It now it never connects. I don’t know what’s wrong with it. I believe I am savvy enough to troubleshoot. But to me this app is broken. ### 3/5 — Gutes Tool aber die UX muss modernisiert werden. *2023-10-24* Die App ist stabil und bietet mit dem Full Package auch alles was man so braucht. Das UI ist aber altbacken und braucht dringend eine Modernisierung Vereinfachung und mehr Ergonomie. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-08-29* I bought and have used Remoter VNC for many, many years. I thought I was a fan for life. Now it's entirely unusable because the developers can't be bothered to maintain it. It doesn't work well, when it works at all, on neither my Air 3 nor iPad Pro. At one point it was the best remote desktop out there. How the mighty have fallen... all the way to the bottom. **Developer response:** Is the apostrophe not working through the keyboard? Please reach out through support@remoterlabs.com or https://www.facebook.com/RemoterLabs/ and I'll be happy to help! ### 3/5 — App is good while it’s working but there is no support *2023-08-22* Had a problem but the only faq resource is years old and no other way to raise the issue. ### 2/5 — Outdated *2023-08-03* Does not work well with modern iPadOS features. No mouse/touchpad support, no support for external displays with state manager etc. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t keep session alive *2023-02-03* Very annoying that it doesn’t keep VNC session alive if you go go another app for a few seconds. Seems like an obvious bug. ### 2/5 — Läuft auf iPad Pro nicht mehr zuverlässig *2022-11-28* War mal richtig super. Hat aber wohl schon lange kein Update mehr erfahren. Mausklick funktioniert oft nur wieder, wenn man sich neu verbindet. Bitte korrigieren ### 1/5 — Still broken, still a ripoff *2022-10-30, version 6.1.4* This app has been broken for a while now. I’d rate zero stars if I could. Crashes on attempting to open any kind of connection. It should be removed from the App Store as a scam/orphaned/abandoned application. ### 2/5 — App used to work fine *2022-10-26* It appears this app is no longer being updated. Stay away from it. ### 1/5 — Mistakes *2022-09-13, version 6.1.4* I had mistake and my son buy this i want refund 😔 ### 3/5 — Still no Wake on Lan - iPadOS 15.6 *2022-07-28* Just installed iPadOS 15.6 and latest 6.1.2… still no WoL functioning! I have to rely on another iOS app to trigger WoL, then I can use your app! ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-07-11* Doesn’t work well, used to years ago. Even Apple can’t find that I purchased this years ago, even though i can restore app purchases for it. (When I try to make a complaint, Apple says can’t find that i purchased this.) Apple fix this, yes i purchased it and it’s in my history. Still, can’t ssh, etc. into any functional server using this software. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Price misleading *2026-06-18, version 6.2.6* Reported to apple as fraud ### 1/5 — Wayvnc *2026-03-09, version 6.2.5* Does not support the wayvnc server on a raspberry pi ### 1/5 — Hidden fees *2026-02-13, version 6.2.5* After you buy app it asks for additional 9$ to use RDP lol ### 1/5 — Can‘t connect any more *2025-04-02* I cannot connect via ssh anymore to a local machine from an iPad Air with iOS18. SSH addon was purchased and is installed… It works, however, from other machines, so it looks like a REMOTER problem… ### 1/5 — Sympathy for those who paid for this *2025-02-09, version 6.2.1* All of the guides and tutorials for setting up this prehistoric app are gone from their official website. Video links are all gone. YouTube links show that the video is unavailable. Website links for setting up returns a blank page. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-01-18, version 6.2.1* 1.18.25 The latest update fixed nothing because of course it didn’t. 12.22.24 Just when you thought they couldn’t break this app more, they do. The app now only uses a fraction of my iPad Pro screen and there’s no way to make it bigger without cutting off part of my view. Do the developers even test this stuff before they release it? You’d be hard pressed to prove it by me. I didn’t get a chance to try it because it’s just too small to see, but I’m sure the apostrophe on the iPad Pro still doesn’t work either. It’s a safe bet, it’s been broken for years and up until the last update it still hadn’t been fixed. 9.29.23 Update fixes absolutely nothing. Still get a black screen constantly. Can't connect at all on Pro. Still garbage. Last week: I bought and have used Remoter VNC for many, many years. I thought I was a fan for life. Now it's entirely unusable because the developers can't be bothered to maintain it. It doesn't work well, when it works at all, on neither my Air 3 nor iPad Pro. At one point it was the best remote desktop out there. How the mighty have fallen... all the way to the bottom. ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2024-12-28* Don’t waste a download. App opens and closes immediately. ### 1/5 — Now fraudulent, no website, all recent reviews say it doesn’t work *2024-06-30, version 6.1.5* Now fraudulent, no website, all recent reviews say it doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Desastre *2024-04-04, version 6.1.5* Imposible usarlo muy mal explicado y lo he tenido que Desi star ### 1/5 — no dice for rdp running on pop os. buggy *2024-01-08, version 6.1.5* it doesnt connect ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App, but no user maunal *2026-03-03* Took me quite awhile to figure it out, all works. Sadly no support or manual ### 5/5 — Most Versatile *2026-02-15* I have been using Remoter VNC for over seven years, and it remains the most versatile remote-connection app I have used for iPad. I tested other similar apps at or near the same price, but Remoter VNC is the one on which I rely. ### 5/5 — Great for all in one app but *2025-11-11* Been using this app for a while now and for the most part it gets the job done. One really needed feature it’s missing is syncing via iCloud. It really would make things better to keep connect between Mac, iPad and iPhone updates. Dropbox is a nice option but bit dated at this point in time. ### 5/5 — Copy and paste *2025-09-21* Would be nice to have copy and paste functionality ### 5/5 — Ottima e funzionale *2025-04-30, version 6.2.1* Un app davvero ottima, funzionale e pratica, semplice da usare ed impostare, consigliatissima! ### 5/5 — iPadで起動できなくなった *2025-01-06* update後、iPadで起動できなくなった。 非常に有意義に利用していたので残念です。 もし、修正が可能であれば、是非、iPadで起動できるようにお願いします。 ### 5/5 — Ottima qualità/prezzo *2022-10-16, version 6.1.4* Bravi, era quello che ci voleva al giusto prezzo!!! Testato il semplice collegamento con i vari computer (mac) domestici. A mio avviso solo un po macchinoso controllare il puntatore da remoto se si vogliono utilizzare Mission Control, Dashboard, Sfogliare le pagine o controlli simili. 4 stelle piene. ### 5/5 — Immer zuverlässig (vergesst teamviewer) *2022-03-10* Voll zufrieden, zuverlässig, und selbst auf meine dumme Rückfrage (hätte ich mit Gehirn einschalten selbst lösen können), antwortete der Entwickler prompt und half mir. Mit GoodReader zusammen meine Lieblingsapp! ### 5/5 — Remoter *2021-05-30, version 6.0.1* This tool functions better overall than Microsoft’s Remote Desktop client. ### 5/5 — Works Great *2021-05-21, version 6.0.1* Allows me to access my remote systems to check on status and conditions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
