RealVNC Viewer: Remote Desktop

RealVNC Limited

About this app

RealVNC Viewer remote desktop


RealVNC® Viewer turns your phone into a remote desktop, giving you instant access to your Mac, Windows and Linux computers from anywhere in the world. You can view your computer's desktop remotely, and control its mouse and keyboard as though you were sitting down in front of it.

Just visit realvnc.com and download RealVNC Connect remote access software to each computer you want to control. Then sign in to RealVNC Viewer on your device using your RealVNC account credentials. Your remote computers automatically appear; simply tap one to screen share.

Alternatively, you can connect directly to RealVNC Connect with an Enterprise subscription or VNC-compatible software from third parties by entering the remote computer's IP address. Note that you may need to configure firewalls and port forward routers.

RealVNC Connect password-protects each remote computer out-of-the-box (you may need to enter the same user name and password you use to log in to your computer). All sessions are then encrypted end-to-end.

During a session, your device's touch screen serves as a trackpad to give you precise control of the remote desktop. Drag your finger to move the remote mouse cursor and tap anywhere to left-click (other gestures such as right-click and scroll are explained in-app).

Ratings and reviews

When it works, it's great. But, let it not connect the first time it tries, and it won't connect at all until you force close the app, maybe reboot your phone, perhaps reset time itself back to when it would work. Otherwise, all you'll see is "failed to resolve domain name" even though every other device is resolving it just fine. Also, who's genius idea was it to put the keyboard function in a pull-down from the top menu? Exactly where most of our phones have the pull-down notification window?

Haven't had any problems connecting, except when I have bad cell service, or my computer at home is downloading a large file, using all the bandwidth, which can't be blamed on the app at all. It works well, and the mouse/keyboard options can be toggled at will, making sure the screen isn't cluttered with extra features until you need them.

This software used to be free, now it's just a big fat money grab. They start off by FORCING you to create an account (so they can harvest even more data to sell) then they limit what the software does to the point it's basically useless, then they let you know you can buy a subscription.. trash, stay away from it, it's bloated, and slow, and full of money grab gotchyas
