### 3/5 — 2026/08/07

*2026-08-06, version 3.8.4.6*

レビューを催促されたので。それ以外は星5。希望を書くならファンクションがF16まであると嬉しいかな

### 5/5 — Must try

*2026-08-03, version 3.8.4.6*

I am using this app around 9 years it is very useful

### 1/5 — Too Laggy. Not worth the purchase

*2026-06-26, version 3.8.4.4*

Too slow and complicated. Definite not a good fit for iPad to Mac

### 3/5 — Cannot connect to pc using older iPad.

*2026-06-06, version 3.8.4.4*

I think there’s been an update (downdate?). It works fine with my gen9 iPad and android phone. But for my older iPad it connects and immediately disconnects. Three stars because I can still connect using my pc IP address (until it changes).

### 5/5 — Good for a free temporary wireless monitor replacement

*2026-05-18, version 3.8.0.6*

I got this app after I broke the screen on my laptop, and it is free, easy to use, and works for when I need to use my laptop on the go. It is a little laggy, though (at least the free version is), so I wouldn’t recommend this as a permanent fix unless you have some patience.

### 1/5 — Not working anymore

*2026-05-01, version 3.8.0.6*

This worked a couple of years ago but now it doesn’t.  May be because my iMac is getting old.- 10.15.  But nowhere in the App Store does it say it’s limited.

### 1/5 — Botón secundario no funciona

*2026-04-09, version 3.8.0.6*

Desde la Mac, al acceder a una PC, no logro enviar al acción de botón secundario, no con el TRackPad, ni con un ratón.

### 4/5 — La versión 3

*2026-03-06, version 3.8.0.6*

Funciona bien. Lo único que no he conseguidido, porque nomse si es un tema hard es despertar las máquinas de forma remota

### 5/5 — A Hidden Jewel

*2026-03-04, version 3.8.0.6*

I almost don’t want to leave a review because others might catch on to this. I do use Zoom for meetings and have used Team viewer in the past. Splashtop Personal has indeed helped me so much access my devices remotely and I’ve used it for over a couple of years now. My primary use is mostly from Pc to Pc because from Mobile to PC the controls are hard to handle, that’s only on emergency to view things. The price is ridiculously affordable, nothing comparable to Zoom or Teamviewer. The only one review I saw says “duped into buying a new subscription on purpose”…personally, if they offered a 5 year subscription where I can lock in the $17 a year price, I’d get it in a heart beat. Offer me a discount and I’d go for the 10 year! Hint hint ;)

### 2/5 — screen freezes every 10~40 minutes

*2026-02-01, version 3.7.6.0*

I reinstslled streamer, replaced ipad with newest one, updated its OS, waited for maintanence, still no fix. when screen freezes only sound plays on still image so I have to close the app and restart
