Ratings and reviews

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.

Highly recommended. Been using for almost 4 years to remote access Linux workstations/servers. Still the best VNC app I've found, and it's given me the ability to perform meaningful remote tasks from anywhere via my phone. Easy to set up and highly configurable - I was able to quickly set up multiple connections from private and public networks using the VNC over SSH option. Supports passwords as well as RSA keys (easy to import) for better security. Once connected you get full functionality on the remote machine. The screen can be zoomed and panned, there's full mouse functionality including left/right/middle click, and the keyboard has CRTL, ESC, arrow, etc. keys. I upgraded to the pro version in recognition of the obvious amount of work that has gone into the app. Have a problem? I found the developer very responsive via the forum.

Works perfectly with Vino-Server on Mint, with encryption and password! super smooth experience
