Mocha VNC for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great app for Admins, Not for average users, needs some work.This app is great if you are an on call admin who may need to log in 24x7. Saves me from having to tote around a laptop and wireless card. Using 8-bit color it is plenty fast over the EDGE network to reboot a server or fix a few problems. Full version seems to have a few more bugs than the free version. A) Crashes about 30% of the time I load it. B) The caps key does not seem to work, so if I have an uppercase letter in a password I'm hosed. Even with the bugs it has still saved me a few trips into work already. If they can fix the bugs, It'll get a five star from me..Version: 0
✓ DO NOT BUY - WASTE OF MONEYBought the full version of this app and man I wish I could get my money back. Getting it to "see" my computer was easy enough but that was the only thing that worked. Crashed every time I connected and attempted to manipulate windows on my desktop. Once it started crashing it started affecting other apps on my iPhone making them unstable and unresponsive. Reset phone and pitched Mocha VNC - thank God for delete! I have literally wasted money on many more expensive things in the past but these $6 would have been better spent on a pack of cigarettes and I quit smoking 5 years ago..Version: 0
✓ Win some, lose someIt's good to have cursor keys and the other modifier keys … and ever cmd-tab. How does the drag work? I can't get it to do anything! With the lite version, I could log on to a different account than is on the physical screen. This is really useful. This full version does not seem to allow this. The settings are the same, so I don't know what the difference is..Version: 3.1
✓ Good working app!This app does exactly what it says! I read the previous reviews, and followed some of the suggestions, and voilà! Took a few minutes to get everything installed and running - connection was made - runs a tad slow BUT I am using a 3G card for my home Internet. YES, it does show low memory and YES all you have to do is disable the notification and it all runs fine... I even run dual screens on my PC on it flows perfectly between the two displays. A little practice on using the mouse and you're up and running! I have suggested to all my friends!.Version: 0
✓ NO REFUNDSBuyer beware. You are not able to refund if the app does not work as expected. DO NOT buy if you are expecting to be able to connect to a FactoryTalk HMI..Version: 5.2
✓ Crash crash crash crash crashMocha lite worked for me. So I "upgraded" to this paid version for more features and it simply does not work at all. Well, it does connect to my Mac, then warns of low memory and won't draw the remote screen (draws about 2% of the screen then stops). Or it just crashes after trying to connect. Developer says reboot the iPhone to free up memory. How about write an app that works reliably within the memory constraints of the platform you are developing on? Even after rebooting iPhone, mocha vnc still crashes. 1 star and a big thumbs down. Do not buy until developer gets it right. I will change my review when this app is improved, if ever (it had been months)..Version: 0
✓ Give my money backLiked this app untill i downloaded a update and had to pay for it again, didnt even say just charges $6.49. Pretty ratchet if you dont ask. Get your hand out of my pocket.Version: 3.4
✓ Good but slowAll works good but unfortunately it is extremely slow to work with over 3G or Wi-Fi makes no difference. I have moved to TeamViewer which is fast to do tasks which is what I need.Version: 3.8
✓ Crash crash crash crash crashThis app is hopeless. It just crashes all the time. I hoped the recent update would fix it, but for me, connecting to my iMac running the latest osx software, I get a crash within a second of making the connection. Crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash crash. I want a refund..Version: 2.8
✓ Ne fonctionne pasNe fonctionne pas chez moi.Version: 0
✓ Mocha VNC for MacI bought this rather than use the lite version for its full keyboard functionality. Unfortunately it didn’t provide the ` key present on the UK Mac keyboard . The developer was very prompt in answering my queries but seemed to fail to understand what I wanted from the product. I can see it would be a good solution for some users but I ceased using it in favour of the Real VNC client..Version: 3.7
