Crashes - does not run

Apple M1 Sonoma 14.2.1 laptop. Won't even start, core dumps immediately. Report sent to Apple. Hate spending money on an app that doesn't work even if its only $8.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, Greg.Thanks for getting in touch. You can always get your money back on the App Store! Please follow the instructions on: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/118223. The Mac version is x86_64 to support Intel Macs that are still quite widespread. For your particular Mac, you can download the Designed for iPad version which will have no crashes related to Rosetta and x86_64 emulation on Silicon.Please reach out to support _at_ morpheusly _dot_ com for help, as there is a lot that we can help you with, including giving away the app for free. My intention is not to stick users with software that doesn't work for them but to have each and every user happy with what they have.Thanks for your feedback and looking forward to your response!

Works well with piKVM

This might be the only VNC client on iOS that works more or less flawlessly for connecting to piKVM devices.
