NoMachine

There’s tons of unrealized potential and this should easily be a five star app. If it was maintained like the desktop apps, it would be. When it was working, it was better than VNC, was better than MS RDP, doesn’t require the “cloud accounts” garbage that others now require and there’s no ads. I will always appreciate that I was able to effortlessly have my kid remote into a headless machine in my basement, to run school web apps (that would only work in Chrome browser) from an iPad, during the COVID lockdown. This app literally saved me from insanity, during a time when when my whole family suddenly had to work from home and affordable computers evaporated. It should be five stars, but as it is, it can’t be. It’s nice to read that so much work is being put into a new app release, but years between releases is a bit much and it’s been getting twitchier with every iOS update. Right now, it’s not usable. Fixing the display scaling issues to just make the app usable again and no other change, would add a star. Using the whole screen, would add another. Using hardware acceleration available on recent devices, would add a star. If codec licensing or advanced features requires a reasonable IAP, I can live with that. Letting the app rot is not good marketing for your ecosystem. More frequent app releases, even if they’re tiny incremental changes, make the NX ecosystem seem less risky and easier to convince employers to license. I still really appreciate what this app has done for me and hope iOS releases continue. Soon.

Might be fast, but it looks weird on iPad mini 6 and doesn’t support Portrait orientation, which is a dealbreaker for me. I’d ready like something as convenient as Jump, but with UDP support and forward error correction (together with probably low latency HEVC)

Sessions don't fill the screen on new iPad Mini's for that I can't give 4 stars otherwise the best vnc/ard alternative avail for Macos

Currently using it for quick checks my 3 home machines. One Window, one Mac and one Linux all from my iPad. Works great for all 3! Lots of help and options. Desktop clarity is better than some of the commercial products I tried. Definitely recommend this product. Easy to set up and NO account creation required on a 3rd party server first!

It’s a client for Nomachine/NX. It works well, mouse control feels good, performance is good, seems stable. The interface feels a bit busy and dated, but everything you need is there. Can’t compare to VNC as the performance of NX is much better. Not quite as refined as RDP in Windows 10, but an excellent option for macOS and Linux hosts.

While not the greatest app, it is functional and works adequately. The developer could copy some ideas from the MS rdp app or vnc to improve it but its not really a 1 star. More like a 3 star with some room to improve. It connects you and you can do some basic checking but tou wouldnt use it for more than that.

I find this app terrible. I use MochaVNC as well as this app and find the interface on this app very hard to use. Switching between mouse and click and the zoom functions are a pain. I certainly prefer to use No Machine on my PC over VNC, however, the opposite is the case when using my phone apps.

Don’t understand the bad reviews. This works amazingly well. It was a huge step up from using Google Remote Desktop.

Great app! Just two more bugs to fix here. Stage Manager bug - you can’t start NoMachine on the external screen. But you can drag it from the iPad screen to the external screen. The window can be made bigger but not resizing or full screen not possible in stage manager external screen. When this is fixed NoMachine will be perfect. Fixed Magic Keyboard bug - thanks!

This app was absolutely unusable for months after iOS updates. They layout never changed or scaled in portrait and landscape, and all you could see was half the screen at any given time and no controls. A simple thing to make this app useable went unaddressed and emails unanswered for months. Hopefully it’s working, but the lack of support, even when paying, is a total deal breaker. I dumped this a while back and got our systems on something that’s maintained and actually addresses issues in a timely manner.
