8 of 75***** This app leaves me wanting for nothing -- all the special keys are available, ie arrow, control, alt, windows-key, F1-F12, tab (indispensable with Linux terminals -- in fact, I have been unable to find an SSH terminal app that sufficiently supports such keys, so I use this VNC app instead). Crashes & other BS problems are rare. For me, this app has been worth the price.
I just wish it had a one button start like the lite VNC. Other than that, I love it.
Use it as a remote for Netflix on my computer. And I can freak out my family but secretly setting it up on their computers as well!
Great app works really good I use it all the time
Used mocha vnc for years. This destroys it in quality.
Connects smoothly, easy to expand/contract magnification, good control of remote machine. I switched from pcAnywhere because this is much better. Latest version even better.
I've been using Real VNC for years and have never had a problem. Great App!
This app nails it! I'm able to remote desktop into all my macs both locally via bonjour and remotely via IP. More stable, no session drops, and more intuitive than Splashtop and LogMeIn.
