You could do a lot of things and submit scripts from your phone very easily. Display is intuitive ### 2/5 — Bad product support *2026-06-11, version 4.9.4* Tech support is really bad, and very automated. Bugs are never fixed. ### 5/5 — iPad Pro M4 magic keyboard now working *2026-06-09, version 4.9.4* It has taken a while, but so nice to be able to finally use my iPad Pro M4 with the magic keyboard with the update released today. ### 4/5 — Muy práctica y fácil de usar *2026-05-20, version 4.9.3* Es una muy buena app la uso para conectarme a mi raspberry pi 5 y funciona de sorprendente bien, tiene algunos detalles como el hecho de que si se usa el mouse conectado a la raspberry en lugar del iPad el mouse no funciona, pero fuera de eso muy recomendada ### 4/5 — Chas *2026-05-13, version 4.9.3* Paste function doesn’t work properly on IOS devices ### 4/5 — Great app, but… *2026-05-07, version 4.9.3* When are you going to the fix issue with iPadPro Magic Keyboard? ### 1/5 — Unusable on iPad *2026-04-29, version 4.9.3* If you are trying to essentially remote-into a system and use as if you’re in front if it from an iPad, this will not work. There is an “extra keys” menu that must be visible for your Bluetooth keyboard to be able to send to the host machine, and it makes a large portion of the bottom of your screen completely invisible. ### 2/5 — Cannot use special characters *2026-04-27, version 4.9.3* I use “option characters” (special characters while holding down the option key) as my password, unfortunately the soft keyboard in this app is not able to produce the same characters, therefore I can’t log into my Mac via this app. ### 5/5 — Excelente App *2026-04-26, version 4.9.3* Lo uso siempre cuando no quiero levantarme a manejar la computadora, más que nada para ver programas de TV ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pointless and broken. Won’t connect to macOS newest version *2026-08-20, version 4.9.4* Says the server or client is running incompatible version etc. can connect fine from another Mac to the same server. This app is broken. ### 1/5 — Misleading charges *2026-08-11, version 4.9.4* 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 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!!! *2026-08-06, version 4.9.4* Used to work with Mac, now doesn’t!! ### 1/5 — Can’t connect from iOS to macOS in LAN *2026-08-02, version 4.9.4* This App can’t require network permission in China mainland devices model. ### 1/5 — iOS 26.6 to macOS 26.6 fails *2026-07-28, version 4.9.4* Security update broke the app. Can’t connect to macOS 26.6 systems. ### 1/5 — No landscape mode *2026-07-01, version 4.9.4* Its not like all PC screens have been landscape orientation for the past 30 years… ### 1/5 — Slow clap for the devs….. *2026-06-09, version 4.9.4* Wow….NINE months after the release of iOS 26 RealVNC releases an update for it that finally fixes the keyboard issue. Unfortunately I’ve moved on to a better supported app. You should do the same. ### 1/5 — Update *2026-05-25, version 4.9.3* Says I need to update to latest version even after I reinstall. ### 1/5 — Best forever ever *2026-05-22, version 4.9.3* Best, no more word ### 1/5 — Не работает ввод на русской раскладке *2026-05-03, version 4.9.3* Печатаю по русски, половина букв на вводит ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Buenisima *2026-07-14, version 4.9.4* Excelente ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2026-07-09, version 4.9.4* Esta aplicación es muy recomendada, ligera y útil ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-08, version 4.9.4* Due to the emergence of AI, I mostly do my work to prompting and letting my Computer run all the time.
