I always asked myself how much I actually needed VNC on my iPad, assuming it’d be a major headache to accommodate. Screens, that’s a cinch to configure and totally intuitive to operate, practically made my objections irrelevant.

What is it?

Screens, iPhone and iPad, $15 . a perfect simple, super pretty VNC client for iOS. Basically you get to govern your main machine as you could possibly whenever you were sitting there-Screens supports multitouch gestures, offers quick access to the dock, and has big touchable buttons for known shortcuts. It’s a snap to setup and works with most VNC servers for Windows, Mac, and LInux.

Who’s it good for?

People who would like to access their main machines from their iOS devices but feel a bit of daunted by the chance of establishing a VNC server and client; those that value a cultured VNC experience; those who just can’t quit their multitouch gestures.

Why’s it better than alternatives?

Screens is without doubt one of the simplest iOS VNC clients to hooked up and one of the crucial intuitive to take advantage of. There’s hardly any learning curve whatsoever, and gesture support is clutch for trackpad jockeys.

How could it’s even better?

Screens is a relatively new app and may get crashy every now and then.
