Remote Ripple

ずっと使っているVNCアプリであるたいとTight VNC推薦なので応援の意味もあって360円を払ってみました。 が、サーバ側が遅いのもあるのですが、すぐ落ちます。 まだ検証不十分なんですが、LAN内のホストの指定方法が分かってないです。

Contected quickly to tight vnc servers. I just use it to check on my local computers to see task progress so it's good enough. Don't expect to navigate a desktop os easily obviously but this is good enough for some tasks and it's free.

Screen scaling seemed to function in a reasonable way on my iPad. Local network connections did not work until I gave them a fqdn.

Works great for local control. Over the LAN with TightVNC as the local server. Was able to zoom in on the phone, click, right click, with little latency.

This almost works. The screen looks good; it has a mostly usable virtual keyboard, and you can navigate a “Start Menu” by touching the screen. But as others have said, there is no scaling control. The app seems hard coded to magnify a small peephole from the desktop to fill the iPad or iPhone screen. I tried reducing my actual desktop resolution but never got it small enough. 1440 x 900 x desktop didn’t fit on the 2160 x 1600 iPad screen. Looked like maybe 1200 x 800 would have fit. I played with encoding and image quality settings; no effect on the scaling. Also I couldn’t execute a right-click. The mouse pointer would go to a location I touched on the iPad screen. But when I then touched the right-click button on the mouse widget, the pointer would first jump to that place (the spot under the mouse widget) on the remote screen, and THEN execute the right-click. The client shortcomings turned out to be irrelevant in my particular situation. I had hoped to watch “Forged Alliance Forever” replays on the iPad screen. FAF ran but the refresh rate was about 3 seconds / frame. Probably a server limitation. So, Remote Ripple did allow me to learn my idea wouldn’t work, at zero cost.

I’ve been using various VNC products for many years, and was excited to have a modern viewer for the iPad. This falls short. Good: it connects and works well. The mouse seems to work correctly with the touchpad keyboard I have on my iPad. Bad: there doesn’t seem to be any way to scale the screen, so I can only view a very small part of the computer screen I’m connected to. There is no way to edit the connection parameters other than deleting the connection and creating a new entry.

There’s a lot of VNC apps on the App Store and some of them are absurdly expensive. I just wanted to VNC into my PC so I can play Idle Champions from the living room while watching TV. So I installed TightVNC and then failing to find a free VNC app, downloaded this one. It does the job! Works great! Can’t complain.

Would rate 0 stars if I could. Cannot connect to local TightVNC client. App crashes. Now using the RealVNC Viewer app with problems at all. I want a refund.

Worked great for me. Im controlling my astrophotography pc from my phone. Worked straight away with no issues.

What good is a remote access app that needs to be on the same WiFi as the computer you want to control? If you and that computer are close enough to be on the same WiFi I imagine you can just run the host right from it’s key board, no?
