### 5/5 — Works great for me!

*2024-05-05, version 5.9*

Excellent resource. I use it to manage the Macs on my home network. Has a few kinks in terms of UI, but what app from a small dev’ doesn’t?

### 5/5 — Nifty Little Bonjour Client

*2022-03-05, version 5.4*

Does exactly what I need; accessing my Mac upstairs when I’m too lazy to get off the couch. I probably use it twice a month to tinker with my Plex library. Am I a “power user”? No. Has it ever let me down? No.

### 2/5 — Problem

*2021-10-29*

Problem with the last update, connexion impossible with my two Pc

### 5/5 — Works great

*2021-05-11, version 5.3*

I’ve used this app for many years and continue to do so on a daily basis.
I have it set up to access my iMac on my home network and also via the internet whilst I’m away from home.
Setting it up for use on your home network is a doddle. Access from the internet can be a bit more tricky, you’ll need to make sure you have the desired ports open and you’ll need a DNS address service if you don’t have a static IP.
It’s not really for intensive use, it would be difficult to carry out complex tasks on your computer from your touchscreen smart phone. I use it for things like setting a download going whilst I’m out so it’s ready when I get home, or just checking the status of a backup, that sort of thing… and for these things it works perfectly well.

### 4/5 — Facial recognition

*2021-05-04, version 5.3*

Love this app but I hate that I need to enter my password every time my phone goes to sleep. I would give this app 5 stars if it had facial recognition. Thanks 

Tim

### 1/5 — NO REFUNDS

*2021-01-06, version 5.2*

Buyer beware. You are not able to refund if the app does not work as expected.

DO NOT buy if you are expecting to be able to connect to a FactoryTalk HMI.

### 3/5 — Needs to support Magic Keyboard

*2020-12-08, version 5.2*

I have been using this VNC app since the iPad first came out. However it does not support the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. So I am looking for another VNC client to spend money on.

### 5/5 — Aufgrund der sehr alten Bewertungen

*2020-07-09*

... möchte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen die aktuelle Version zu bewerten. Ich benutze Mocha VNC um ein Windows10 Notebook mit der DMX-Steuer-Software DasLight4 auf meinem iPad fernzusteuern, da es von DasLight leider keine iPad App gibt.

Das komplette Design inkl. der Einrichtung eines Clients finde ich auch nach all den Jahren noch immer etwas Benutzerunfreundlich und Lieblos gestaltet. Doch hat man seinen Client einmal so konfiguriert, dass der Finger/Pencil als ‚Mouse at Finger‘ agiert, und das Bild mit dem Schloß-Symbol festgesetzt und vor allen Dingen komplett im Vollbild auf die Displaygröße des iPad eingepasst wird, steht der Bedienung nichts mehr im Wege.

Einzig, dass der Bildschirminhalt nicht mehr übertragen wird, wenn das Display des Notebooks durch Zuklappen abschaltet, finde ich schade. Ich weiß aber nicht wo hier die Limitierung liegt. Ob bei Windows, dem VNC Protokoll, dem TightVNC Server, oder Mocha.

Ich gebe sehr gerne 4 Sterne, da die App macht was sie verspricht und ich mein Problem gelöst habe. Den 5. Stern gebe ich gerne, wenn das Design/Interface mal etwas schöner und Benutzerfreundlicher gestaltet wurde.

Es ist auf jeden Fall alles funktional und das ist das Wichtigste, daher gibt es eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Auch gegenüber RealVNC und dem RippleVNC.

### 4/5 — i PadでのVNCは色々あるが一番では

*2020-04-19*

VNCは代わる代わる試したが、マウスがそれなりに使える。
問題は、最近のバージョンアップが最新のiPadOSと合わないのか、
bulethoothマウス使うと、VNCではSmart keyboardが効かなくなる。早く修正されることを期待したい。

### 5/5 — Quality software that makes my life easier

*2020-02-04, version 4.9*

I have used Mochasoft RDP for years and now also use Mochasoft VNC as I have to administer Linux servers too.

Of all the RDP and VNC clients I've tried, these are easily the best designed and easiest to use. As an example just try doing right mouse click actions in other apps and then compare with how easy it is in the Mocha soft ones.

This VNC app and the corresponding RDP app save me so much time, since in combination with OpenVPN, I can administer whole heards of Windows and Linux servers from anywhere I have my phone.

My only suggestion for an improvement would be if connections could be grouped in to folders, but I understand most users don't have as many connections as I do.
