  Apparently its a really crappy program atm. But you are getting it for free, which is a license for future updates. Eventually it'll be a really decent app.

  I was using this when it was cheap for android to access my PC whilst not at home, but further reading about it turned me away. You access your pc via IP address and password, both of which are transmitted as plain text over the net. This makes it highly insecure as opposed to some of the alternative options like TeamViewer.

  The developers have admitted to this, stating that they rely on the encryption of your wifi to ensure security. So its fine for use within a network, but not something you would want to expose to the internet.

  Splashtop Remote HD is also on special (for iPad). It's a great alternative to traditional VNC / RDP solutions that allows sound / video to stream on your ipad.

  Why do you need to pay for it when Microsoft has RDP client for free (for the Mac)?

  Using this on my Macbook and works very well - without the bugs that everyone is complaining about here.

  Also, theres plenty of better alternatives for the Android and ipad anyway.. (either paid or free)

  I use this app on my Ipad and thought it was good. Are there better alternatives on the Ipad?
