Ratings and Reviews
Wow! That was easy.
It took less than 10 minutes to install the Screens apps on my iPad and Mac, register an account and get connected.
This solves the perennial Apple problem of not being able to sync POP emails across devices. Now I just log in to my Mac, where ever I am and use the eMail client complete with spam filtering and it is all at my finger tips.
Superb!
Very Nice, almost perfect.
The App setup is great - really nice experience. Screens Connect is fantastic - I’m able to connect to my laptop very easily from anywhere with my 4G iPad. The Mobile Trackpad on a companion iOS device is a great idea.
There are few big issues that stop my giving it 5 stars as they stop me using my Mac as I normally would, but just on my iPad.
Resolution Matching - Screens Connect needs an option to automatically adjust the resolution to be the same ratio or match the iPad resolution on connection.
Keyboard Shortcuts - These are a pain as they conflict with iOS shortcuts. One option would be for the mobile trackpad to display Cmd, Alt, Ctrl or custom buttons that work only for the remote machine.
As a bonus, I would love a button that opens an SSH terminal window on the client machine - maybe just an integration with Prompt or Terminus. But maybe this is just me...
Great and useful app!
What a unique and useful app. Initially had some issues, but their customer services team were extraordinarily quick to respond and helped me through it.
The app certainly gives me the freedom to access my person Mac at home while in the office using my work PC. Working full time and concurrently studying a post grad make this app so useful to me.
