Splashtop - Remote Desktop

This app does exactly what I was hoping- I have a MacBook Pro in my bedroom hooked up to a monitor that I love but try not to move it around too much (have a 12.9 iPad that is generally more portable) but I love macOS and prefer using it whenever I can. This app allows me to use my iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard and have macOS accessible- and if you have the upgraded subscription you don’t even have to be on the same network. I’m able to remote into the MacBook from 2000 miles away with limited lag. Couldn’t recommend more. The connection is stable and you can leave the app (like I am currently typing this in the App Store on iPad) and hop back in when you are done without having to login or refresh. It doesn’t reload in the background (unlike many other remote apps with the Xbox remote play as an example) and you can continue your work flow.

This app has worked from day one and just keeps on performing great. I when traveling the remote access is so convenient. Over the years I have had the app, I have had small problems when Apple updates their Macos, but always downloading their latest streamer on my computers have got it working again. The only other gocha is when traveling you might need to check that it auto reboots after a power failure and have at least one computer that never goes to sleep. It wakes up computers locally, but not remotely. A first class product. My only wish for a missing feature was always At you had to upgrade business version to transfer files, but now with iCloud, it is easy to put your remote file on the iCloud Drive (if it is not already there) using Splashtop and you have access to it where ever you are. No more forgotten files. Wonderful.

Primary purpose for purchasing SplashTop was to TCB when away from home. It's amazing how from California I could literally use my home computer to download jobs from email and Internet and even print invoices in Maryland. On a convenience level I can sit in kitchen in the morning and use iPad Air to play Webkinz via SplashTop to PC. I will be renewing license come June. Amazingly this works just as well on my Moto X2! There was no additional monthly payment for wi-fi use but I bought the Anywhere use so even in the middle of a parking lot I can use cellular service to connect to home. Couldn't be more pleased. Even taking care of just one work crisis while away from the office makes the yearly fee well worthwhile! LOL it works as well from Hong Kong to USA! If I could only have one app it would be SplashTop! A++++
