Does what it needs to, not sure it's worth a subscription

The app does what it needs to, but it's not too different from the previous version or the competitors that it meets my requirements for a subscrition service. Not that the app is not good, its just that for me one time pricing is preferable, especially where free alternatives provide the same functionality. So, sad to say goodbye to Screens but I guess there's a time for everything.

Developer Response ,

Hello! Appreciate your feedback. We're committed to continually enhancing Screens by introducing new features over time, ensuring it evolves as a dynamic screen-sharing solution. Wishing you a delightful day!

Not worth the money!

Screens 4 was perfectly adequate for me. Now that version can suddenly not be downloaded anymore and I need to pay for a subscription to connect to my servers?

End of Screens for me!

Developer Response ,

We appreciate your feedback, and we understand that the transition to a subscription model can be a significant change for our users.

subscription but no info

Tried it, works like advertised, but no info whatsoever/anywhere on the new pricing model. (not in the app store nor the app itself)
Don't like being led into a situation without information up front. So moving back to RealVNC after many years of Screens 4 use.

Developer Response ,

Hello! We appreciate your feedback. You can find the pricing information easily before downloading the app—simply check the bottom of the product description on the App Store. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. We're here to help!
