User reviews

Excellent, easy to use and good performance

I’m typing this review while I’m in Vietnam accessing my home machines back in New Zealand. Tailscale makes it secure and easy, Screens provides an easy and performant connection. I used to use Mocha VNC but there is no comparison in terms of easy of use and performance. Screens + Blink are my super powers for remote work via my iPad. Screens is good enough that I often don’t even grab my laptop from my home office and instead use my iPad if I want to do something on that machine. Amazing implementation of remote desktop. Highly recommend!

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this. We’re thrilled to hear that Screens has become such an important part of your remote workflow, especially while travelling halfway around the world! Knowing that Screens makes your iPad good enough to leave the laptop behind is a fantastic compliment. We’re constantly working to make Screens faster, easier to use, and as reliable as possible wherever you happen to be. Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation. Safe travels, and cheers from the Screens team!

Inutilisable

Response from developer

Bonjour, Nous pouvons vous aider à identifier l’origine du problème. Veuillez nous envoyer un rapport de diagnostic depuis Screens > Aide > Support. Nous pourrons ainsi examiner votre configuration et déterminer ce qui empêche la connexion de fonctionner. Salutations!

A necessity in the agentic era

Tailscale integration is great! Makes it easy to use my iPad mini to connect to all my remote machines without having to use a cloud host I don’t trust.

App ist nicht kostenlos

Keine Funktion ohne Abo. Wieso wird die App kostenlos im AppStore angeboten, wenn dann in der App nichts funktioniert ohne dass man ein Abo abschließt? Dann muss das klar im AppStore sichtbarer sein dass sie App keinerlei Funktion hat, wenn man kein Abo abschließt.

Response from developer

Hallo, danke für Ihr Feedback. Screens kann kostenlos aus dem App Store heruntergeladen und angesehen werden, zum Herstellen von Remote-Verbindungen ist jedoch ein Abonnement oder ein Lifetime-Kauf erforderlich. Wir bewerben Screens nicht als kostenlos nutzbare App. Die verfügbaren Käufe und Abonnements werden zudem im App Store im Bereich „In-App-Käufe“ aufgeführt. Die Schaltfläche „Laden“ bedeutet, dass für den Download der App keine Vorabzahlung erforderlich ist – nicht, dass alle Funktionen kostenlos angeboten werden. So können Sie Screens zunächst herunterladen und ansehen und bei Interesse die 7-tägige kostenlose Testphase des Jahresabonnements nutzen. Wir hoffen, dass dies die Preisgestaltung etwas klarer macht. Falls Sie Fragen zu Screens, den verfügbaren Optionen oder zur Preisgestaltung haben, können Sie uns jederzeit unter screens@edovia.com kontaktieren. Wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter.

I wanted it to be good

I wanted this to be good so badly but it crashes every time I try to connect. That's an improvement on a week ago, when I couldn't close the pop up that showed up when you first open the app. Seems surprisingly poorly coded
