GO-Global customers can download the free GO-Global App to connect to GO-Global hosts and run Windows applications remotely from their iOS device. Applications appear as though they were running locally, retaining all features and functions.

No sign-up or registration required. The GO-Global App maintains a high degree of usability by automatically touch-enabling Windows applications. Intuitive, multi-touch gestures allow users to interact naturally with applications running on the host, even though the device lacks a mouse and keyboard. The Auto-Zoom feature detects the section of the screen currently active in the application, and automatically zooms-in on that area, making it easier to tap user interface elements. The device’s onscreen keyboard opens automatically whenever an application can receive text input. GO-Global uses GraphOn’s patented, high-performance RapidX protocol, providing fast and seamless access anywhere, even over low-bandwidth connections. It provides SSL security (up to 256-bit AES) and IPv6 support. And it eliminates the need for Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