✓ Not very useful!I should have read more about this online before purchasing this app. It works fine in terms of connecting with my Mac. I've had no problems as far as this is concerned. However, it doesn't have any true functionality other than the fact that I can see my computer screen and access a couple of files, like text documents. If I needed to do that, I could e-mail my important docs to my iPhone. There is no sound, no ability to watch anything with video (The refresh rate on video is horrible). So, I am having a difficult time understanding why there is a need for this application. I should have experimented with the free version first, and like I said, checked online for reviews. I've never used VNC on any computer before, so, maybe this is the way it's supposed to work. Anyways, I seriously hope that the programmers are going to read this, because I am truly disappointed that I spent the money for this app. Updates? I certainly hope so..Version: 0
✓ CrapWasted time and money ! You don't get what you pay for . Extremly complicated , no support. This app doesn't rate a star at all. Never got it to work and it doesn't look like I ever will. Don't get caught in the same trap I did. Save your money for a better app. The good reviews must be written by the app makers themselves . Think twice before you swallow their propaganda. They just want you to push that buy button, "THAT'S IT". And there's no refund, or help! You're stuck with with a crappy app. You can't say that you wernt warned !.Version: 0
✓ AlrightAs far as touch screens are concerned, this app does a reasonable job emulating a desktop. Please add a right-click+drag function in the next version!.Version: 3.2
✓ Cannot connect to encrypted VNC severUnfortunately it cannot connect to an encrypted VNC sever. Free version RealVNC app works better than this..Version: 3.9
✓ Not loading correctlyOn wifi home net work with an N router, my screen only loads 10% ..... I love the concept but hate the fact it does not seen to work.Version: 0
✓ DisappointingControls are awckward to use. Works OK if all you need to do is click the screen but mouse gestures are difficult. Keyboard controls are also lacking: there is no Enter key on the keyboard with arrow keys making it impossible to navigate menus without exiting one keyboard and loading another every time you want to move or make a selection. The developer seems to be not interested in making simple improvements, so my advice is to look elsewhere or stick with the free version until the developer addresses these issues..Version: 0
✓ SlowI use two editors on windows, each have flashing carrot cursors. This VNC client can't keep up with the screen update, the result us that the cursor on screen disappears for seconds at a time, while remaining solid fir seconds at a time. The function keys are slow to react, with badly formed arrow key graphics. And yes, I have a fast network and server, another VNC client works fine..Version: 0
✓ Uglier and uglierWith every update this app just gets aesthetically worse and worse. It looks like a child designed it for Mother's Day. Couple that with the terrible interface and general unreliability and I would definitely recommend you consider another VNC. I only use this one because I foolishly paid for it..Version: 0
✓ Needs to support Magic KeyboardI have been using this VNC app since the iPad first came out. However it does not support the iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard. So I am looking for another VNC client to spend money on..Version: 5.2
✓ Mocha VNCI just bought Mocha VNC full version and in 5 first minutes i feel some mix of huge dissapointment and untrust to buy more software. Application restars every seconds. I could not accomplish even one session with no restarting my brand-new iphone. I demand from iTune store reimburse me in full amount i've paid for this software!.Version: 0
✓ Decent app, glaring bugsThis app needs to address the memory bugs and problems minimizing programs. These are huge glaring bugs that should have been immediately addressed. Gets the job done, but since I've upgraded to Windows 7 I've been eagerly anticipating an update..Version: 0
✓ It works, but......it's no longer beautiful thanks to the strange decision to overhaul the scrolling and zooming engine to make it -- worse. In the older versions you could scroll smoothly and "flick" across the desktop quickly. Not so with the new. Rotating the device resets your zoom-level, which is irritating, and the default zoom-level is not 1x1, but a zoomed-out overview. Zooming is clunky and frustrating. It used to be a really solid App. What happened?.Version: 0
✓ The app does not work on Mountain Lion !!!This App does not work if the Mac you are connecting to is running Mountain Lion OSX. Waste of money. !!!!.Version: 3.3
