Jump Desktop (RDP, VNC, Fluid)

When you type on the iPad, not all letters are printed on the remote Mac. Two months of communication with support did not help.

Everything is so nice, just the app icon… is a bit outdated… please redesign it. At least support dark mode

It works really well but I want arrow keys on the top of the keyboard when using my phone in portrait mode without having to switch to the dedicated arrow key keyboard. The arrow keys show up fine in landscape mode so this can very easily be implemented in portrait mode.

The app is great, but there’s definitely one feature missing from it that would make it a lot better - onscreen gamepad for games (maybe configurable). Right now there’s no way to do anything like this - you can map the keys on the numeric keyboard, but there aren’t enough keys to meaningfully do anything with, and the full iOS keyboard doesn’t seem to register as instant input (from what I can tell). Not a huge huge issue, but I think it would making remote gaming a lot easier, as right now the only real option is an external controller or finding some sort of on screen accessibility keyboard for the desktop. Even a custom keyboard option that lets you choose your own keys would be an acceptable workaround

Jump Desktop is absolutely the best remote control app I’ve used. I can edit in realtime Final Cut Pro on my desktop using the IPad. This is the one you been looking for. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Six years ago, with this app, I retrieved a file from my computer. At the time I was in a different part of the country. It literally saved the day, and a bonus came my way for the data. If you need access to your desktop just like you were sitting in front of it this is the one.

I bought this app because I needed a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client app which allows me to set the RDP network quality setting, which is important to get proper performance when connecting to xrdp-based RDP hosts. This relatively expensive app, which advertises RDP as its first protocol (in its name) does not offer this setting. As the app didn’t meet my needs, I requested a refund from Apple, which was denied, and the subsequent appeal was denied too for whatever reason. Since I’m now stuck with this app which does not provide the RDP feature I need, I’m leaving this review so that others who are in the same boat may find this before buying and maybe getting stuck with it.

I was able to connect to my MacBook Pro M1 Max for about five seconds…then I went back to the login screen on the laptop. Then I was able to log in for about five seconds…then it kicked me back to the login screen on the MacBook. It does not work. Period. A total waste of my $15.

as much it support keyboard and mouse comprehensively, it lacks quite some feature compared to free competitors. no camera microphone redirection. and still doesn't support AVC444 or any form of hardware acceleration for rdp, easily tested by playing some video. if those are concerns, don't, until the developer implemented these.

I’m a pro photographer and a touchscreen really speeds up my workflow, but my apps are horrible on the iPad, so I have to use a Mac. The combo of this software, an iPad Pro, and a strong Mac is incredible. Jump Desktop is the only remote app I’ve come across that keeps up with graphic intensive apps. I can edit wedding photos over my mobile phone’s hotspot (with only 2 bars of reception) and the power of my MacBook Pro, the full-version of the photo editing apps, on my iPad Pro from anywhere I am! This changed everything for me and my workflow. I’ve been using another suite for years and Jump is way faster. Just grateful I finally tried this one. ONE downside… I’m not sure why pen pressure sensitivity belongs in an Enterprise Teams subscription for this app. Why not just charge extra for pen sensitivity? Even if a little expensive. I have to be in an enterprise, on a team for pen sensitivity? It doesn’t make sense. But it is what it is.

works but still laggy often. No updates. Wish it is as good as parsec on a desktop pc.
