8 of 25One time purchase has led to me thousands of hours of use. So amazing wish more apps were unlimited like this
The only reason I purchased this app was because they claim it works with Ubuntu. It does not. The app doesn’t not connect to Ubuntu 24.04 LST using remote desktop settings and when you try to download the Linux version of Jump desktop for web from their site, it just take you in a loop. If it works on mac or windows use one of the better and free apps out there. this is garbage and I want a refund.
App Hasn’t been updated in years. the battery drain is abysmal and not sustainable for good performance.
Doesn’t seem to be able to connect to my MacBook. This app hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. Definitely a questionable purchase at this point.
I love this app but when it’s on the background on my iPhone it drains like 70% in 4 hours if I don’t force close it. Please fix this. iPhone Air latest ios
I have used this app for years and I have never had an issue with it.
A great app, except currently (4/20/26) still does not support ED25519 Keys. Otherwise, a super solid app. But, lacking ED25519 Keys support has forced me to use other apps!
Honestly, I’ve never written a review for any app in the App Store, as far as I know. This is the only app I use constantly, whether for work or personal use. Worth every penny.