✓ Not anywhere as good as I expected! CRAP!Previously I have used the application touchpad pro where you can turn your iphone into a wireless touchpad and keyboard. This is crap. You cant do anything. You can't access the dock if it's hidden You can't access the dashboard using the mouse It doesn't even have an ALT Key! Basically you can only view the area on the screen and click. You can't physically move the mouse without the left mouse button being clicked. From this you can't use menu items from the tool bars or anything. Do not spend money on this!!.Version: 0
✓ Has almost no support for macI bought this app because I wanted the right click function and I assumed that it would have all the keyboard short cuts (command key etc) that the free verion has; but it doesn't! If your planning to use this with a mac don't buy it, keep the free one..Version: 0
✓ Still unstable. Very slow, needs Wi-Fi to useThe potential of this application is amazing. Unfortunately, what's been provided comes short of the potential I mention. To the developers: If the program is simply taking screen-shots of my desktop at home, why not find a way to make the screenshot file sizes SMALLER so it doesn't take one to two minutes (literally) to see the changes? Crashes here and there, particularly with the more complicated tasks. Everything functions as advertised here, which is great and all, but what they didn't mention was that actually using the program takes an eternity. Until they update this little-app-that-could to make using the software ACTUALLY usable, I highly recommend not buying it. Hey MOCHASOFT, WHAT GOOD IS A REMOTE DESKTOP IF IT RUNS AS SLOW AS YOURS DOES?.Version: 0
✓ Works as advertised, but often inadequateThe lack of modifier key support (ctrl, alt, command/win) and right-click aren't surprises (it's mentioned in the description last I checked), but it's still a serious shortcoming. I understand the idea of having a premium version with extra features (which I just bought), but personally I think the ones listed above should be considered requirements, even in the free version. Still, most people will be satisfied with this for most circumstances..Version: 0
✓ Terrible interface, and now unresponsive as wellThis used to be a fast VNC program, if saddled with an ugly, non-standard and unintuitive interface. With the latest updates it's now a slow, jerky VNC program with an ugly, non-standard and unintuitive interface. The biggest problem is it's now extremely unresponsive. It seems to take a half second to decide if you're tapping, panning, or pinching, and as a result every time you interact with the program there is a disconcerting half second delay. This is especially annoying in an interactive program like this, as that means the screen doesn't pan as far as you expect (if missed the first chunk of your finger movement) or it doesn't zoom as far as expected (again, it misses the first half second of the pinch). Everything is leagues more difficult. And that leaves aside the ugly, non-standard, unintuitive interface. I can't stress that enough - especially as the developer has shown no interest in user feedback, and has shown no interest in fixing the rampant UI issues in this program. I bought this a long time ago, but with this update, I bought a competing product that cost more money. It may not be perfect either, but at least it's usable. iPhone 3GS, iOS 4.0.1, and no, it's not jailbroken or running any other apps in the background. About as stock as one gets..Version: 0
✓ Doesn't work as advertisedAfter trying the lite version without any luck I tried the full version. I was excited when I connected but soon realized that was all I could do! The mouse doesn't work properly and the app does not support multiple monitors. Even though it's only $5—I still feel I was mislead. Hopefully Mocha fixes this product with a free update..Version: 0
✓ Big flaws with very little dev supportI used to have the lite version and while it worked, it had issues with crashing and various other issues and no updates to ever fix it. After a while I dished out for the full version thinking since it's paid for this version might be more polished and fewer issues. Man was I wrong. In the year or so Ive had it there have been maybe 2 updates both still with make issues. Memory issues, crashing, etc. The lack f interest of developer can be seen simply by looking at the program logo once it starts. It's skewed off centre and generally messed up. I would hope dev would start paying some attention to this progra one 1-2 proper updates can fiz everything unfortunately don't know if it's going to happen..Version: 0
✓ Reliable!This VNC client is one of the most reliable client I have ever used. It always work with mac OSX screen sharing. The only change I would like for this client app is that I wish there was a way to zoom out and see the entire image of the server screen without keeping both fingers on the screen to zoom out pinch. I also wish the streaming of video would be a little smoother if bandwidth is low. Other than that, this is a great app. Please update for retina display to show entire server screen in the ipad display.Version: 3.1
