost like you are running Mac OS native on the ipad. It’s so much smoother and more responsive.

Incredible

I’ve been using this app for over 10 years. It’s excellent. Generally better than the MS RDP app, and it also supports VNC. Updated frequently. Excellent UI and lots of options for customizing how you interact with the remote machine. Machine list can be cloud synced. Optional Jump Desktop protocol. Just got iPhone Duo support even!

Just works

RDP that just works. Amazing Mac support. No subscriptions. And it was just updated for the iPhone Duo. What more to ask for!

Love it - it is fantastic to use with a iPhone Duo!

It’s been my favorite Remote Desktop for a long time - but this update to use the whole space of an open iPhone Duo is just the best productivity setup for any Nomad out there. Great job, guys! Thank you very much!!!

Best Remote Desktop App, but Frustrating iPadOS Issues

Update: Edge to edge has been fixed.
This is the BEST remote desktop app PERIOD!
Mace my iPad usable again and feels like I’m running native macOS on it.

I genuinely love Jump Desktop. It’s easily the best remote desktop app I’ve ever used, which makes giving it one star even more frustrating.

On my 13-inch iPad Pro, the iPadOS status bar overlaps the macOS menu bar when connected to my Mac. This makes it difficult to see or interact with menu bar items, including Control Center on the mac. The only workaround I’ve found is enabling Guided Access, which isn’t ideal.

Another issue is Command + Q. Naturally, when using my Mac remotely, I press Cmd + Q to quit an application, but this quits Jump Desktop instead. It would be great to have an option to forward this shortcut to the remote Mac. Not a deal breaker, but definitely something worth improving.

To the developers: You genuinely don’t deserve a one star rating. You’ve built an incredible app, and I really appreciate your work! I’m only giving it one star to draw attention to these issues, particularly the status bar overlap. I’ll keep updating this review and will happily raise my rating once that issue is fixed.

Keep up the great work!

Biggest update in years…for iOS 26?

Not even iOS 27 ready, thus no support for the iPhone Duo.

Edit: Duo support is actively being worked on in beta—thank you.

Wirklich gute RDP App

Ich bin wirklich begeistert. Habe diverse RDP Tools versucht und benutzt, aber diese vereint endlich alle Systeme (Mac, PC, Linux) und das ohne Abo. Die Konfiguration ist übersichtlich und die Verbindung und Darstellung bisher sehr stabil. Dafür zahle ich gern einen Festbetrag zum Kauf.

ブラック画面が出る

MacbookproにIPhoneから接続しその後切断した後Macでデスクトップ切り替えをすると一瞬ブラック画面が出る
壁紙を変更すると治るが接続するとまたバグる
接続した画面も非常に綺麗で操作も抜群なのでバグを直して欲しいaddrf

Love it!

This app makes logging into my Mac when I’m on the road but my Mac isn’t super easy. Works flawlessly every time. Grey Job! Now they just need to update the app for the iPhone Duo.

Great. Now it’s time for reviving an Android release

Pretty stoked this is a free update for iPad / iPhone. I remember paying for this app long ago and got some decent use out of it on iPhone 4 before switching to Android and buying it again. Then development stopped and I switched to another RDP solution, although I always admired the simplicity of Jump. If they bring it back to Android, I’d probably abandon my other tools.

Huge improvement in latest version

I’ve used this for a while and it was good but the display always required tweaking and fiddling around with and I was aware that I was using my iPad onto my Mac.

This latest update is fantastic - now that I’ve saved the changed setting in the app, I just launch it, enter my password and it’s like actually sitting at my Mac (but with a better display on my iPad Pro! The command keys all work and the icing on the cake was that my AirPods connected to the Mac when Jump did! Was was a good app has now become excellent.

Biggest update in years…for iOS 26?

Not even iOS 27 ready, thus no support for the iPhone Duo.

iPhone duo support please

Works greats until you get to the iPhone duo 😔

Absolutely Incredible Update! Now PLEASE Support iPhone Duo!

Jump Desktop just nailed it with their latest update. Match Retina Display on iOS looks absolutely fantastic on my iPhone 18 Pro Max. It’s crisp, smooth, and genuinely feels like the real screen. I can’t praise it enough!

And please, please, PLEASE bring that same level of first-class support to the iPhone Duo! Yours is the app I was most looking forward to trying on the Duo, especially after this incredible update. I really hope it gets the love it deserves!
