The best Remote Desktop

Just works and does what it says from anywhere

Power Consumption on iPad Pro M5 Extremely High

The app is great but it draws down power on an iPad Pro M5 extremely rapidly. Even plugged into a charger, power goes down faster than it can be supplied by the charger. Surely, this is a bug whereby something is staying too busy.

Curtain mode unreliable, lovely app otherwise

1. [BUG] Constantly getting "unable to enable curtain mode" popup annoyances for macOS 27 hosts. I have followed the ***EXACT*** instructions on the website and have ensured remote login is set up appropriately. Please fix.

2. [FR] Please add curtain mode status icon (working/broken/not selected) to AVP app.

3. [FR] It would be nice to also have RDP support, as half of my remotes are Windows and RDP is honestly just better for scaling and low-data environments than the comparatively terrible VNC protocol. RDP would also be useful for some Linux remotes, strangely enough.

Not for RDP

Not for windows rdp and requires a subscription
Compatible with VNC and true own server

Overall good

It works pretty well. But my main gripe is that the screens do not curve. It would be much more usable to me if they did.
