Ratings and reviews

haven't found another vnc viewer that could capture all keyboard and mouse input like this one. truly good stuff

Used to crash/disconnect a lot making the app unusable,but lately the connection is super stable,it even stays connected after running for a long while in the background,really happy with the app.Seems the issue may have been fixed I suppose (or it was my phone/network,though I didn't change anything on my side+my Windows VNC client worked perfectly..maybe a Samsung phone issue..).Btw i purchased aRDP Pro to get sound, both are wonderful apps, thanks for the amazing work. Will purchase here too.

Following update the load screen is awful. It's like it's trying to confuse where you need to click so you click on an ad. Other than that it works fine once running. I find connection a bit faster than previous version. I'd prefer a menu option to select 'right click menu' than the current two finger tap, but it does work better than previous version.
