Mocha VNC Lite for Positive User Reviews
✓ Dosen't connectI hate it.Version: 0
✓ How to access via 3GIt works, and without too much hassle which is nice. It's a bit delayed which is probably to be expected and the lite version has little mouse support but you can still do most things, except copy and paste and right clicking. How to access via 3G when away from the wifi: Change your router settings to port forward to your pc; give it your pc ip address, and set start port as 5800 and end as 5900. Then on the VNC settings on your phone give it the ip address of your router..Version: 0
✓ WOWOWOWOWOW :)Ummm what can I say... SOOOOO impressed with free application can not wait to buy version (hopefully modestly priced, PUH-LEASE Mocha) I can just imagine that time that I am traveling and forgot to save a file to idisk and want to show someone an image from my desktop or forgot to upload those pesky notes for my next meeting.... 2 quips... it was a little slow for me and I couldn't use scroll bar for lists :( I am not an uber tech that can understand what sort of time I can expect it to take for my phone and mac to have their little convo and make it so that a change takes place but i saw an instant change on my mac and my phone took quite a while to reflect the change even over wifi connection....and I couldn't use the scroll bar to scroll down my applications list on my desktop, nor could i access my toolbar.... but holy cow how useful..... TYTYTY from the girl that always seemed to forget her homework on the dining room table.... Can't wait to see the new version and mocha tech rep please contact me so I can learn more about your amazing product :).Version: 0
✓ Phone based remote access appThis app is quick to connect, easy to set up connections with and importantly for me, the only one I've found currently that allows you to tap directly to click instead of having to guide a cursor around and tap somewhere on the screen to click on an item where the pointer is. When it went to a 2 minute time out it was almost unusable for all but a quick check on a running system but now it has a 5 minute time out, which is an improvement as although the original wasn't time restricted, it wasn't fully functional either. The free version is fully functional but if you need more than 5 minutes then the paid version removes this restriction. In summary, this is a great way to try out the app before paying for the unrestricted version..Version: 4.6
✓ AwesomeWorks really well! A bit lagged but I guess there's nothing that can be done about that other than to get a better router. This is definitely worth having... I'm tempted to buy the full version, for scrolling and right click mainly. Cuby.Version: 0
✓ SuperbA brilliantly useful piece of software and available for free too. Note I had trouble using realvnc but tried tightvnc and it worked first time, no issues..Version: 0
✓ Very cheap move by developerRidiculous. This app was good for a while, and then (just as all the other reviews are stating) they stripped it of most of the features (like the Command key, the ability to change mouse/scrolling modes, etc). Very very poor and lousy move on the developer's part. They've just lost a potential customer, as I was considering purchasing the full version of this app to show my support. Somebody who uses shady tactics like this to make a quick buck on the App Store will NOT EVER get my buck. Sorry..Version: 0
✓ ©™Gangsta™.Version: 0
✓ Great ApplicationI find it hillarious how most of you are complaining about Bait and Switch. Especially since you havent paid for ANYTHING! A free app should always have its limitations unless its open source and its only fair to the developer to pay for something they spent time and money on. The developer appears to simply be making a change to the product so it can be sold in a way that it was originally intended. I never had the previous version of the software installed as I just got my iPhone, but I really like the free version and plan on paying for the full version to get the full functionaility. Right after install, it worked amazingly well with an existing UltraVNC install I had on WinXP. I was shocked as to how well it worked over wifi, and its not too bad over 3G. Only complaint is that it does warn me of Low memory, but I can still work around that. Great Job MochaSoft, and I would ignore these complaints as well. You will never make everyone happy, but you have made my day. :) Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Wow.I've just used this app to run Citrix on my home Mac to get into my full Windows work systems from my iPad. For free. Takes two minutes to set up. The interface is a little rough around the edges and there is no British keyboard (yet) but for the price this has to get five stars..Version: 0
✓ Original, one of a kind, easy to use, and AWESOMEAs of now, there are so many "revalutionary remote apps." ALL of them have a problem, except this app. They are all either only compatible with a PC, take a heck of a long time to set up, or just DON'T WORK. This app is compatible with not only leopard, but tiger, Vista, XP, and other windows systems. Not only that, but the other apps mostly don't even display a screen. They just control the computer! Finally, this app's lite version is not as efficient as the full, but still does the job in a way that rivals other paid apps! Excellent work!!!.Version: 0
✓ Fast and simpleIt works. it's fast. i use it now and then. useful for simple tasks, but without the full functionality wouldn't wanna use it a lot ;p.Version: 2.8
✓ It works just fine for meOperating an Astronomical observatory over ethernet. I have my iPod Touch connected via WiFi to my iMac in the house and it connects just fine to my Windows 2000 PC in the observatory to control my telescope, cameras and focusers. I have no problems opening and closing programs, opening files, modifying text in my script files etc. I can't wait to get an iPad so I can get a bigger screen. (version 2.5).Version: 0
