New Version Prevents Keyboard Shortcuts

TheHammer610

I love this App and use it all the time to run my iTunes on my Mac via my iPad. But this new version has a keyboard buffer line at the top. I have not been able to figure out how to disable his new 'feature'. It prevents me from using keyboard shortcuts like Option-I and does not allow quickfill to work since the Mac does not receive any letters until I hit 'Return'. Please allow me to turn off this keyboard buffer.

Slow

Sometimes lags by several seconds. This is a new issue for me.

No support !

Has worked good until tonight, the night before a big trip. The keyboard does appear if you have selected "ask for password". It simply says enter password but there is no way to enter it. I go to their website, and there is no way to email anyone at remoter. So I try to join their community forum and after wasting even more time I get a SQL error. It's a good program, but the inability to contact the developer when you have a major problem kills it for me.

Buffered keyboard breaks things

Forcing a buffered keyboard makes this app unusable for me. Before this misfeature was added, RemoterVNC was my main SSH app. I'll revise my rating upward only if this disabling change is addressed.

Irresponsible Developer

Ladylonglocks

After leaving the below review a half hour or so ago I went in search of a replacement for this app and discovered something very interesting. Apparently the developer has added a new "Remoter Pro" version to the app store and no matter what you have already paid for, you'll have to shell out another "discounted" $6.99 because the developer didn't grandfather you in. Now all you reviewers who paid for functions you no longer have know why you can't use them anymore. Remoter Labs, I bet all the responsible developers find your modus operandi appalling, you give them all a bad name. I know I certainly do. Btw users, VNC Viewer appears to have excellent reviews for a top-notch developer, is free for a connection that is not encrypted from end-to-end, and has an encrypted upgrade available. It is one among several I plan to test, anything is better than this. Half hour ago: Once again, the developer excels only in irresponsibility. I have used this app for some time now, paid for the upgrades, and I can no longer connect. The problem is definitely this version of the app because I can connect with an older version from an older, albeit useless, iPad. Being confined to bed most of the time, I cannot work without this app, for which I spent a considerable amount of money. The developer knows the situation he leaves his users in, and this is not the first time he has left them stranded... last time, through multiple updates. Developers who lack integrity don't deserve your money. Rather than encourage bad development, give your money to one who does. And Apple? You need to start removing poorly reviewed apps by trusted reviewers from the App Store. It's time to start caring about quality rather than numbers. Give the developers a deadline to fix the app's issues during which no new apps can be purchased, and if they don't meet it, remove it. Previously: Three updates since 8 was released, still no dictation, still missing toolbar above keyboard. A lot of money worth of USELESS.

Once Great, No Longer Responsive

consumerq

Remoter VNC is an app that I had used since 2011 for connections to my work network over VPN. I hadn't bought any of the extras because I didn't need them. While over the years some interface changes were annoying, connection and control was reliable. Until v4, that is. Button presses will turn four different pretty colours but are non-responsive. When before I clicked it the remote computer would register immediately doing as intended, now I wait and wait and maybe get jumpy actions. I now use the free VNC Viewer. No lag, clean interface, and the free version is secure over my private OpenVPN server.

Don't upgrade

Gxxxxg

I used to have a working rdp connection. After an upgrade I am now required to purchase an upgrade to make it work again. Great sales model guys: steal functionality from your customers and then expect them to buy the product again. Blacklist these thieves.

Use it every day; love it!

Please add support for iOS 9 Split Screen multitasking!! I control a dozen different Macs as well as a number of Linux boxes using Remoter. It handles screen scaling, keyboard, and mouse emulation with elegance. All the special key combinations are easily accessible. I love the visual "snapshot" of my screens to let me quickly choose which box to connect to. I recently started using the SSH feature to control some Linux VMs; and it works perfectly. Within a few seconds I was able to get my colors set up the way I like and get to work. With an app like this that is often needed in a "critical" situation, you want things to just work. Remoter just does, and I highly recommend it.

Broken, hands with latest iOS/OS X

Seems to have stopped working entirely. All connections just hang.

Bad design, bad execution, doesn't work

ritterhaus

This app is so badly designed that setting up a new connection is a real chore. SSH is an extra in-app purchase (lame) and the set up of an SSH tunnel just doesn't work. Stay away from this sorry excuse for a remote desktop app.
