User reviews

The application was free and billed as free and have been using it for 2 years without being asked for a subscription. The publishers pulled rug out and now it asks for a subscription to connect to my devices. I will find a more suitable product for my needs that at least advertises a price rather than builds dependency and charges afterwards. I cannot reccomend this product less.

Was my go to app for VNC. It was easy to setup and go. Now they are retiring their free service and going for a subscription. Time to go for a Foss alternative. I just need it to remote into a headless once a day. I would have gladly just paid a one time license fee but so be it. Remember, in the future you'll own nothing and be happy about it.
