The best rdp app and developer always improving it!!!

X70%
by X####:

For my purposes the best VNC client: SSH transport, mouse/touchpad works including right-click, CTRL key and other special keys work properly. Other VNC clients are always missing in some department.

N70%
by N####:

Great, simple VNC client software. Works flawlessly with Linux Mint host running default desktop sharing utility. If you need to move away from the RealVNC product, this is an outstanding alternative.

by D####:

fantastic vnc! I use it all the time to remotely control my Linux desktop and server

O70%
by O####:

This app fits perfectly my need to use VNC via SSH tunnel. Allows me to do quick remote trouble shooting of servers from my phone.

L70%
by L####:

Great app. Was looking for a replacement for "VNC Viewer for Android" (last update 2011-03) and this one has pretty much all I need, and it's still under development. It would be great to have a better keyboard overlay like the one JuiceSSH has (Ctrl, Arrows, ...), but it works good the way it is.

I love this app.becauee it supports VNC over Secure SSH

D70%
by D####:

Out of the 4 (or so) VNC clients I've tried, this is the only one that works with my Ubuntu 15.10 - and it works well!! Set up is easy and the connection is instantaneous - at least on my local network. I'll try the internet remote connection tomorrow at the coffee shop. The screen sized to my native rez on my laptop. Settings are straightforward as well. I'm not sure about the negative reviews but this app is perfect. That's why I bought it. Thanx Devs. Happy customer. :D

2.99 is a tremendous value, paying monthly fees for access to your computers is silly when you can use this great utility, I use it for my business quickly drop in on employees and making sure they are doing what they are supposed to be doing on the computer, complete transparency. Easy to set up, easy to use, hats off to the the developer for making such an affordable and feature laden application.

by D####:

bVNC is a great app. I use it with tightVNC on my home server running win7 x64. I only wish file transfer was supported, please implement for the ultimate, remote PC management tool.

K70%
by K####:

Requires a lot more configuration options: for example my remote screen shows up at the bottom (there should be an ability to center/fill/top placement of the remote screen when it has smaller resolution than the phone/tablet). Immersive mode should be optional (no need for it when the remote screen has less height than the phone/tablet screen).

Easily add your home network PC's and control them with VNC. Touch controls are nice. Send text function is so handy for repetitive tasks. Great App.

Just doesn't work. Now i cannot get a refund. Big fail. Please refund me as it is a boat anchor when it did work straight away. Maybe because i also update to day to version 6.0.1 os.

Unable to work with default GNOME Vino settings as it enforces an encryption method that not supported on Android.

It was working ok, but now I can't connect to Ubuntu desktop sharing, can you help me

O70%
by O####:

I like how this VNC client just works. I've been using tigervnc's -via option a lot and this app offers the exact same functionality. It's simple, effective and fast. I also like the fact that the interface is the same as with aRDP and aSPICE. Besides, the multiple mouse modes are a must, I'm used to trackpads so I prefer trackpad mode and not many apps offer that.

K70%
by K####:

Check the free version works before buying this. Used to be my go to app now stopped working after android 6 update. Crashes on pan or zoom. Frustrating since paid for app now broken. Android vnc still works though and is free.

Does everything needed. I'd give 5 stars if you could swipe down for the back/home buttons rather than having the black bar take up extra space.

I really like this app for my VNC needs. Unfortunately it does not support RealVNC's encryption which I use at home and I have to leave it unencrypted. Will this come in future versions?

Excellent, this is the best app. Great great great job, hats off to the developers.Thank you.

Q70%
by Q####:

Used to connect to my Linode server running TigerVNC. Excellent performance, butter-smooth on fast connections even with my 2012 Nexus 7. I do have one suggestion, though: Allow the user to control the level of JPEG compression when using Tight encoding, so that the user can set the right trade-off between quality and bandwidth requirements. The heavy-handed JPEG compression isn't exactly necessary or ideal when on a fast Wi-Fi connection, and I'd rather not fall back on the inefficient Hextile encoding.

P70%
by P####:

I use this on my phone regularly, but on a tablet with a Bluetooth keyboard it's every bit as good as sitting in front of the machine's graphical console. Nice work!

W70%
by W####:

Now I can develop and support directly from my phone.

Z70%
by Z####:

Cool software

B70%
by B####:

Great app! The only thing I could ask for would be a feature request to support resizing the geometry of the window. I've come to enjoy tigervnc's ability to adjust to changes in window sizing and entering full screen by dynamically adjusting the resolution. I think that would be a great feature so that if I connect from my tablet, I would get native resolution (1080p). And when I connect from my phone I would also get native resolution (UHD / 4k)...

N70%
by N####:

Well made very useful software with base functionality released as open source. The only one with working peripherals support and still comfortable for touch screen. I can only complain about the numpad not working and smaller screens not being centered.

M70%
by M####:

Does everything I need from a VNC viewer and I really like the input method options. Very responsive app at various connection speeds. The developer is also friendly and timely when responding to emails. Well worth supporting this app.

G70%
by G####:

I use this app to administer several FreeBSD and Linux VPSes behind a public IP address. The VPSes are managed by Qemu/KVM and VNC listens on a private IP/Port pairing. bVNC navigates this scenario well.

M70%
by M####:

bVNC does everything I need a VNC app to do, and it does it better than the alternatives... for free. The Pro version doesn't add anything I rely on, but for its modest price, it's well worth the satisfaction of doing a little bit to support the development of this free and open-source project.

B70%
by B####:

This is the only VNC client that won't cripple a Bluetooth keyboard's arrow, other motion, function, and Ctrl & Alt keys. Ditto for "Hacker's Keyboard". [Every other VNC client will mess up those keyboards.] It also has decent latency over the network. Well worth donating for.

X70%
by X####:

I have been using this app for about 9 months now and with the hackers keyboard for standard keyboard commands i can control my broadcast automation system from anywhere.