✓ Here is how toDownload app from ur iPhone or apple store. Download vnc on ur computer. After install there will be an option to create a password n another one to add ur iphone's IP or any other IP otherwise choose the other option so u can have access from any computer. After u do that make sure u know the password, ur computer IP and the port number (Which should be 5900 or something like that) and check if a new icon was created next to the clock (windows) go to ur app on ur iPhone and type all the information. Press connect n that's it. It worked for me on my first try. :).Version: 0
✓ Good enough!Install free dyn dns on ur server so u won't worry about remembering ur ip. Have fun..Version: 0
✓ Great!Thanks for the update! its much better to configure now! if anyones having troubles getting this to work, download uvnc and simply make sure the password on the iPhone is set exactly to the password on uvnc. i had so many troubles with other pc software!!.Version: 2.8
✓ Mocha VNCI downloaded this APP last night based in an article on safari, if you follow the steps it is really easy. However I haven't been able to access my computer off my property yet? Any help?.Version: 3.3
✓ Can't Go Wrong For The $$$Using it for connecting to WINXP boxes using UltraVNC it has been flawless for me on all 5 of my machines. Works on a LAN and also accross the internet into my boxes. The light version looks fine if you simply want to view what's happening on your computer or do some basic admin work but you will need the full version if you need to move the mouse around..Version: 0
✓ BrilliantThis is great works fine, as long as you configure your computer properly and the app it always works on both my Mac and my ubuntu machine, it's free too,! I think the people on here who say it don't work are just stupid and have no idea how to set this up. I would suggest you at least get your facts straight first because this is a good app. I hope people deciding to use this won't take those other silly techniphobic reviews! It's clear to me those people who open their mouths before actually looking to see if they got the settings correct first. Before you ask or assume I am not the developer, but I am a computer consultant and I use this everyday, at home and at work, and for nothing I hardly think this app is a "waste of space". Get your facts right first!! Well done developer! Top class!.Version: 0
✓ Works greatUsing with ultra vnc and connects easily and quickly, all you have to do is enter the local ip address. Using it with an I pad and pc....works great..Version: 3.1
✓ Latest update is greatScreen polling is much faster and more responsive in this september 2012 update, even on a 1080p screen. was my only issue in previous versions. If anyone cannot connect to a windows vnc server (I use ultravnc for the server) check your host encryption settings, I had to turn it onto optional from memory..Version: 3.2
✓ What do u have to downloadDo u have to download something onto the computer and what if u can plz help. Plz plz plz help me..Version: 0
✓ Give me a breakI use VNC lite and I love it. It does exactly what I want it to do, I log onto Macs & PC's and it works the way it should. In fact, I like the older version better than the new version, I liked the ability to turn off the mouse so that I could look at my son's computer without him knowing I was "looking over his shoulder." The new version makes that more difficult, but I just downloaded it yesterday, and I'm still working on it. I'm going to go ahead and buy the full version, even though the lite does what I need, I feel I should pay for something that I find so useful..Version: 0
✓ How do u find the ip on windows xpPlz some1 help.Version: 0
✓ Niice!It took some free time i had to set it up but it was worth it, my windows firewall was blocking it , you see when the firewall meets a virus it lets it in but when your trying to use somethimg usefull it blocks it but hey its a great app for free.Version: 0
✓ Great appAll I needed really even d free version is just all u need for remote connection.Version: 0
✓ Worth the download!!Really cool idea. Works well..Version: 0
✓ VNCI love it!! Free and it works great!! Just download VNC for your PC or Mac (free) input port number and IP address and your set!!.Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI use this app for connecting to my server at work that runs the factory on the farm. It works really well. Thanks guys! Good vnc app and its free! Can't complain..Version: 0
✓ SuperbThis is a highly usable VNC client considering it has to differentiate between the user's intention to move around within the remote desktop or move the actual desktop around on the small screen. It's fast too - on a LAN the desktop is rendered high quality for both Mac and Windows VNC servers. The GUI could do with a little spit and polish - the floating buttons are a bit ugly and it's possible to go a little too far off the edge of the remote desktop, showing a bland grey background behind, but on balance these are minor considerations..Version: 0
✓ A Most Excellent AppWorked first time for me and the best VNC client on a small form factor. Ran this against my MacBook without any problems, even got it through the screen saver. Try peeling through Time Machine with it... It may lag a bit but the fact thst it keeps up is pretty amazing. OK so there are a few bugs in the config editor but come on, this is release 1 and they made it available for free. Thank folks..Version: 0
✓ Almost, but not quite thereFour stars for being the first working VNC client (the only thing I really need on my iPhone that it doesn't come with out of the box), and being free no less, but currently it cannot access the right hand end of a 1920x1200 display (limited to 1680x1200 because of Apple UI scrolling widget limits supposedly), and no multi-monitor support. It really must support at least a full 1920x1200 desktop, even if they have to abandon the sexy scrolling screen. I'd be happy to have a mode that required scrolling in steps or something if it would let me access my whole screen..Version: 0
