Screens: VNC Remote Desktop App Reviews

I have used Screens for probably 6- 8 years now. I have had the occasional hiccup with connection BUT I’m sure its more on some other hardware settings typically than this software having the issue. Often times signing out and back in fixes it. Anyway its always been there for me, the developer is great. They stay on top of it and are helpful. The way it works is really amazing— its very responsive even when I am on my iPhone and using data instead of Wi-Fi.

Screens has a beautifully designed simple interface, with a very user friendly network setup process. Unfortunately, it’s still lacking some basic features for remote computing. The app does not support right or middle mouse button click + hold commands, rendering softwares like Rhino, AutoCad, Revit, or the Adobe CS suite virtually unusable when remoting into a desktop. I’d consider revisiting this app once the developer team has addressed this basic interface, but if your in the AEC or desig

Best Remote Control App on iOS!!!!

Overall, the app works fairly well. The ability to use it in either trackpad mode or touch mode is great. It does a pretty good job of giving me access to my desktop from the couch, which is my main use. There are a number of key commands that I use extensively on macOS that aren’t sent across the connection. In particular, Cmd-Tab, Cmd-` and Cmd-Q, which are used frequently. There is an option in the settings to switch the control and command keys to handle this. It’s a clunky workaround that m

This is a terrific app. I connect via port forwarding on my router and it works perfectly. Also works great on my local network if I’m too lazy to get up and go to my Mac. Support is first rate.

1. Connections are hit or miss. They need to find a way to make it work each time. Complex router adjustment setup seems to be required. 2. No audio. 3. No VPN support - have to turn it off on my Mac. When it does connect it has the best image quality I’ve seen.

Fastest VNC I’ve tested so far, but I’m not sure if I’ve fully secured my connection between my iPad and my mac. I’ve tried importing my RSA SSH key and it keeps failing and unable to recognize the clipboard or check if it was imported from Finder/iTunes

I use VNC to connect to several Raspberry Pi systems serving special apps and for development. I was using Re****C but it does not support my little mouse. I stumbled onto Screens. Once I read the docs and switched my Pi’s VNC servers to “VNC Password” authentication the app connects and acts really nice. Mouse and BT keyboard integration is flawless. The more I use Screens, the more I appreciate the care and skill that went into this app. Highly recommended.

Works with iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 on the day they shipped. Works on Big Sur the day it shipped. A pro tool for people that value their time and need to get work done. A much better solution than ARD or screen sharing for less than 30 machines to manage.

Very buggy and finicky.

Screens is perfect for remote controlling your macs, top shelf software.

Please give some method of auditing the available keys. Show the public key or something, just a name is not enough

It works good for connecting to my mac. With the external keyboard, I get the best Emacs experience I can get on an ipad.
