Mocha VNC Lite 4+

Using the free VNC Lite 1.1, I was able to help my mother, who is in another state, resolve a problem on her Mac by connecting to her desktop and looking at it. I moved some files from her desktop to the trash and deleted them, and the problem (she was getting a message stating "0 kb available") was resolved. If I should ever find a need for the ability to do more extensive remote interaction with my own or her computer, I'll happily upgrade to the full version. HOWEVER, I subsequently upgraded to VNC LITE v. 2.0 as it claimed "better screen control" as its new feature. But, whereas v. 1.1 had a scroll button (in the shape of a pointing finger), v. 2.0 does NOT have a scroll button that I can find. Whereas I do see a bit better control in navigating AROUND the screen, without the scroll button I could not find a way to move open windows or other icons around ON the screen. This seems to me a step back in functionality. I deleted v. 2.0 from my iPhone and synced to my computer, as I still had v. 1.1 stored in iTunes, and reinstalled v.1.1. When they replace the scroll button or provide instructions on how to utilize the lost functionality, I'll consider upgrading again.

The time limit was raised to 5 minutes. Thank you! Honestly this is the most useful app that I have. I manage my Plex server and run ThinVNC on it. This app works perfectly. The controls and mouse clicks work well and I've been very happy with it. On average it takes about 5-10 seconds to connect and then I'm off doing whatever I need to do. I can right-click on taskbar icons and everything. I'd buy the full version if it was just a little bit cheaper.

If you are not an IT professional good luck sorting through this maze of passwords, protocols, IP addresses, and menu upon menu upon confusing menu. It might also help to be able to reverse engineer what appears to be some kind of translation error in some of the instructions. I ended up feeling like my computer was going to be accessible by who knows who, but certainly not by me.