✓ GreatGreat app can't believe it's free.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic app works greatI have a Mac Mini that is headless that I use for a music server. The Remote app is okay but has limits. I already had VNC set up so I could access though my computer. I looked for the iPad remote version but it was the same as the one for the iPhone. Then I found this. I think most of the negative reviews are from people that don't fully understand how to set up VNC on their system or those that access across subnets or the internet which can be problematic for users that don't have experience with that aspect, I can't speak to those users, but if you use this on a local network and have VNC working on a computer this will set up in less than a minute, it is flawless. This is the best app I have downloaded yet. As stated above, it took me less than a minute to get this to work on my system. I entered the IP address and password and it was up and running. There are also added benefits, if I want to see flash, I can VNC to the mini and enter the address and view over this. I really can't figure out why this would have any negative reviews. Now I have full access to itunes and everything else on my headless mini from my iPad. What a great app. Edit to add, I am going to buy the full version but for free this is the best deal going..Version: 0
✓ Very Cool!As an I.T Geek I found this to be a helpful app. I look after 20 computers and a few servers... Now I can remote in at any time..Version: 0
✓ Great on iPad if you turn off the low memory warningsI read the other iPad reviews that complain about the memory problem and I had it too. I turned off the memory warnings and the performance is great. They take nice advantage of the iPad screen real estate. Also tried it on my iPhone 3G and had no memory issues. I highly recommend this app. Am purchasing the paid app. Fix the memory error issue and will give this 5 stars. For those of you with iPads not surer how to turn off the memory error messages, go into the connection settings for your connection and look for the option to turn off warnings for low memory..Version: 0
✓ Excellent appYeah it crashes a bit, but it's free. Very handy app to have, paid version is even better. More features, faster and seems way more stable. Also the price is not bad either..Version: 0
✓ Fixed!The time limit was raised to 5 minutes. Thank you! Honestly this is the most useful app that I have. I manage my Plex server and run ThinVNC on it. This app works perfectly. The controls and mouse clicks work well and I've been very happy with it. On average it takes about 5-10 seconds to connect and then I'm off doing whatever I need to do. I can right-click on taskbar icons and everything. I'd buy the full version if it was just a little bit cheaper..Version: 4.6
✓ The best on the AppStore.I have tested many VNC apps from the AppStore but most of them either needed dedicated software to be running on you computer all the time or were clumsy and unreliable. After spending days trying various apps I settled with MochaVNC. Fast to setup and very reliable. Would recommend to everyone..Version: 3.3
✓ The definitive app for road warriors and system adminsThis is the app that will finally let many people leave their laptops at home. While the iPhone's small screen is not the best for getting a lot of work done, the ability to access every file and every application on your home or work computer is amazingly convenient. Wheter you need a file, to look up info in a database or spreadsheet, or generate a report you can now access it all from your iPhone. I have been using VNC for years to administer systems for clients ad it often saves me hours of driving to make a simple change, but it still required bringing a laptop along and having high speed access for it. This app seems very responsive and it is easy to scroll and zoom. It would probably be sluggish on edge because VNC clients are receiving the entire screen image from your computer but on wifi it works great and I will soon test it on 3G. One word of advice: set it up before you leave to make sure all your settings work correctly. There are good instructions on the developer's website..Version: 0
✓ Cant beat thisI work in IT and this app works very well as others have said you need to download real VNC and set it up as a server and my advice is if you have domestic broadband you probably wont have a static IP address so use dyndns service that takes all the hard work out of it, net search these items and how to set up on your router and then u can access your PC anywhere! Brilliant.Version: 0
✓ Works for me!Does the trick for me, Ican remote into my Ubuntu box and do small reasonable task over my local network. No complaints..Version: 0
✓ Hope support lower colorHope it support lower resolution such as 256 or 16,bw color,well be good for slow connection like weak wifi or GPRS , 3g network,faster reacting speed,full color,overall this cool.Version: 0
✓ Just The JobI have a PowerMac running Leopard as a server in my home. Sometimes it's a pain to have to get a laptop out to do quick tasks on the server (it has no monitor on it). So this is a great app for logging on, viewing the screen and making a few changes!.Version: 3.7
✓ I personally don't see anything wrong..I don't no what ur all complaining about I mean this is free. And a great practical joke. With this app you can controll your computer. If u are at a friends house and have to show him/her something you can simply get on this app. YOU NEEd WiFi!! This app is really hard to set up!! Not the iPod part but the computer part. You have to download vnc on ur computer and that isn't easy. I can see how it can get aggrivating if someone is on the computer also controlling it but that's the joke. The no right Click and click and drag feature is a letdown. Now u have to buy it ! Sooooo. Yes this app is 5 stares but the setup is 2 stars. ;(..Version: 0
