What's New in Screens 5

5.9.4

October 14, 2026

* Added support for iPhone Duo. * Renamed the iPhone and iPad toolbars to Compact and Regular. Both toolbar styles are now available on iPad. * The Compact toolbar now uses Liquid Glass in landscape mode on iPhone with iOS 26 or later. * Fixed screenshots being recognised as TIFF files instead of PNG files, and corrected their DPI information. * Fixed local connection detection when using Tailscale with SSH enabled. * Fixed an issue where the remote desktop did not fit the iPad screen correctly, requiring unnecessary scrolling. * Various bug fixes and improvements.

La meilleure app VNC

Utilisateur fidèle depuis des années pour accéder à distance à mon Mac et à des Raspberry Pi, Screens fait partie de mes applications préférées.
Elle n'a pas cessé de se bonifier avec le temps. Bravo !

Response from developer

Merci beaucoup pour ce superbe commentaire et pour votre fidélité au fil des années ! Nous sommes ravis de savoir que Screens fait partie de vos applications préférées. Nous travaillons constamment à l’améliorer et avons de belles nouveautés à vous présenter dans les prochaines semaines. Encore merci pour votre soutien et bonne journée !

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

Impossible de l’utiliser, j’ai un message d’erreur Paramètre incorrect. mais sans aucun détail

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.