✓ Not so goodNot worth the money.Version: 0
✓ Works, but barelyIf you absolutely need to access a computer or server from your iPhone, this us the best way to go, but only after first exhausting your Apple Remote Desktop and VNC from an actual computer options. Many of the problems with this app is that it must make too many compromises because of the limited input from the phone but they don't utilize two finger drag or other touch features utilized well in other apps. Overall, I'm disappointed in this purchase..Version: 0
✓ Not very good for a mac with an ipodThis program works but it keeps crashing on me because of the memory limitations of the ipod touch. so it is not useful. i suppose you might be able to change your screen resolution on your host and get it to work. don't try to do it after login though because the app will crash before you can. I wanted to use my ipod as a sophisticated remote with some video presentations. aint gonna happen with mocha. the programmers need to develop a work around for large screen size memory limitations. perhaps they should employ a clipping algorithm? i don't know if the more expensive competitors use one so i can't recommend anything. part of the prob is that macs require 32 bit resolution. i am sure that for windows users this program is more workable because they can degrade their resolution. we need more memory in our ipods. wait before you buy this. i am sad :(.Version: 0
✓ Decent when it worksIt works well when it doesn't crash. It may have to do with the PC screen resolution being 1920x1200. Usually resetting the iPhone will correct the problem..Version: 0
✓ Cannot connectI am having problems connecting. I got my ip address but still not working. Do I need to install anything on my laptop? Were can I find my server port and password from?.Version: 0
✓ Was great, now only good.Updated my phone to 2.2.1 and updated mocha vnc accordingly and now it does not respond to the "finger flick" acceleration when moving the screen while connected. Tech support said this is intentional cause by some screen handling issues that caused crashes. I've moved back to the previous version 1.1 and works fine again. (I did that by not syncing the iPhone after i purchased it. I just deleted the 2.0 version from the iPhone and resynced to iTunes and it uploaded the previous version.) 5 stars to the 1.1 version. Only 3 for the 2.0 version..Version: 0
✓ Works but has big flawsI got the app and software set up without issue, however when I'm connected the display on my iPhone doesn't update unless I use the refresh button in the menu, which makes accomplishing anything unbearably slow and tedious.Version: 0
✓ Good but one problemThis app is easy to use and has all the features I want, except for the delete key which is need to open up taskmanager (ctrl+alt+delete) if you added this I would give full stars..Version: 0
✓ Useful but hard to useThis application definitely accomplishes what it sets out to do. It gives you complete control over a remote Mac using the VNC protocol. My main complaint is that the controls are not at all intuitive. It would have been much better had the developer used the conventional Mac gestures, i.e. those you would use on a Track Pad, to move the cursor around, drag, drop, double click, etc. One reason that they might have chosen otherwise is that you also need a separate way to pan and zoom the screen. So rather than moving the mouse, swiping the screen scrolls the screen up and down. Fine, this could have been accomplished by providing a "function" button. As it is, you can't really move the cursor smoothly from one place to another. Instead you just tap in different areas to reposition it. This creates problems because you end up activating things that you didn't mean to activate, etc. Maybe this was easier to program or requires less network bandwidth, but it is very awkward..Version: 2.8
✓ Fix It PleaseI love this app and it worked very well until recently. Please fix the 50 pixel problem on Mac OS X..Version: 0
✓ Glad to see full release, but...I'm sure you're working hard on the paid release, and it's appreciated for a very nice app, overall. I gave 4 stars for the Lite version, but in all honesty, I have to drop a star due to some issues: Several crashes on start, lost edited connections. "option" is missing, in "Mac OS-X" mode, "extra" function keyboard nice, but there's no "winkey" in MacOS-X. Otherwise, it's a great app, and is a great implementation of VNC for the iPhone. Keep up the good work - I'm looking forward to the update which, hopefully, will address these issues..Version: 0
