### 4/5 — Great app, crashes on drag

*2026-04-26*

Well made app and works as expected in almost all cases. No matter what I try, it crashes as soon as you click and hold to drag something on the remote host. The circle appears, then once you drag it crashes. iPhone 17pro latest iOS on a Mac host latest os. Please fix!

### 4/5 — Замечательно

*2025-03-15*

Не хватает адаптации под внешний экран, подсоединяемый через док. станцию, как сделано в моб. приложении приложении Виндовс от Майкрософт

### 4/5 — Langer Verbindungsaufbau

*2024-09-07*

Der Verbindungsaufbau dauert teils schon extrem lange, danach arbeitet die App aber zuverlässig. Ich habe einige bereits ausprobiert (MS, Jump). Bisher war diese die beste für mich.

### 4/5 — Great!  Needs multi-login support

*2024-06-11, version 8.4*

Love this app!  Does need multi-login support.  Please consider adding this.

### 3/5 — 맥업데이트 되면서 뭔가 하나둘 오류가 생기네요.

*2023-12-10*

제일 시급한건 스크롤 센시티브가 엉망이라는건데 굼뱅이처럼 스크롤 되는것 먼저 해결해 주세요.

### 4/5 — Seems to have been abandoned by Acronis

*2023-05-27, version 8.4*

Remotix was the best remote access application for Mac, iPadOS and iOS. Since Acronis bought the company, they have updated the Mac application which continues to work well. However, the iPadOS and iOS app is still the Remotix version and is starting to show its age on the most modern versions of the operating systems. It often crashes when launched on the iPad (a Pro with lots of memory), sometimes necessitating a delete and reinstall. It does not like Stage Manager at all. This is a real pity. I sincerely hope that Acronis will turn their attention to the iPad version of the app and bring it up to date. There is nothing as good at an affordable price.

### 2/5 — Установка на MAC OS X M1

*2023-03-09*

Почему-то Lite версия этого приложения поддерживается для установки на MacOS X с процессором M1, а полная нет.
Видимо для MAC имеется другой продукт, который следует покупать отдельно, но используя iMazing можно запускать на маке и эту версию не переплачивая.

**Developer response:** В версии 8 много обновлений и исправлений. Пожалуйста проверьте осталась ли проблема. Если нет - свяжитесь с нами через форму nulana.com/support, постараемся помочь.

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2023-01-08, version 8.4*

I was introduced to the use of Remotix by a friend, and after enabling sharing, I’ve found that I enjoy using this to remotely access a MacBook more often than I thought I would.

### 5/5 — Really stable and fast

*2022-11-24*

Best RDP app for iOS and macOS. But will you update it or development is stopped? Or give us little delay counterwise immediately disconnecting when multitasking

### 4/5 — Fantastic App

*2022-10-24, version 8.4*

I love how easy it is to use. 
But it’s lacking a easy way to send Ctrl + Alt + Delete. I am unable to find a way to unlock remote devices!
Other than that it’s fantastic

### 5/5 — Excellent — can reach both my Mac and my PC easily

*2022-10-09, version 8.4*

I only use this when I’m at home, but my Mac and my PC are not in my living room…. This app was easy to set up, and I can check on downloads and other slower tasks, while I’m in the living room, or my kitchen… on my iPad!   One of the easiest apps of this kind (I’ve bought five others.  I use this one.)

### 5/5 — Bestens!

*2022-08-24*

Benutze das Programm seit Jahren auf iPad und Mac problemlos. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. An alle die über mangelnde Stabilität meckern: Bestellt euch Internet bei einem vernünftigen Provider. Es ist nicht immer das Programm.

### 5/5 — Excellente app

*2022-07-06*

Une des rares à exploiter pleinement la fonctionnalité tunnel SSH pour ensuite lancer VNC. Ergonomique et intuitive. Un sans faute qui vaut le détour...et le débours !

### 5/5 — Лучшее предложение

*2022-05-30*

Всем привет! Давно пользуюсь данной программмой. Когда-то, местный Джобс мне порекомендовал. Использую для RDP и VNC. Быстро работает и мгновенно подключается. Функционирует стабильно
Разработчикам и всей команде блага дарю 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Все отлично

*2022-04-29*

Единственное жаль, что если хочешь с пк подключаться, то необходимо дополнительно покупать лицензию для ПК

### 5/5 — Reliable

*2022-03-16, version 8.4*

This is an excellent app. I have been using it for years! And I use it both with Mac OS and Windows OS s. and I just wanted to comment and let everybody know how well-made this app is

### 3/5 — Great… when it works

*2022-02-02, version 8.4*

Great app but more buggy as it goes on. Current release crashes all the time on startup and groups will rename at random.  When it works it’s a great app if you are in the Remotix ecosystem.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — WARNING This app is no longer supported. Nulana no longer exists.

*2023-12-18, version 8.4*

Remotix was acquired by Acronis, and the Mobil versions, iOS, iPadOS are not supported and are two years out of date. Quote from Acronus:

“For the iOS version, however, we cannot release a fix: since Remotix got acquired by Acronis, the mobile apps were never updated, and we currently cannot release anything as Nulana (as Nulana no longer exists), and Acronis mobile team apparently cannot do it either (as they aren't familiar with the code at all, and it needs a lot of work now that it's two years behind the main repository).”

I had requested support for a consistent crash issue when trying to move/drag anything on the remote computer.

In short, do not buy…

### 1/5 — Avoid now

*2023-06-04, version 8.4*

Used to be a good app, but now things like SSL with passkey broken and developers say wont be fixed. It's been abandoned

### 1/5 — Broken with Ventura - please fix

*2023-01-26, version 8.4*

Remotix authentication is broken with Ventura. The issue is known by the developer and developer states the following:

1) We have other priorities and will not be fixing the break at this time. Priority remains the desktop app instead of fixing what broke. 

