### 2/5 — Nothing

*2026-04-02, version 4.7.5*

When I Get This App I Want To Get It On,I Open The App And It Didn’t Work, So Can You Fix It?

### 3/5 — I don't have a MacBook

*2024-12-16, version 4.6.2*

I don't have a MacBook

### 3/5 — Bruh moment

*2024-10-18, version 4.5.4*

I couldn’t find the isoFile so if anyone has it please leave a review

### 4/5 — Great solution for using Linux/Windows in an iPad

*2024-06-06, version 4.5.3*

The UTM Remove app is the only one that effectively allows access to VMs from an iPad. Although the documentation is quite poor, mostly referring to installing UTM on iOS/iPadOS (which is irrelevant to this app), overall, this is probably the best remote VM app I have used. However, there are a few drawbacks: it doesn’t support Trackpad/Mouse, which would make it a five-star app, and you need to change the touch input to touch mode. Additionally, ensure you enable the UTM server on the desktop side.

### 2/5 — Work in progress?

*2024-05-23*

Barely does anything, but has promise.  Although it’s free, it would be worth buying, if it worked.

### 3/5 — Объяснение для чайников

*2024-05-21, version 4.5.2*

Если вы подумали что это эмулятор UTM, то вы ошибайтесь. В самом названием указано, что это «удалённо», то есть не создание виртуальных машин на самом устройстве, а управлять виртуальными машинами которые находятся на самом mac. Хотя эмуляторы в AppStore официально разрешены и вышли различные, но на данный момент эмулятор UTM - нет. А так приложение не сконектил с виртуальной машиной, потому что у меня нет mac😁

### 1/5 — Was soll das?

*2024-05-19, version 4.5.2*

Kein Wort auf deutsch, obwohl es deutsch sein soll. Kein Bild Werbefilm sieht so aus wie die App. Alles ist einfach schwarz und die Hilfe ist auf Englisch. Da könnt ihr die anderen 10 Sprachen entfernen.

### 1/5 — Not Ready for iPadOS 17.5

*2024-05-18, version 4.5.2*

iPadOS 17.5 (21F79)

While it is frankly, sad, that this solution even needed to be crafted due to Apple "Security Marketing Run Amok" policies forbidding a *full and proper implementation from being released*, unfortunately this "workaround" to bring functionality and performance of Desktop UTM to iPads...simply doesn't work.

It seems unable to create VMs. Go thru the setup, hit save, there is no vm. As such, I cannot understand the previous 5-star ratings.

HOWEVER, as *soon as* I can actually make and run a vm and it is even *remotely* as performant as it is on a MacBook, I will absolutely change my rating to match. As it stands now, UTM Remote...simply doesn't work on iPadOS 17.5 :(

### 1/5 — Add a Linux port as a flatpak then I might use

*2025-07-30, version 4.6.5*

Since it says I need a mac pc I can’t use it because my pc runs Linux.

### 1/5 — Explanation for fools

*2025-07-13, version 4.6.5*

The name actually says it needs a Mac to work. If you have no mac, use rdp if you have windows , vcn if you have Linux or UTM SE if you have no laptop or PC.

### 1/5 — Kötü

*2025-07-12, version 4.6.5*

Sanal makina kuramıyorum

### 1/5 — I don’t have sever!

*2024-12-26, version 4.6.2*

You need to straighten up because you don’t know how much UTM , Remote Desktop! Cost and I moving to “slow edition” and it deleted now, normal edition

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD

*2025-10-25, version 4.7.4*

Nobody uses this, but this can solve the JIT problem because you use a Mac now. Problem is, you can’t connect to vms other than x86 or x64 ones. Hopefully it’s fixed in the future.

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-07-12, version 4.6.5*

Boring app

### 5/5 — its nice running Operating Systems

*2024-12-02, version 4.5.4*

hey this app has no actual purpose but hey its nice "running" macos and windows 10-11 on your phone!

### 5/5 — Объяснение для чайника

*2024-10-19, version 4.5.4*

Это приложение для подключения к компьютеру
Если у вас нет компьютера используйте  UTM SE

### 5/5 — God bless the Devs and Contributors

*2024-10-18, version 4.5.4*

Thank you for this app, exactly what I needed. Although required a bit of fiddling on the host side, but works like an absolute charm. As the other user says, SHAME ON YOU APPLE, for not unleashing the power of M chip on the ipad for devs and pro users.

### 5/5 — Genial

*2024-08-28, version 4.5.3*

Einfach cool, geniales Tool.

### 5/5 — Very niche use case but it exists

*2024-08-07, version 4.5.3*

This app serves zero practical purpose but hey, it’s cool “running” Windows 11 on your phone.

### 5/5 — Suggestion

*2024-05-28, version 4.5.3*

UTM SE doesn’t require JIT to work. It would be a good service if you could  deploy it and make it available on app store.

### 5/5 — UTM VİRTUAL MACHİNES

*2024-05-19, version 4.5.2*

Neden ios desteklemiyor delta ve ppsspp emulatörler ios için artık mevcut utm de bunların arasında olması gerekiyor lütfen yayınlayalım appstorede ios için

### 5/5 — It works

*2024-05-02, version 4.5.2*

It works just fine .  However only on WiFi any other connection  forexample thunderbolt qnap net is a no show
