NoMachine 4+

Might be fast, but it looks weird on iPad mini 6 and doesn’t support Portrait orientation, which is a dealbreaker for me. I’d ready like something as convenient as Jump, but with UDP support and forward error correction (together with probably low latency HEVC)

Thanks for your feedback. We are currently working on a major update which will fix the issues that iOS 16 users are experiencing. So keep your eyes peeled :-)

There’s tons of unrealized potential and this should easily be a five star app. If it was maintained like the desktop apps, it would be. When it was working, it was better than VNC, was better than MS RDP, doesn’t require the “cloud accounts” garbage that others now require and there’s no ads. I will always appreciate that I was able to effortlessly have my kid remote into a headless machine in my basement, to run school web apps (that would only work in Chrome browser) from an iPad, during the COVID lockdown. This app literally saved me from insanity, during a time when when my whole family suddenly had to work from home and affordable computers evaporated. It should be five stars, but as it is, it can’t be. It’s nice to read that so much work is being put into a new app release, but years between releases is a bit much and it’s been getting twitchier with every iOS update. Right now, it’s not usable. Fixing the display scaling issues to just make the app usable again and no other change, would add a star. Using the whole screen, would add another. Using hardware acceleration available on recent devices, would add a star. If codec licensing or advanced features requires a reasonable IAP, I can live with that. Letting the app rot is not good marketing for your ecosystem. More frequent app releases, even if they’re tiny incremental changes, make the NX ecosystem seem less risky and easier to convince employers to license. I still really appreciate what this app has done for me and hope iOS releases continue. Soon.

Hi, thanks so much for your critique which also gives us a interesting glimpse of how NX has been useful to you. We completely understand what you are saying. We know that we are late with a major update and rest assured it's coming. Once v8 for mobile is out, a more steady flow of updates will also come. First is to bring our users an app that runs on the more recent iOS versions and fix display issues that others have reported, as well as align it to NoMachine for Desktop 8. You mentioned hardware acceleration and this is planned. Work on iOS for that should start soon. Our developers are working flat out to bring you a top quality app that you expect: no cloud accounts, no ads and smooth sessions :-) Stay safe!

Sessions don't fill the screen on new iPad Mini's for that I can't give 4 stars otherwise the best vnc/ard alternative avail for Macos

Hi, thanks for your feedback. The next release (version 8) which we know is late will provide a much improved experience for all iOS users, then you will tell us if we deserve another star ;-)
