### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-03-11, version 2.8.0*

I called the number from a text I received about a security alert. They had me download the app, open my bank account which I have extra security settings turned on but then she wanted me to open my credit card app I asked if it was a scam she said no but when I said I’d contact the credit card company myself she hung up. I don’t trust them at all & should have know but…

### 1/5 — SCAM !

*2026-03-05, version 2.8.0*

This app is being used to scam people. The app allows people on other ends to view your screen and take control over your phone. Don’t be naive and don’t download this app. I called to get a refund on a merchandise from Sheen that I didn’t receive. So I called the number online and it prompted me to these people. That me download this app and they then use this app to look at my screen and all of my information. Luckily, I caught the scam in time and I hung up before I sent any money to them.

### 1/5 — RVNC

*2026-01-30, version 2.8.0*

This site is being used as part of a scam. Was looking for Yahoo Mail support . The female on the phone had me download this app, she was able to get into my phone . Gave me two passcodes 200 and 100. She linked me to another site where I had to put a passcode into a iTunes gift card … the code 200 was actually not a code, but it was implying I was buying a 200.00 gift card …. She reassured me I needed to do this, she got angry with me when I questioned her and told her I wasn’t doing this . She yelled and told me to enter the code . She then told me I wasn’t doing wasting her time . I’m embarrassed to say I got as far as I didn’t her but I had never called yahoo support before and thought this was an odd process but how they did things …. Such a scam …. Don’t fall for it or download this app .

### 1/5 — Fraudster and Scammers

*2026-01-29, version 2.8.0*

I call the number that I saw on google and they had an Indian accent with English names. First red flag he had me download this app and wanted me to go into my account. I didn’t feel comfortable and I told him no way. He hung up the phone on me. I called back and got someone else same accent with a different English name. He wanted me to go into my android phone to see my subscriptions and payment info which directed me to gift cards purchase. That’s when I had a feeling that they were scammers. After I asked him why am I into gift cards purchases. He hung up the phone on me. I called my bank immediately and spoke with the fraud department. Please be careful, do not download “REALVNC” it’s a scam!

### 1/5 — Do not trust

*2026-01-28, version 2.8.0*

I was, in my mind, attempted to be hacked. The caller sent a pop-up to my phone saying I attempted make a purchase and they said they were apple support and I needed this app for them to help and when I did what they said they could see everything on my phone and knew u had an acccoinr with my bank and I felt uncomfortable with the whole concersation so I m hung up and contacted apple support.

### 5/5 — Good app for work

*2026-04-20, version 2.8.0*

Don’t take this app in a negative way you can use it to help your employees and get connected with them

### 5/5 — Quality

*2026-02-19, version 2.8.0*

I read the other feedback where the gentleman was hacked. Unfortunately people use these items for scamming. That also happened to me, but this app worked really well. It is not the apps fault or the quality of the app that allowed someone to try to scam you.

### 5/5 — Scam

*2025-09-27, version 2.8.0*

This is a scammer’s app

### 5/5 — works perfectly, misconceptions

*2025-04-10, version 2.8.0*

the people who reviewed 1 star are just idiots who got scammed

### 5/5 — For Those Who Legitimately Use RealVNC

*2025-03-10, version 2.8.0*

I use RealVNC to access my computers and my family’s computers. This now allows me to access their mobile devices.

### 5/5 — Reviewers are Incompetent

*2025-03-01*

It’s unbelievable how many people are leaving terrible reviews because they got finessed on their own volition! It’s like me getting mad at Safari if I visited a malicious website and it stole my information… 😐 These people are inept and susceptible to social engineering. They should not be allowed on the App Store unless someone from Apple confirms why lol.

### 5/5 — Safe App! Reviews are for apps themselves, not scam stories.

*2025-01-04*

The users posting about scams and leaving 1 star reviews are so ignorant.   

So YOU installed an app bc a stranger told you to… But this app is at fault?!? Would you go crash your car bc the scammers told you to?

This app has been around since PCs had windows 2000. 

Learn to read up on an app before installing it. Also analyze the situation before allowing strangers to access your phone.

### 5/5 — Great application

*2024-11-29*

Got my issue fixed. 10/10 help

### 5/5 — The best for helping colleagues, friends & family

*2024-08-31*

I work in IT and use this constantly to help my colleagues, not to mention being support for friends and my family.

This app is indispensable to provide help when you can actually see what the person you’re trying to help is actually seeing.

For those complaining about getting scammed, I recommend using common sense. If you need support from Apple, look at their website for contact information, not Google or any other site. If someone calls you about a “problem” you’re having-hang up. No tech company is going to call you-they don’t work that way.

### 5/5 — Scam
