Can’t connect.

This app used to work but since updating to latest iOS and MacOS, it now doesn’t connect at all. It also doesn’t look like anybody’s home on the app team. Too bad because it was a great free app for something that Apple should provide in the first place.

Golden gate

Not working Mac OS 27 golden gate screen sharing

Really cool

Would be awesome if there was a watch version too

Broken on golden gate

I’ve used this software for years to connect iPad to Mac, been really good. However on Golden Gate I get the error ‘incompatible protocol version’. Other vnc apps like Remina still work. Please fix this.

Incompatible with Macs

How can an app written for iOS be incompatible with my Mac screen sharing? Which users do developers expect here?

Does not support macOS 26.2/27 VNC hosts

Straight up fails to connect due to a protocol incompatibility.

FYI

Very good. Except I need to restart the system to get sinc time. Thanks

Great except for needing legacy VNC mode on macOS

Works but needs the “legacy” mode of an extra VNC password on macOS, because the ARD authentication fails. Took a lot of faffing about to understand why this wasn’t working!

不支持mac os 26.2

系统更新后 无法连接了 急需修复

Customer service horrible

App is wonderful. Customer service is absolutely the worst I’ve ever encountered.

Pointless and broken. Won’t connect to macOS newest version

Says the server or client is running incompatible version etc. can connect fine from another Mac to the same server. This app is broken.

Misleading charges

Be careful with this company they have hidden costs and then clam you own them for extra connections you never ordered. Not very helpful with customer support

Doesn’t work!!!

Used to work with Mac, now doesn’t!!

Can’t connect from iOS to macOS in LAN

This App can’t require network permission in China mainland devices model.

iOS 26.6 to macOS 26.6 fails

Security update broke the app. Can’t connect to macOS 26.6 systems.

Buenisima

Muy útil

Esta aplicación es muy recomendada, ligera y útil

Great App

Due to the emergence of AI, I mostly do my work to prompting and letting my Computer run all the time.

Controlling my computer, it’s full mobile makes a lot of my work very easier.

I use RVNC Viewer every day.

Nice

Pretty nice. I connect to my Linux computer and it’s like having Linux on my iPad.

No landscape mode

Its not like all PC screens have been landscape orientation for the past 30 years…
