Ratings and reviews

Terrific app. I installed the free version first, to check it out. It works very, very well - even establishing VNC connections over a secure channel (SSH, in my case) to hosts behind a firewall is straightforward to do, once you know your way around the app. I decided to get the pay version, not necessarily because I want to get extra features or get rid of the marketing window, but because I think that the developer deserves it. Notice that migrating from the free one to the pay version is painless, thanks to the Import/Export Settings capability available in both versions. Very highly recommended.

Got the pro since I've been using free version for years now. Only complaint is a lack of "hamburger" options on the TV app. Specifically the inability to Import/Export settings. I use 100 character long generated passwords that I'd very much prefer to not type in using a remote... And my chromecast sometimes refuses to enter remote mode, so being able to fall back on a config file would be tremendously helpful (Upload files to Chromecast using Cx File Explorer).

This has been tremendously useful to me. Allowing me to control devices in several locations with just a click. It hasn't let me down yet and the only thing I can think of that would make it more useful would be using dictation with the keyboard. I can with the send text option, but clicking in a dialog box for example doesn't offer it. Ha! that made me go through the settings and the 3rd software keyboard option allows voice even though it doesn't say so implicitly so now BVNC is even better :)