2) Lower you security setting by changing your host password to exclude use of the shift key to log in  Do not expect a fix.

### 1/5 — New user

*2021-08-27*

Cannot connect to VNC or RDP servers - Authentication error occurred every time.

### 1/5 — New version cannot restore or sync with icloud

*2020-04-27, version 8.2*

All my conf are in icloud and it doesn’t give me an option to sync with icloud anymore

### 1/5 — Верните деньги

*2020-04-13*

Вчера купил платную версию, зарегестрировался, 
сегодня программа не открывается, вылетает.
Большая просьба вернуть деньги.
Спасибо.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Пожалуйста свяжитесь с нами через nulana.com/support и мы постараемся помочь с вылетами. Если вы всё равно захотите вернуть деньги, Вы всегда можете это сделать, обратившись в тех. поддержку Apple. Спасибо.

### 1/5 — Нет нормальной поддержки мыши

*2020-04-09*

С версии 13.4 появилась мышь, но эта платная утилита эту фичу не поддерживает!

**Developer response:** В версии 8.2 мы как раз добавили поддержку любых видов blueooth мышек! Если вам требуется помощь, пожалуйста свяжитесь с нами через форму на nulana.com/support

### 1/5 — Removed iCloud sync support

*2020-04-03, version 8.2*

Terrible decision. Will just use something else now. Don’t need yet another paid service want to own sensitive access data.

The Windows version required for remote access to Windows machines is buggy and blacks out regularly requiring a restart of the app making remote access unreliable.

### 1/5 — 全く使えない

*2020-02-23*

お金出してインストールなま関わらず使い方も解らないし立ち上がる事すらしなくなりました。金返せ！

**Developer response:** If we didn't help you already, please contact us via nulana.com/support and we'll try to resolve any possible issue. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Where is App support??

*2018-11-27, version 7.2*

So I have the latest OS Mohave 10.14 on my iMac and of course I have an iPhone 7+ with the latest iOS version on it. Bought the app for my iPad and iPhone for $10 then had to purchase it again for my iMac. It was $19.99 for the iMac. Spent the money but haven’t figured out how to make it work. There is no contact email embedded within the app to reach out to support for step by step instructions on anything. All I’m trying to do is remotely control my iMac from my iPhone. I use Plex often thru my iMac as a server to watch movies and shows. I wanted an app that could connect me to my iMac and change settings, reset Plex, or do simple tasks while I’m away from home. So far, I don’t see how to get it connected. My computer shows up in the “bonjour” list and gives a “.local” address. Could someone point me in the correct direction to get this resolved? I will update this post and re-rate the app if I can get some help.  

Thanks
Markell

### 5/5 — Excellent app for Remote Admins.

*2025-09-20*

I use Remotix to admin my home computers from within my home network from my iPad.  It works great allowing me full functionality without needing a keyboard or mouse.  I recommend this app for people with multiple home computers.

### 5/5 — Лучшее приложение для удаленного доступа

*2025-06-30*

Столкнулся с задачей подключения Bluetooth мыши и клавиатуры к айфону. Это лучше приложение которое смогло сделать функционал мыши и клавиатуры рабочим полностью.

### 5/5 — Just the occasional glitch. Mostly very useful.

*2025-02-03*

I would say out of several remote desktop style product I have used, this one is one of the most simple to setup and configure and use. Only the mildest learning curve gettin used to manipulating the various input modes on smaller size touchscreens.. Would like to see a little more information kicked back to me when a connection fails and some automated troubleshooting or diagnostic algorithms wouldn’t hurt anything.  I use mostly iOS/MacOS. Sees those easily. Have a couple non-Apple Linux/UNIX machines running and those are more of a challenge (but then that’s kind of expected … many Linux users might even be offended if it seemed TOO straightforward).  I rarely use Windows and honestly can’t remember if Remotix saw them easily or not. But overall it works well. There’s even an AppleTV version. Run your workstation from the TV remote in your lounger!

### 5/5 — Спасение

*2025-01-14*

Поставил на iPad OS. Альтернативы не нашел. Все полностью устраивает.

### 5/5 — utilisateur fidèle

*2024-09-30*

Utilisateur fidèle de l’app Remotix et des services d’Acronis depuis plusieurs années. J’ai testé tout ce que propose la concurrence sur Mac, honnêtement, je n’ai pas trouvé mieux…

### 5/5 — Love it, easy to use

*2024-06-28, version 8.4*

I like this Remotix app, I have used several “remote control” apps.

This one app connects to my Mac mini, my Windows 10 Pro, and Ubuntu mini-PC. It works well!

### 5/5 — Meilleure app du genre

*2023-07-20*

Excellent, je l’utilise tous les jours sur mon iPad.

### 5/5 — Using it for years!

*2023-07-09, version 8.4*

This seems to be the only viable RDP app even after all these years. Good job to the developers!

### 5/5 — Great App for organizing

*2023-06-08, version 8.4*

Great app for organizing dozens of rd and vnc connections. The cloud sync is awesome. The mac app counterpart is so very nice as well

### 5/5 — M2 iPad - Stupid Easy RDP over SSH

*2023-01-15*

I was really bummed to not find any great solutions to remote connect to my labs of Windows machines, macOS machines and servers.  I found Remotix off the RoyalTSX website.  I use that other app on my macOS machines, but they do not have a real client for iOS/iPADOS.

Back to Remotix.  If you are a sysadmin and need to access RDP and VNC over SSH, this is the app for you.  It has many display options from resolution to zoom level.. and it just works.  The touch, touchpad options are also great.

Because of this app, I can leave my MacBook Air at home and be able to do everything for my job.
