Great, as always.

Been a long time user of Screens and this new version is even better than its predecessor. The developer is prompt to help their users and keep maintaining the app on a regular basis. This is a good investment, trust me!

Amazing update and great app !

It’s great to see a developper keep on updating their app - love the new features. Very useful and easy to use.

It is what it is

A Remote Desktop app can/should only be Remote Desktop. Not much innovation can be done/added…. Don’t fool by Screens 5’s eye candies. Just keep using Screens 4 and/or better yet there are many alternatives in the App Store ;)

Developer Response ,

Hi! Screens 5 is a major rewrite and has many improvements over its predecessor. We have exciting new features planned for next year! Also, since Screens is now a universal app, a purchase of either plans now covers all Apple devices, including all your iOS devices. Have a great day!