✓ Great app, good businessI've been using this app since the App Store debuted. This is the app that completely "changed everything" for me, in terms of what a phone/iPod could REALLY be. I've been using the Lite version for months, with the forgotten guilt of not paying MochaSoft for their work. Personally, I applaud them for removing some of the functionality of the Lite version. It finally gave me a good reason to reimburse this developer for their hard work and hours of productivity I have already gained from this app. Thank you for keeping my karma in line..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic Application!!!Works very well with no crashes or setup issues. TightVNC works well with it. One issue that everyone using a dual monitor setup should be aware of is that the resolution used by the monitors is too big for viewer. In the TightVNC software change the settings to display the primary monitor only. Very nice application! Should be on everyones iPhone and iPod Touch....Version: 0
✓ Great app!This application owns! Very easy to use. If you're new to VNC and need to setup a VNC server on your computer first, try UltraVNC, TightVNC or RealVNC..Version: 0
✓ Wow!Who could have imagined iPhone apps this powerful would appear so soon..Version: 0
✓ Touch screen macOSI have three Mac Pros in a studio. Almost everyday I need to be in another part of the studio but still need to have Finder access to my host and slave Macs. I use Mocha VNC 4.4 as a part of my daily workflow. I wish Apple included Remote Desktop into iOS, but we have Mocha VNC thankfully. With the 12.9” iPad Pro and its large real estate I can freely move around and comfortably continue to work. I’m giving version 4.4 5-stars. I’m not sure their reasoning for providing a free lite version then suddenly giving it a 2 minute time period within a decimal upgrade, especially when many people have app upgrade on automatic. Luckily I don’t. I’m glad I read the description for 4.5 first. I feel that was a little sneaky. Perhaps so many people were happy enough with the Lite version they weren’t paying for the full version. Still, it could have been handled a little better. That being said, it’s only $5.99. And for an app that it a part of my daily workflow, I obviously have no problem paying. I like the features the full version adds, (mouse support- hopefully local, a Bluetooth mouse connected to my iPad Pro and fully controlling macOS just as if I was in front of Mac - I need to read the description further), Mouse Easy, and encrypted sign on. Question: Does Mocha VNC support Mission Control via function keys, the default F3 key (hasn’t worked for me), , macros or mouse gestures? I hope so. That’s something I need. I have two monitors connected to my host Mac Pro, and each monitor has at least four desktops via Mission Control, plus I use Screen Sharing in a full screen desktop to access my Mac slaves. It would be nice if a simple swipe gesture would allow me to easily move between desktops spaces. Regardless, my reason for writing a review is to say that I much fancy this solution which keeps macOS touch-screen free, than Windows 10. IMO, touchscreens are only ergonomically feasible if they can lay flat on a surface. Plus it enhances the Apple eco-system which I fully use and embrace, (AirPlay, iCloud and AirDrop). Anything Mocha VNC can add to improve functionality with these workflows would be very helpful. Thanks to the developer for making a VNC app that doesn’t require me to create an account, or sign up for a service like many of the other developers do. I will never support those apps where possible. Please keep Mocha VNC account-based free, and support Mission Control and the Apple eco-system (of you already don’t). I will be purchasing more MochaSoft apps..Version: 4.6
✓ Better than real vncI paid $14 for real vnc which is rubbish. This is free and does everything I need. Excellent product.Version: 2.9
✓ EssentialCan't believe no one has written a review yet (so far as I can tell anyway). This app is brilliant, I use it practically every day. It serves a practical use such as when you need to access a computer but you're not in the same room (such as when one is in a meeting). However, it also serves an awesome feature for the user at home - for example, I'm in my bedroom and I want to control my Mac. This app makes that possible like magic. It's easy to use, smooth, intuitive. Great stuff :).Version: 3.9
✓ Lion compatible!Works connecting to Lion while other apps are still broken because of the changed login system..Version: 3.1
✓ Great performanceGood little product, no issues at all.Version: 0
✓ Works wellI'm just trialling this to see if I want to buy the paid version vs the other possibilities available. So far it works very well. The only thing I don't like is the splash screen. I would prefer to go directly to the "connections" screen. Anyone opening it is going to go there anyway and the extra unneccesary step is irritating particularly if you're exiting and entering the app a lot. I would prefer to open to the main connection screen and at the top have the "edit" and "menu" button. Right now, you open at the splash screen and either choose "menu" or "connect" to go to the connection screen. Once on the connection screen you get a "back" or "menu" button. it might seem a minor point, but it isn't when the splash screen is just there for no good reason and you have to go through it every time you want to connect. Four stars from me. Will be five if the irritating screen goes away. ;) Thank you for making this available to trial..Version: 0
✓ Go buy it!This app has saved me a couple of long car journeys. It does exactly what it claims to do. If you know about VNC and use it on a desktop/laptop then get this app - if you don't yet know about the wonders of VNC then google it now. Thanks for a VERY useful piece of software..Version: 0
✓ BrilliantBy far my favourite app. Will purchase full version when possible..Version: 0
✓ Most used AppI love this App! I work from home. This App let's me check my laptop inbox from anywhere. Even from the couch while watching football!.Version: 0
✓ WorksWorks well for basic functionality.Version: 2.9
✓ GreatA very handy app with a great amount of features considering its free!.Version: 0
