Reviews

Frustrating
bikenut46

Half the time I can’t connect to my Mac mini.


Continuously impressed and delighted
sahandnayebaziz

The connection information, the nice gestures, the amount of control... I am so impressed and so happy with this app. Thank you!!


Good VNC App. Needs ed25519 support.
markmcb

The simplest, yet most complete VNC app. Lacking ed25519 encryption key support. More and more this is becoming the de facto standard which means I can’t use Screens on servers that have moved to this newer, more secure standard. Hoping this gets added soon.


Didn't work when I needed it
richardfrisch

I don't appreciate paying for an app that fails to work, especially when it is needed. I'd give this app a zero star rating if I could.


Gives full screen, full resolution on external display connected to iPad
Greg Smithies

I was very pleasantly surprised when I just used Screens for the first timeworn an external display attached to my iPad Pro. Rather than simply mirroring the iPad display onto that external display (like most other apps do) instead it gives you a full bleed (edge to edge) full resolution, 16:9 version of the Remote Desktop on the external display. Makes it MUCH more usable. Very impressed.


After recent update

After recent update mouse is frozen when connecting to macOS 10.5.8


Latest update with trackpad support is stellar
JDB

Thank you so much Edovia for getting the trackpad support out so quickly. Using Screens with my remote Mac is now completely transparent. The iPad Pro acts as a perfect thin client. With the LTE connection in the iPad Pro, I can connect and do my work anywhere. It’ll be even better when Apple releases the new Magic Keyboard with the built-in trackpad.


Looking forward to the iPad OS Mouse Support
raz0r9

The app looks great, but would love to get the complete support for the iPad OS mouse interaction. It’s super new and I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully it’s already in the works.


Phenominal
zmclearan

Screens was already my go to remote in application and now with the addition of cursor support it takes my workflow to the next level! Using my iPad Pro + Smart Keyboard + Magic Trackpad + an external display = an incredible desktop setup that I can just fold up and take wherever I am needed. Cursor support is extremely well implemented. I would like to seem a few improvements, if possible. I wish the iPad’s cursor could be hidden while controlling another computer. To my knowledge this is possible with the current API. I would also like to disable pinch-to-zoom (on a trackpad) for the application and pass the zoom gesture to the remote computer. Keep up the fantastic work!


Simply doesn’t work
Pete Allport

Was locked out of my own MacBook lol, garbage software!
