Splashtop Personal 4+

picture in picture works fine on ios 12. Best app though

I bought Splashtop to compare iTeleport. My conclusion is that these apps compliment each other, rather than compete.

Unlike Splashtop, iTeleport connects over 3G as well as WiFi, so you can remotely connect to your computer away from the home or office network. iTeleport also an infinitely better UI when it comes to controlling your computer at full resolution (which Splashtop doesn't do).

Where Splashtop excels is in the simplicity of the app. Splashtop had no problem finding my computer on the network, and when it connected it automatically changes the computer resolution to optimize with the iPad. Mousing used the direct touch option (where you touch you click) - this feels strange after using iTeleport, but it is a good option for simple tasks.

The wireless network I am testing on is not my own, is notoriously slow as it supports over 40 connections, and also has several firewalls and other security controls. None of these affected Splashtop which ran at an astounding speed, however, iTeleport could not establish a connection.

Even if you already have a VNC remote app such as iTeleport, Splashtop is absolutely worth adding to your app collection and is a perfect compliment to a VNC remote app.

A remarkably functional application that gives very responsive remote control of any system that will run the streaming application (eg Windows or OS X) at a decent resolution. I find the odd subscription method for the ability to use it off-network, a feature that I consider to me the most useful ability of the app, to be a bit unnecessary. It does make it cheaper in the short term to what appears to be one of the primary alternatives, being LogMeIn Ignition, but a subscription method to add extra plugins for onscreen shortcuts rather than adding them as upgraded features in the app seems a bit mean, especially as the upgrade button can't be disabled if you have no interest in the module.

Regardless, if you have a need to be able to remotely access a PC and VNC is just too unusable via a portable device, then Splashtop is pretty hard to beat. Responsive controls, streaming efficient enough that you can watch movies or play games (albeit with difficulty due to touchscreen controls) complete with audio, on newer LTE enabled devices its even practical, although possibly not affordable due to data usage, to use for remote media streaming via the cell network. Just be aware of how restrictive the app is in its "free" form, for many it may well still be all they need.
