Screens Reviews

Wow! That was easy.

Hairless Jim on

It took less than 10 minutes to install the Screens apps on my iPad and Mac, register an account and get connected. This solves the perennial Apple problem of not being able to sync POP emails across devices. Now I just log in to my Mac, where ever I am and use the eMail client complete with spam filtering and it is all at my finger tips. Superb!

Unique

I’ve been using this app for years! I rarely write reviews but this app is so well made. Easy to use and excellent quality! Thank you so much!

The best Remote Desktop app for iPad

ipad programmer on

United Kingdom

I’ve tried a few free apps for Remote Desktop, and the best of a bad bunch was VNCconnect. Screens however has the best display quality, it is nearly fully native, there is no headache inducing blurring of the screen. I was sceptical but hopeful but the price is worth it for headache free display and good interactive functionality.

Love this app

sprutton on

United Kingdom

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s been rock solid for damn near all that time and, for the times I have had minor issues, the technical support has been quick and incredibly knowledgeable. 100% recommended!!

Okay when it connects

kingothekippax on

United Kingdom

Good app when it connects which is probably 25% of the time. I use this to connect my iPad with my MacBook and wish it worked! Very expensive for something that is hit & miss.

Can’t set it up for pc

1Unusestdeus on

United Kingdom

It says that I need to set it up first on a MAC, the problem is that I don’t have a MAC, just pc and iPad Pro :(

Great and useful app!

United Kingdom

What a unique and useful app. Initially had some issues, but their customer services team were extraordinarily quick to respond and helped me through it. The app certainly gives me the freedom to access my person Mac at home while in the office using my work PC. Working full time and concurrently studying a post grad make this app so useful to me.

Excellent

Reliable, easy to use and essential software.

Once I get it to work I’ll give it a better rating