✓ Good but......I can't hide the keyboard and make the blue icons come up. Help! ( I tried shaking).Version: 0
✓ Not overly responsive companyI have a simple issue with this app... Let me connect without entering a password. My server asks for a password after the VNC session is established. I emailed them about allowing that and they basically told me that I don't know what I'm talking about and it's a major security problem and it's not going to happen. Last time I checked, my security was my problem, not theirs! Password-less connections are something every other VNC client can do. Fix it!.Version: 0
✓ Good but not greatA very complicated task was taken on by the developers. Good choices in trade offs on the mouse and navigating larger resolutions on the small screen of the ipod touch. I would like to see the edges more restrained; you can have a good bit of grey wasted space as your scrolling around. Would be best if it stopped at the edge of the visible screen. Not as fast as I thought it was going to be by what others have said. Even over my G-wireless to a 100M connected PC there was about the same lag as is experienced when using it over a 512kbps DSL connection. I probably can switch to 8-bit color and get it a bit smoother but it works well enough for simple tasks. Just don't expect a perfect experience. Its not even in the same realm of speed as far as a full-PC to PC vs this..Version: 0
✓ Awfull?I downloaded this, set it up CORRECTLY and..... "could not find server 168.****** port 5900. Dont get me wrong, i know a hell of a lot about computers and this doesnt work. So i got Jaadu VNC for the large sum of £15, set it up the EXACT same way as i did with mocha vnc, and guesa what? Jaadu worked :) my advise = buy jaadu vnc even tho its quite pricey..Version: 0
✓ Good but not that goodI got the lite version which was awesome then updated it which removed some functionality -which is fair enough because it was so good you didn't need to buy the full version. But it also lost its smoothness so I thought I'd pay for the full version in order to get the smooth scrolling back. The full version it seems adds more buttons and therefore functionality but it's still just as clunky and not smooth like the lite version which makes it an ugly experience. I gave up and shelled out for Jaadu VNC which I know is expensive but is worth every penny. A beautiful interface with all functions and something that Mocha doesn't have at all - a real cursor to move around. Buy Jaadu and don't look back!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent. Works as advertised.Been using this app for a few days. Have had no problems. The lower colour setting is better if your on 3G. It's very responsive and the added function key keyboard and right mouse button are great. 5 star app..Version: 0
✓ OK display, ridiculous mouse supportMochaVNC uses an offset between where your finger touchs the iPhone screen to move the mouse around and where the cursor pointer is on the remote screen. This is logical since your finger would cover the mouse cursor otherwise. As you'd expect tapping once is a click; twice is a double-click. Sadly, however, when you take your finger away from the iPhone screen to iniate a click or double-click, the mouse cursor jumps back to where your finger actually is on the iPhone (about 80 pixels below where the remotes mouse cursor used to be and sends the click to the host well below your target. So, basically, it's next to impossible to click on a dialog button or the maximize, minimize or close button on a window. Mochasoft's support site doesn't address this at all. Bottom line: if all you need to do is look at a remote display, this app will do the job; if you want to interact with the host, you'd be better off hooking up two tin cans and a tight string. Save your money..Version: 0
✓ Slow on iPad 2I have no idea why it's so slow on my iPad 2. Iteleport works great vs this. Also, I don't like the setup for the external keys such as the F functions and ctrl alt, etc. Works better on my iPhone 3GS..Version: 2.9
✓ SadWish I could get this to work since all I needed was something to connect to real vnc..Version: 0
✓ Doesnt seem to work fullyApp connects OK, and I can see my computer screen on the iPhone. However, I am having problems with the refresh; when I change from one window to another, VNC starts to refresh the iPHone screen but seems to get stuck at some point. If I try and do a manual refresh, the iPhone screen just goes white. The mouse pointer remains, and I can move it around the PC using the iPhone, but the iPHone will not display what is being shown on the PC. Any help appreciated!.Version: 0