✓ 5 stars, perfectThis app does everything I need it to do, it is fantastic..Version: 3.1
✓ Exceptional AppThis really is a cracking app, worked great first time using an old G5 Server on my home network. The slight display lag is to be expected, but even so, it is remarkably easy to use - and I can't complain about the price! This just gives me another reason not to get out of bed!.Version: 0
✓ Doesn't do everything, but does enough for freeThis app lets me see the desktop of my windows box. I don’t use it a whole lot, but often enough that I want to keep it where I can get to it easily. I mainly use it when I’ve forgotten to start my Shelfserver, or for remote-controlling a movie playing through my computer when I’m across the room on the sofa. There is also a paid version of this app for $5.99, but I’ve never seen the point to upgrading when the Lite version does all I need. The one problem with it is that it needs a lot of memory to run, and will often complain that you need to reboot your device to get more memory if you have low memory when you run it—which is to say, almost any time you run it at all. (Of course, you don’t actually need to reboot to free up memory—just use the iPhone app MemoryInfo.).Version: 0
✓ No pc supportThis app works with Mac but not with pc when in the photos of the app it says it does.Version: 3.1
✓ Works great and without hassleThis program does exactly what it promises without any hassle or complications. I followed the directions on the developer's home page and was connected to my computer within 3 minutes via Wi-fi. It works exactly as you might expect letting you open/view/delete files etc. (depending on your computer settings) just as if you were sitting in front of your computer. Screen refresh was amazingly fast and I was very pleased to see how smoothly the zooming/panning was implemented. Best of all, it's free. Based on the other reviews it seems that if you want to connect to a windows machine you might need the paid version to gain access to the "del" key, but for connecting to mac via Apple Remote Desktop, this is not needed. Even if you had to pay for it it'd be a great deal, but for free? It's amazing!.Version: 0
✓ UnbelievableBlown away by this- an incredible effort on the part of the developers. There's also not much essential functionality from the paid version missing from this lite version. Shame some people are giving it one-star reviews simply because they are not technically savvy enough.Version: 0
✓ Works like a charmI can remotely control my PC to manage video streaming to my ps3 while I'm sitting in front of my tv. I also use it to remotely control my laptop when it is plugged onto my tv for viewing vids or pics..Version: 0
✓ Incredible App... Almost.Having GoToMyPC on an iPod Touch FOR FREE... Now that's just awesome. The app does everything it says it does. It was a bit difficult to set up, but when I saw it working, I was blown away. It does have a few problems, though. The screen refresh rate is VERY slow, so bye bye flash games on iPod. (Of course, I didnt expect that to be great.) Also, I don't think right clicking should be a paid feature. Finally, I wish there was a way to click and drag. I know that could be confused with scrolling, but I think there could be a switch between scrolling and dragging..Version: 0
✓ FantasticThis is the greatest app I have downloaded yet! Works perfect.Version: 0
✓ Simple & EffectiveSet this up and connected to both my iMac and Windows laptop across Wifi in a matter of minutes. Really easy to use. I have had no issues with speed and it does exactly what I need it for. Fantastic app and it's free! I imagine that it will be even more useful when the ipad version comes out as you will have a bigger screen to use..Version: 0
✓ Yay!Just what I needed, no need to spend the $7.something dollars on this one. Does everything well. One downside would be the reaction time is about 1-3 seconds behind, which is still understandable considering your using a Wi-Fi connection..Version: 0
✓ Great lite version, just migrated to paid version.This Is a great app for remotely controlling any of your PC's or Mac at home or work. I have been using it to connect my iPad to my Mac Pro and Macbook when located in my office, and I can't be bothered to move from the sofa. The iPad's large screen makes viewing and navigating around my dual VDU systems a breeze. I have just upgraded to the paid version, as I needed to be able to right-click the mouse and do some mouse pointer dragging. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and I am definitely a very happy customer. I have previously used other VNC and remote desktop tools, but this is all I need. Highly recommended, and the paid version just adds more features. It doesn't get much better than this, and my iPad is much more productive because of this App..Version: 0
✓ Nice, simple and works well.Nice, simple and works well. Easy to setup and get going. Would be nice if it allowed tunneling the connection via ssh but you can't really expect that from the lite version. Right click in lite version would be convenient too. The people complaining that this is hard to setup are wrong. This is client software and works easily. They are complaining about the server software configuration which is independant of this piece of software and thus not relevent in the comments here..Version: 0
✓ Quick and lite! It's 1.2mb of slick vnc action.As I said in the title. I used this on my original iPhone 2g, although this app does make full use of my retina display on my new iPad as well. The app loads really quick and is lite on resources. So you can leave it open without slowing the pad down. It just works, of course you'll have to install a vnc server on your source PC first..Version: 3.9
