Almost fully meet my use case, want to report one bug.

First I have to thank you the developer(s) to provide this app and make it free. This is very nice of you. :) There‘s one issue while using the virtual keyboard (or maybe the physical keyboard as well), when I want to type the character „y“, it always jumps out character „z“. I know this is probably a software compatibility issue between „de“ (German) keyboard layout and the default „en“ layout in the app. I hope the developer(s) can fix this issue. Sorry to forget mentioning the involved system, this happens between using IOS app on the phone and Ubuntu PC OS. Look forward to seeing a better performance of this app! Thanks in advance! :)

Response from developer

Hello Captain A1exander, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues. As per our general guidelines, please ensure that the virtual keyboard language matches your desktop language: this is required for accurate key mapping. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact us at info@nomachine.com. We’re happy to help.

Well done. Works great. Just one problem.

I used it to access my home desktop from my office for a whole week and loved it. Thank you for the trial.
I’m willing to pay for a year of service but only if I can purchase it through the Apple App Store instead of entering my credit card information through the developers website.
I’ll be back when that’s possible.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback, we’re thrilled you liked our application. Just to clarify: the iOS app itself is completely free, and there’s no in-app purchase required to use it. The Network service you mentioned is an optional, separate service that enables connections from any device to any device, not just iOS devices. Because it is a cross-platform service and not part of the iOS app itself, it isn’t something that can be purchased through the App Store. If you decide to enable the Network service, you can do so through the NoMachine website. You can continue using the iOS app for free and connect to your machines via their IP address. If you have any questions about how the service works or what it includes, please contact us at info@nomachine.com.

Edit from 1 Star: Works great !

When I first tried this service, I could not get it to work. But the developers responded to my review and we exchanged emails and we got it working on my systems! I will always respect active and responsive owners of services. The issue I was facing was not opening a port on the computer I was connecting to, doing that allowed me to connect when it was failing to before.

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to help. We’re glad we could work together to resolve the issue and get everything running properly on your system. Opening the required port is a common step that can be easily overlooked, so we appreciate you pointing it out for other users. If you need any assistance in the future, please feel free to reach out anytime.

Does not work.

I don’t want to use the network, and I can’t connect via IP. I was hoping it would be simple and nice like people were saying, so I’m kinda bummed.
