### 5/5 — Password 1234

*2025-11-28*

The password

### 3/5 — Hit or miss

*2024-08-10*

Usually you don't get the VM so..

### 1/5 — The app, it does nothing

*2023-06-04*

Trying any of the Ubuntu options brings up nothing but ads and an otherwise-blank page. Selecting  “VNC” brings up a dialog box to set up the connection, but I didn’t try it any further. Portrait orientation only, as if they don’t already have bigger fish to fry’;

### 5/5 — Good but needs more updates

*2023-05-21*

We need landscape mode and MacBook support in other words it’s lacking updates but good

### 1/5 — Garage

*2023-04-10*

Everyone this company and its developers are untalented no software knowledge having people in the world 
Yo devs go to school and learn how to create software that functions 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2023-01-01, version 1.5*

Useless app. I installed this to VNC to my Ubuntu NUC. VNC connections work from my laptop to the NUC ( with remmina no internet) and real VNC works fine on all devices (with internet only) but this app won’t. Instructions would be useful

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-02-10, version 1.2*

Great
I really like this

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2020-12-04*

Was looking forward to using Ubuntu again. Downloaded, opened Firefox, could find no way to enter a search. Closed it and uninstalled.

### 1/5 — No landscape mode.

*2020-11-30*

Not great

### 3/5 — Ummmbunot2 bad

*2020-05-11*

Its not terrible... you definitely need a bigger screen device. The zoom button are fixed, to big and get in the way. Screen orientation is fixed... 

.99 seems pointless but good scam to remove ads. 

Not bad otherwise. Cant utilize it but its good to know things are out there... maybe ads will disappear the spirit if free software will take hold and open source and the nature of GNU will make this an even better app.
