Ratings and reviews

This app works perfectly for interacting with VNC hosts remotely with no hassles, fuss, or extra features. I successfully used this app after experiencing no success with RealVNC on the same host. I didn't really troubleshoot the issue; I already had this developer's RDP app, so I decided to give their VNC app a try. Excellent work!

Another application required the use of this app. App works, but within the same day (and for several days after) I was being prompted to install/accept other apps that I would never use. Found that phantom installs stopped immediately after disabling this app. Not a fan of phantom installs....huge annoyance!

I miss the classic list of saved connections. It was more compact and easy to change a port number without having to edit and save the existing connection. It would also be fantastic if connections could be sorted alphabetically or manually arranged in order. I otherwise love the app and have been using it since dirt.
