Native Alternative for Mac Remote Connect

dirtyankle

Couldn’t rate this app better, I’ve been looking for a secure option alternative to using screen sharing native to Mac OS. You may find other screenshqring apps, but this one uses apples native screen sharing server, as long as you have a static IP. If not, they have a desktop app that basically is a DDNS. With this app, I no longer need a Mac to connect securely to another Mac. I no longer use a desktop app because my computers are on a static IP, and I no longer need to pay monthly to a Splashtop or log Me in. This app is the best!

Never worked

Favorite VNC client

Love the app, works really good. You should know your way around the network setup you use at home in order to allow Screens to work. It does it’s best to help when it can but be prepared to setup forwarding ports if you have two routers and such complicates stuff.

No RDP

Vague descriptions of services provided. Need to install a client on Windows and other machines. RDP is offered by other, cheaper solutions

Remote Access to your home computer is nearly impossible or CUMBERSOME.

Need to re-emphasize the IP Issue dilemma. ( Dynamic vs Static ) for those who wished to remotely access their home computer. Apparently, it is up to me and the Network Provider to figure it out. Screens Phone apps worked only if you are in range WiFi connected within the same Network. Be warned !! No Refund. No doubt that the concept is there, but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Not work with AT&T routers

The setup need to have pacific kind of routers if you don’t and you try to contacting the support by email you screwed. I didn’t even got my money back

Worth every penny; I would have paid more.

Amazing suite of products; I bought everything “Screens” related and just was very happy with their support. I highly recommend to anyone who does freelance work or just needs to help their mom; or whatever.

Essential App

If you need to login or control a computer from your phone, you’ve found your app. Great design, responsive developer, quality software. Look no further.

Perfect.

Does what it says it does, does it better than even Apple’s own built-in protocols. Indispensable.

Support did not find a solution

P----ed Off

The developer worked with me to find a solution however when one was not found they did refund the purchase price. Down loaded a more expensive app with Phone support, I had no router issues. This tells me it is in the software of this app that prohibited the hand shake. I guess I’ll never know. Purchased app three days ago. Unable to connect to my MAC using my iPhone. Only way it works is when I’m connected to my home WiFi. That is not what I want to do. Support says I should check my firewall. It is set up correctly. Support says it should be plugged to a power source. It is. Support says to verify settings, verified and correct. Still, not working. Can anyone please offer some help so I can get on with my life?
