not good
y2guru

Works very well, no problem!

After deciding my iMac was beyond Tiger, set up became easier. In fact, I made it harder than it really was. The trickiest part was, once I was sure my settings were correct, was to figure out how to get the app to "run". Finally double clicked on the name of the computer in the name bar at the top of the gray screen. Suddenly my computer's desktop appeared! Cheaper than a similar app, does exactly what I wanted it to do. It would be good if all the apps had some sort of trial period, so you can at least know if the darn thing works! It could self-destruct in a few days for all I care, just want to know if I buy it, it will function!
Do not recomend
levi1922
Installation wasnt too hard, but harder than it needs to be. Do no recomend this. the lag is annoying on the screen, if it worked over 3G, it would be excellent, but for being wifi based, it doesnt cut it. I suggest mobile air mouse, its much better for this, it just requires you to look at the screen. Waste of money. wish apple provided a short trial period of ever app, to avoid people wasting five dollars on an app that they delete in 2 minutes.
Great App

After trying several VNC remote desktop aps and spending $11.99 on one, I still was not happy. Then I stumble across this app while looking at some other VNC remote desktop apps. I spent time looking at their web site, since one of the reviewer said it would not work on 3G and that is one of the reasons I want to buy a remote app. I want to access my PC while away from my desk and at the lake. I also wanted a good word processor, since I am terribly disappointed with Pages. Their web site has instructions on how to get the app to work on 3G. Another concern was a reviewer’s statement that there was noticeable lag. There is if you use TightVnc, however with UltraVNC the app flies. Again, great app and I am looking forward to working while on my sailboat this summer.
don't buy

I am deleting this app, it simply does not work. I work in IT and I know garbage when I seem it. Please do not waste your money like I did. Buy a different app.
It's pretty damn cool but...

Only 4 things I found I do not like were: 1) I tried using my Photoshop program and I tried drawing but because you are able to move the whole screen, it doesn't stay still to actually use drawing programs, etc. SOLUTION TO DEVELOPERS: create a "snap" feature :) 2) No volume. I could get the volume from music and videos on my computer but not through the iPad itself. I do not have a solution for that..lol. 3) the set up website, the hanamobile one, I couldn't get onto it at all but that may just had been my connection but who knows, it's just a heads up. For the Mac installation the cnet site worked. 4) Unfortunately it doesn't work when the computer is closed, the computer is on but the screen is just closed but oh well. Other than those 4 things I'm pretty Syked about it :)
Crashes constantly

Crashes constantly, in the few seconds it doesn't crash the app just doesn't feel nice to use. Go with iteleport, a much nicer app.
Not ready for prime time

You'll find it difficult to do anything with how slow the screen updates and the mouse clicking is really clumsy. Interface and features are all there it's just not responsive enough to be effective.
