Works great but SSH with RSA broken

The app works well, but beware that the app doesn't like RSA SSH keys much. Better to use ed25519 or ecdsa keys. They're more secure anyways.

Developer Response
https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/issues/540For whoever reported RSA keys not working with bVNC, aRDP or aSPICE, I found the root cause, and I suspected it's a server-side issue.1. I checked /var/log/auth.log on an Ubuntu 22.04 machine which was reproducing the issue, and found:May 19 21:33:18 subgenius sshd[3205570]: userauth_pubkey: key type ssh-rsa not in PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms [preauth]2. Edited as user root the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config and I added to the bottom of it:PubkeyAcceptedAlgorithms ssh-rsa3. I restarted the server with:Ubuntu 22.04:systemctl restart sshMacOS Ventura and newer:launchctl stop sshlaunchctl start sssh4. Thereafter RSA keys worked again.

Works well with piKVM

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

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.-Greg

Developer Response
Great feedback for an ancient version before the silicon build was released. Thanks :)

There is no password prompt, you are forced to trust and store passwords with this app.

This review no longer reflects anything approaching the reality of the app's features.