✓ A Must HaveI use the lite version and it works great. Just the other day I had to call the office and get someone to email a file while I was in the field. First thing I did when I got back to the office is set up dydns, screen sharing and set up VNC lite. Now if I need to access files on my office system I use VNC (or ftp). As of this writing, and posted on their web site, there is a problem with version 2.2 and Snow Leopard displaying only about 10px at the top of the screen -- so 2.3 is being reviewed by Apple. 2.2 still works fine with earlier version of OS/X. Make sure though you understand router and OS/X security (especially firewall and access privs) before setting up VNC, FTP or anything else or you will risk leaving a big security hole in your system!.Version: 0
✓ I'll give it five for a free appI got the free version just to try it out. It took me only minutes to set up connections with both my (Ubuntu) desktop and laptop. Couldn't be simpler; entered the IP addresses and the passwords, hit Connect, and I was all set. Over wifi, I can use my 1280x800 laptop with 32-bit colour, but the desktop has dual displays and the resolution is high, so it runs the phone low on memory after a short time. The desktop is quite useable at 8-bit, though, if not precisely pretty, and that's no fault of the app itself. I'm taking it out for a test-run outside my home network, but I've already set up port-forwarding on the router, so I don't anticipate any problems; it'll just be slower than wifi. I'm giving it five stars because it works well and has all the functionality I really need, for free. That said, I'll buy the full version. Not because I really need the extra features, but because the price is very reasonable and I want to support the developers..Version: 0
✓ The new version is worse than the oldI used to love this app. It was probably my favorite app for the iPod Touch. But after I updated to the newest version of the app, a feature has actually been taken off. It wasn't replaced with another, just taken off. The thing that was taken off was a button on the bottom right (in the pictures, you can probably see a button missing in the bottom right). The button let you click and drag, not just click. It turned on dragging or turned it off, so that when in "click mode" when you drag it will move your perspective of the screen (what part you are looking at). Now it is stuck in "click mode". Don't get me wrong, I still love this app (I'm giving it 4 stars not 5), but not as much. Why would someone take off a feature?.Version: 0
✓ AmazingNot sure why this program only gets a 3 star rating.. anyway this took me about 10 minutes to set up, including on my PC which is impressive for a start... The bit that really impressed me is that I can now control my PC from ANYWHERE that has a WIFI or EDGE (3g if you are posh)... which I imagine is most places. The thought of playing with my PC from WORK scares me. Yet I will do it all the time!... I look foward to using this application!!!.Version: 0
✓ Works good.It is easy to set up and is quick. I have no problem paying a developer for a good product that they spent time on. I am trying to decide between mocha and jaadu. Price differecne doesn't matter. I just want the better product. I wish jaadu had a trial/lite version like this to compare. Just because of that I'll probably just get the full version of mocha. Also for the person who said it only works on your local network... you can easily fix that. Just log into your router and enable port forwarding and have it forward to your local ip..Version: 0
✓ OUTSTANDING APP - Works Brilliantly!!!Downloaded and installed on my Touch, installed RealVNC Server on my desktop, allowed port 5900 (the default port) on the Firewall and connected - worked immediately and is far faster than I was expecting it to be. It must have taken less than a minute from downloading to using. Brilliant..Version: 0
✓ Perfect appPerfect App, just working as advertised.. Dont forget to add an VNC password from the settting/sharing menu on MacOS X . Thanks for making it free ...Version: 0
✓ ExcellentI have used this App for about 5 years now & find it invaluable. It's especially good when I've set something running or downloading on the Mac & go downstairs to be with the family, I don't need to keep running up and down to see if it's finished or ready. Just open the App & it's visible in an instant..Version: 3.9
✓ I don't usually write reviews... but...WOW!!!! This app is brilliant! I have an AppleTV in the living room and the iTunes library it streams from (G5) is in the attic and its a pain to keep going up and down all the stairs setting things up and turning the G5 on and off. Also because energy bills keep sky rocketing I dont like to leave my G5 on all the time or have it set to power on and off automatically because although useful its still quite inefficient. With VNC Lite I can now control the G5 while sat infront of the AppleTV. If I no longer want to watch the AppleTV and have no use for the G5 to be on I can turn it off from down stairs. The only downside to this app (and its only a very small one) is the interface needs a little refinement. Apart from that its probably the best app I've downloaded (for any platform)..Version: 0
✓ Work fineI downloaded this little app with some reservation due to all the negative reviews. I set up my MacBookPro to accept VNC connections in about 1 minute and logged onto it using this app about 2 minutes later!! The iPads screen resolution is less than your computer so obviously you'll have to scroll around a bit but the interface seemed to work ok over my local network. I'm not exactly sure how to right click but then I probably need to RTFM. I was also able to connected to a horrible windows vista machine no problem. So anyone who says this FREE app doesn't work is probably not setting it up correctly. Setting up any type of VNC server is going to require some reading and research (hint check your windows firewall setting, anti virus apps or router) unless you want to pony up $30 for those zero config apps so please read the bloody manual before you post negative comments or better still get your bespeckeled basement dwelling computer nerd cousin to help you!!! In years past I too have spent hours tooling around with routers and firewalls trying to get stuff like this to work so you have been warned !!!.Version: 0
