Really cool but needs to be updated

Love the app but not comparable with iOS 11.
Waste of money / misleading
JDB3710
Paid $9 for the app because it was promoted as enabling me to stream content from my iPhone and iPad to my first gen Apple TV, only to learn, after the fact, that I also need to spend another $30 for aTV Flash to enable this functionality. It would be better to put the $40 towards a new Apple TV (only $150) rather than dealing with this complicated, expensive, clunky and misleading work-around.
Abandoned thanks a lot

I bought this when it first came out and it was very handy and reliable. Sadly after getting my money and anyone else who paid for it they abandoned it. Never buy from this developer I'm sure they will just get their money and run again.
Ok, nothing fabulous.

The app works ok. I do not like it on the iPhone/iPod because the screens are so small, it makes navigation difficult. I'm guessing it would work better on an iPad. My main complaint is that you have to install a program on your computer and start it up to use the app. Once the computer goes to sleep, you must use a real keyboard & mouse to unlock the computer again. I got this app to replace the keyboard & mouse...not as an addition.
One thing missing
Nokto
Sound not playing anything but static. Please add mouse feature/option like VNC and Splashtop have. Like when you put your finger on the screen it allows you to see the mouse pointer above your finger instead of hidden under your finger. That would make this a five star app. I highly recommended this app. As long as the dev gets off his ... Used to be top rated. Now a bottom feeder of yesterday. 3 stars as of now. Mostly used as a remote control the VNC side has never been that great. Thanks dev, Nokto
Horrible Now!!!

I have contacted support twice with a canned response but ZERO improvement. This app was great but with latest update you cannot connect over 3G. Waste of money and time!
Wow... Waste of money
Mr. Trumpetjazzer
I should of spent $20 on that other VNC app that actually works... I can't even see my whole desktop on this app. I can see the top left and when I try to scroll down it just bounces back... Needs better support for Maverick and retina MacBooks.
