Ratings and reviews

Works great to connect termux on my galaxy s20 ultra (all in one) where the pointer stops moving when you lift your finger, which allows you to then press a mouse button without the pointer moving from where you lifted your finger. BUT In a Samsung Dex environment there is no 'finger', only the single pointer, so there is no way to move the pointer from the selection to a mouse button to press it without also moving the selection point!

Works pretty well, been able to connect to windows and macs however I'm missing the ability to send arrow keys. Is there a way to tap arrow keys up down left right via this app that I haven't found? I'm often doing projection mapping and have to fall back to other viewers because I'm missing this feature. Gestures aren't really usefull if you have to tap a key quite a lot to move things around on the remote computer.

It didn't occurr to me until recently to install a different Android VNC client with the RealVNC Server app running on my PC. Very glad it finally did, as MultiVNC is a *FAR* superior client app than RealVNC's own Android client: 1) you have dedicated zoom in/out buttons to accurately zoom to the required level, whereas with RealVNC you can only pinch to zoom. 2) You don't get the upgrade notification message in the bottom right of the server PC screen each time you disconnect. Brilliant!