✓ Works great, thank you!Works great with TightVNC and Windows 7!.Version: 3.1
✓ Amazing!!!This app has allowed me to multitask in my mac repairs. I can work on 6 macs at a time no matter what room I'm in! As for the complaints about the option key and command keys being removed, that's because they are part of the professional version. I am buying the pro version as soon as this review is done. Would recommend this to anyone who multitasks. It's also a nice way to turn off your computers at the end of the day..Version: 0
✓ Great appThis is a great app. Works perfectly. Ipad to PC is awesome..Version: 3.7
✓ More good than bad- or is it the other way around?I discvrd via the app store i could convert my iphone into a mouse. at first i thought for what? but i soon had a need for it. i initially checked out jumimouse and although it worked the pointer would fly all over my main screen or sometimes just dance around in directions completely opposite of what i wanted. i decided to check out VNC and it seemed like a very confusing and technical process just to get it up and running. long story short; i installed the entire thing (both on my iphone and pc in under 10 mints. no kidding. since my goal was only to get my phone to act as a mouse (watch a lot movies online and sometimes want to pause/rew/for etc without walking back to the other side of the room) i COMPLETELY missed the part i can also view everything on my monitor right on my iphone. (practically a mirror image. i think this is really great product, it more then served its purpose. my only concerns are security ones. there is the encrypted password option, but i hope additional security measures are added to this app..Version: 0
✓ Great little appI've just downloaded this and it seems great so far. I didn't really know what to expect as I've never had to set up VNC before but I downloaded the FREE Vine Server and that was self explanatory to set up and so the whole process was painless. I've only attempted to use it via Wi-Fi and it was a little choppy but as it's only to check things on the Mac then it's perfectly okay and well worth the download. It would be great if it had the ability to turn your Mac on remotely as well..Version: 0
✓ Nicely done!Mocha VNC does what it ought to. I VPN to my office's network, connect to my PC with VNC, and I can work on my XP box from my iPhone. The zooming and scrolling and such make it a little inconvenient to do any real work on a screen the size of the iPhone's, but if I really needed to get at something on my office computer while I was away, it would service nicely in a pinch. Over Wi-Fi it's highly responsive. It did crash out the first time I used it, but the second time it worked like a charm. My only complaint is that when it resizes my screen (my work PC is 1920x1200) it still crops off part of the window. Otherwise, a very handy little freebie!.Version: 0
✓ Super!Thanks to the viewer's research on port setting on vista/win 7, change it to 9020 and now it works perfectly good. Only 1 small issue why I can't make the desktop screen smaller? Too big for iphone...Also it only seems to work when my iPhone is using my home wifi but not other network such as 3G. Does that mean I have to forward the port in my router? Thanks heaps to anyone that can offer the solution..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic!Mocha VNC Lite does exactly as it states. Connect directly to your base computer from your iPad with either WiFi or 3G and access any of your files for review, mailing or editing. This is definitely one of the best apps in the store. I'll be looking to purchase the full Mocha VNC for Mac soon. Very well done Mocha team. Thanks for sharing your expertise..Version: 0
✓ Works well with Mac/iPadUsing the built in remote screen control in mac os x configured to allow vnc clients this worked well with my iPad. In the configuration screen of this app you cannot scroll down the bottom of the options while the keyboard is popped up. Other than that all works as listed. The picture looks great when sized any way. Mouse precision is very good. I wish I could view the mouse when it is moved by the host machine. The mouse pointer only updates when you move it through the Mocha VNC client. I'd like a way to size to fit exactly my ipad screen even if it messes up the aspect ratio of the screen, and multi touch on the screen shouldn't resize, it'd be best if it could be used to scroll a page like when using a laptop mouse pad. Thank you for offering this for free. I did not have any memory problems as many have mentioned. Maybe because I'm using Mac's built in VNC server rather than one from the people that sell VNC server..Version: 0
✓ Bloody fantasticThis is flawless in doing what a mobile screen-sharing client should do. It reminds me of Tomorrow Never Dies when Bond drives his car with his phone. It's fun for a casual user, and could be very useful for a IT guy who forgot to check a box on his server back at the office etc etc..Version: 0
✓ Good - butWell done for porting VNC to the iphone - better still for providing a free version. Not really that useful yet. Mac version is 32bit colour, so you need massive bandwidth to use it even over wifi it struggles - on 3g or edge it's just a "hey - look what I can do" thing to show your mates. Key VNC features such as zooming and file transfer missing (even from pay version). Keep up the development and it'll become very useful. Thanks for the work so far..Version: 0
✓ Works great!It works good but the refresh rate is the WORST! It refreshes every 20 second. Not recommended for gaming xD. Also it ALSO works with window 7 64 bit. But I will make it five stars if the refresh rate Changes to 0.1 milliseconds..Version: 0
✓ Great App!Many users may, as I did, not know you need to set up a free VNC server on your computer first though, but this is simple with free software online, and this is a great app, and you can access computer remotely, I have only tried it inside my house though, not tried the access from another network yet. I plan to when I have the opportunity though. A great app all round and deserves the 5 stars..Version: 0
