4/5Great app!
Now I CAN leave my laptop behind! There is no hyperbole in this comment. I set up a VPN on my home network and complement it with Jump. I have installed it on my iPhone, iPad, Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro. I use it to connect to my desktop (Mac Mini) when I am away from home. I also use it from anywhere when I connect to my Ubuntu file, and network servers, and any one of my Ubuntu Virtual Box VMs. It is a proven winner for me using RDP, and VNC protocols. Since I have access to my home desktop, I can do my remote software development work without having to be stuck at home. The only downside is that I occasionally lose connections. This may be due to weak WiFi or when my OS goes to sleep, I don’t know. But it is super easy to re-establish the connection manually. I think I spent $10 in the App Store and is totally worth it. I compared with several RDP apps which are either free or for a fee (including the remote desktop from the software giant) before I committed to Jump. Jump is definitely the better value on all platforms.

1/5Latest update for Mac screws over loyal users
I went to launch Jump Desktop on my Intel Mac only to be greeted by a popup that they have switched over to Metal which requires me to now go in and manually download an older version of Jump Desktop from their website. Upon doing this, it asks you for your password 20x over and over and over and over again and when it finally loads it tells you that you need a Teams account or to purchase a new license? What? I’ve used Jump since it was first created and now you want me to purchase another license? And why was this change made when you KNEW what kind of experience it would provide for users on older hardware? This is where you start to see red flags with companies - when you can make changes like this and say screw our loyal customers that have been with us from the beginning they’ll figure it out or get over it - that’s a dangerous mindset. When trying to go around this and use Jump desktop on my iPad, it shows the computer online, but then when you try to connect to it you’re shown a popup saying its offline. Even after I’ve changed the settings to wake on network connection, etc. Jump still fails to connect. I miss the good ole’ days when Jump was useful and did what it advertised. Someone needs to have an Jobs/MobileMe conversation with the software team.

5/5Excellent app, reasonably priced and not on a subscription model!
I was using RealVNC which worked fine for one VNC host but not another, which switching to Jump Desktop solved those problems. I'm willing to pay a reasonable price for software that does the job, which this app does far and beyond that. Thank you so much for not offering a subscription model like another VNC app that wants $119USD for a "lifetime" license. I highly recommend this app for its usefulness, quality and for the developer offering it at a reasonable price. This is petty but the inclusion of various Linux distros icons [to assign to various sessions] is a nice touch. As for the posts about local security there's an option to require touch or Face ID to view an open session. If you use your device outside of a secure area (like in an office) then you should enable this. Credit to the developer for adding this important feature. Highly, highly recommended.

5/5This is the one you’re looking for
After getting my iPad I was disheartened to learn that sidecar wasn’t as fully featured as I hoped. While the picture was fantastic, it didn’t support an external mouse or the trackpad on the magic keyboard. So I started searching for remote desktop applications that would fit the bill of allowing me to access my desktop across the house with minimal effort. To my horror, I realized that almost none of them provided an easy way to resize my screen to fit the iPad resolution, further, when connected to an external monitor, they maintained the iPad 4:3 aspect ratio, which made for an unpleasant experience. Much to my surprise, this app not only automatically resizes the screen to the iPad resolution (when using their protocol and app), but it ALSO changes the video out resolution to fit whatever monitor you hook it up to. Absolutely incredible work! Well worth the money.

4/5Almost perfect
I’m a pro photographer and a touchscreen really speeds up my workflow, but my apps are horrible on the iPad, so I have to use a Mac. The combo of this software, an iPad Pro, and a strong Mac is incredible. Jump Desktop is the only remote app I’ve come across that keeps up with graphic intensive apps. I can edit wedding photos over my mobile phone’s hotspot (with only 2 bars of reception) and the power of my MacBook Pro, the full-version of the photo editing apps, on my iPad Pro from anywhere I am! This changed everything for me and my workflow. I’ve been using another suite for years and Jump is way faster. Just grateful I finally tried this one. ONE downside… I’m not sure why pen pressure sensitivity belongs in an Enterprise Teams subscription for this app. Why not just charge extra for pen sensitivity? Even if a little expensive. I have to be in an enterprise, on a team for pen sensitivity? It doesn’t make sense. But it is what it is.
