Jump Desktop (RDP, VNC, Fluid)

The app work as intended. I used it with stage manager and this is the only App that can allow me to properly use Stage Manager in a way that I can have a VNC screen in Window mode on either screen without affecting the other. However, the app would need some UI updates, it is quite old fashioned. Also there is a weird logo screen in the external screen when starting the App.

This app is super great! I really appreciate the interface and it works even faster than real VNC ever did!

If you are looking for a remote control ptogram that can do everything you can do on your Mac, this is not it. In fact! So far I have not found any remote control program that can do anything even remotely similar. The image shown does not accurately reflect the Mac screen. It's a pain to use, because each task takes much longer than if you were doing it on your Mac. If you use multiple desktops on your Mac, you can't easily switch between them. However, the protocols used by the app can interfere with secure payment methods, so it's recommended that you exit the app completely before using important shopping or government sites.

Connect easily to desktop and now can lock remote screen, a valuable addition. Not experienced any issues, just make sure to create your login and use that id in settings, you need to have remote login and screen sharing, or remote managememt turned on.

After updating to iPadOS 17 Jump no longer shows up any RDP servers, just a black screen.

This app is great but why is it never updated? Is it literally so perfect that it never requires any modification of any kind? If you pay for software, its generally great that it works well over an extended period of time. But you also are paying for development support too; app improvements, new features and particularly app optimisations. I’m glad I bought it but at the same time feel let down by the developers.

This app just eats mobile data in the background and there is no option to disable background app refresh. So, when I’m on the road I have to constantly disable/enable mobile data when I need to access a computer remotely. The app also has the habit to autonomously reconnect to machines I disconnected from. If I’m not on the ball, JumpDesktop can easily eat a GB or two of mobile data in just a couple of hours whilst running on the background. It would be a great app if it wasn’t for these highly significant and very annoying issues.

Better than MS RDP but still not perfect for the ipad magic keyboard I bought this hoping this can make the windows RDP experience perfect but I find the some of the macro scheme not very helpful and getting in the way of original windows shortcuts. Customisable macros would solve this once for all. Would also be useful if the globe key can be utilised as a function key.

I used to use Luna Display (physical dongle) to allow me to use my iPad Pro (M1) as the primary screen for my Mac Mini. But it's tied to the local network and lately has a recurring connection issue. With an impending trip, I decided to check out alternatives similar to TeamViewer. The forums recommended Jump Desktop, and wow! It's my new fav app. Pros: It works with my Logitech Pebble Bluetooth mouse and Arteck cheap Bluetooth keyboard connected to my iPad. It also works with my Apple Pencil and has a keyboard button to bring up a virtual keyboard, a great backup in a pinch. It also wakes my computer from sleep which Luna often fails to do. The lag and speed seem comparable to Luna, which is impressive as Luna is a physical stick. Cons: So far the only real niggle was it had a hard time deciding how big the screen was on the normal setting (scrolling page would shift window) but I changed the settings to Locked Screen and set my display resolution to a specified width instead of automatic and it works beautifully. It is a little less sharp than Luna, reading etc the text is a hair fuzzier, but it's negligible considering it works from anywhere.

Use it daily, and it works brilliantly with the magic keyboard
