RealVNC Viewer: Remote Desktop App Reviews

I use it to manage a couple of headless RPis. I recommend it, its powerful and easy to use.

Even if Im now a 24hours worker, vnc is a terrific program!!

Everything works as expected!! Great work

Got this app just to try with my iPhone 5... Mostly connects without issues... Didnt read the manual so had some initial connection issues, but the apps guidance to resolve was good.. Feature request: allow sound to be sent from server to client so I can listen to iTunes (on my pc) on my phone. Good product overall, so Ill be getting VNC server licensed before the free trial expires.

After I updated my phone the app will not connect to my computer

Use this app daily to control my tv - never tearing/painting - awesome vnc implementation!

Simple, fast, secure and i personally find it as best remote software compared to team-viewer. Your whole team rocks. Keep it up.

Need I say more?!

1) It is too cumbersome to quickly get access to the keyboard. There should be a way to open the keyboard without pinning the task bar and tapping the keyboard icon. (E.g. Let the user define what the different gestures do, so that three finger swipe or tap could immediately bring it up). 2) The task bar needs to include a control alt delete button like it has on the desktop version. It is cumbersome when logging in to have to tap control, then alt, and then delete to unlock the computer. 3) Related to 2: There is a glitch where alt is kept selected after hitting control alt delete to log in which prevents the keyboard from actually inputting any text into the password prompt and thus requiring to the user to tap alt again to have it unselected. This is also cumbersome. 4) Enable support for Swiftpoint like Jump Desktop. This is a great enterprise feature. (Note you can use Jump Desktop with RealVNC Server, and that is currently the best option with RealVNC until this app improves further). 5) Audio. The iPad should be able to act as the speaker and mic (and camera if possible) for the remote computer like others remote desktop systems can. 6) Video. There should be an option to stream video. Other remote applications like splash desktop are able to accomplish this by buffering information in a compressed format to prepare it for the mobile device. This is a very useful feature.

I refuse to give RealVNC anything less than five stars. But their new update is somewhat broken. Now, if you dont have internet connection, the list of computers does not appear, and even the computer through Bonjour, does not work. Click on a computer to connect and you get a white screen. Needs work but I still love the app as a whole including the desktop version.

Very smooth and easy to operate, thanks a bunch! Great app

The interface is easy to set up and works very well. It is able to connect in poor signal situations when the older tightvnc will not. Also, the encryption feature is good. The "offset from-your-finger pointer is OK for iPhone. But I would much prefer the "pointer under finger" mode for iPad. My ipad remote keyboard does not work with ios9. Otherwise typing OK. In Ios9, the screen never times out if RealVNC viewer is open. This runs the iPad battery down very quickly.. Also, the pointer following, but not being directly your finger on iPad is quite aggrivating. Also, on my iPad at least, the three finger downward swipe required to cause VNC disconnect is unreliable. It may take 6 to 10 swipes to bring up the disconnect option. But..Overall, it works OK.. ..

Using this on my iPad pro, it works perfect for me to effectively control my iMac.

Love the way it scrolls when I move the mouse. Works well enough for me to be able to have a Remote Desktop session using my iPad.

This is probably one of the greatest apps on the App Store! Super useful, easy to use and a breeze to set up!

All the addressing problems I was having, and all the frustration I had because of them, all fixed in this update. Very nice, keep up the good work.

Does what it says. Connects seamlessly. Lots of control options.

Daily user. Absolutely a must tool in IT world. Love love love it!

Use it every day. Does what I want to do. A few quibbles, but nothing serious.

Works great almost all of the time. It might be nice if the "timeout" was adjustable in the settings. Some times when I switch to another App the program seems to time out too quickly.