✓ Awesome!!!This is the coolest app and works a treat!! I'm new at this stuff so I had to google a video guide on how to get it working (download on the pc open the ports etc) but once I did that I was blown away. God I love technology!! And free? I would have paid for this so awesome. Sure it's a little laggy but up until 5 mins ago I wasn't aware of this abilty so I don't much care!!!!.Version: 0
✓ Excellent vnc appThis is a excellent vnc app, works flawlessly unlike issh that I wasted money on..Version: 0
✓ Definately worth the downloadGreat little app that works and does what it says on the tin. Considering buying the full thing. Reccomend getting tight vnc as opposed to realvnc servers. Both are free but tight vnc is simpler and not as buggy as realvnc. Easy to setup if you've worked with vnc before, 3 mins to set ip and all is working :) I'm using this as a remote control (keyboard shortcuts) for zoomplayer at the moment :P.Version: 0
✓ Neat, and Free!Best free VNC client for iPhone I have tried, but sluggish when connecting to a large desktop. Often complains of low memory on the phone but useful for times when I am away from the Mac but want to check on a jobs progress etc form elsewhere in the house..Version: 0
✓ Does exactly what I needI installed Mocha VNC Lite on my iPhone and TightVNC on my Vista destop and the setup and configuration of everything took less than two minutes. Mocha VNC Lite does what I need in a VNC client and that's the ability to control my desktop and read documents while on the job. Network admins controlling servers remotely should use either Mocha VNC or Jaadu VNC, both of which offer more features. You have to option to install TightVNC as a program or a service, and those with any security concerns should install it only as a program and launch TightVNC only if you know you will need it that day before leaving for the office. Those without security concerns should install it as a service and allow it to run on boot. Both Mocha VNC Lite and TightVNC have worked flawlessly for me so far. You really can't beat Mocha VNC Lite for the price. Larry.Version: 0
✓ WorksWorks on mac mini 2011 / ipad mini, task to see if i could edit movies on ipad with after effects and final cut, out come - no sound, frame rate 9 frames per second at 15 seconds after movie had started ( this could be anyting from wi fi to ipad etc ) but for editing video purposes wi fi experiement did not work well enough, app easy to set up on OSX ease of use, rate 10 out of 10 for general use. Regards Rob.Version: 4.2
✓ Great bit of kit.For those of you familiar with VNC, it's a fantastic indispensible app that every machine should have. I can now VPN into my home domain and work domain and the VNC into any machine. Works beautifully with the only limitation (and an important one for me) being that the ctrl+alt+del key is missing from the free version so I'm off in a hunt for the Pro version. Wholly recommended!.Version: 0
✓ Mocha VNCSome of the other reviews below are a little misleading... This works fine on Vista 64bit (the problem is that most VNC servers aren't fully vista compatible... The latest version of ultra VNC does) and also works fine outside your home wifi network (if you have a wifi router with a firewall you'll need to know how to configure it to allow the VNC server on the PC through), over 3g and even gprs (albeit obviously slower). This works fantastically with the iPhones pan and zoom interface and is very easy to configure. You can store settings for multiple clients and then just connect with one button. I now get calls from my sister when she breaks something, and can just VNC in and fix it from my phone! Utterly recommended..Version: 0
✓ Great app. Few suggestions.I think you should be able to scroll through lists in applications (iTunes for example). In mobile safari when there is a scrollable list inside a web page you use two fingers to scroll. I think this should be implemented. So two finger swiping=scroll wheel functionality. Another thing is when your in the mode where every swipe is a press of a mouse (like when you can't navigate around the screen) the place where you put your finger is lower than where the software registers a click. Another suggestion that i dont know whether it is technically possible or not is transfer of sound. Also I recommend ultraVNC over tightVNC and realVNC as the response time is significantly better..Version: 0
✓ Very goodDownloaded "TightVNC Server" for windows and it works just fine with "Mocha VNC". The only problem is a low fps but can't ask more for a free version. I really do enjoy this app..Version: 3.1
✓ Read my review on the full versionHi for all you who can't use this or having problems using away from your home wifi area, software need for pc, read my review on the full version, great app, just like being at my desk but over 150miles away, amazing.Version: 0
✓ Impressive App!It's amazing this app is free! It works flawlessly over the 3G network - sure there's a 0.5 sec lag, but it doesn't bother me in the least. For users having trouble getting this to work, on XP you need to install RealVNC Server which is a small Windows application; all you need to do is set a password - you can leave everything else as default. If it still hangs when connecting, you might have a firewall and need to open port 5900 in your Windows Firewall Settings and your router. Thank you MochaSoft!.Version: 0
✓ Free access to Mac OS XThis does exactly what it needs to if you need to login to your desktop and your graphics driver or card is missing or out of date. Brilliant contribution. Life saver..Version: 4.6
✓ Superb App - Five stars!This App is simply superb. I use it to control my HiFidelio (a music server) my two Mac Mini's and a Windows PC. Works extremely well, apart from one thing - it seems not to like starting up in landscape mode. Attempting to start in landscape usually locks the App up. Starting the App, then starting the connection, waiting for the connection to be established and only THEN changing to landscape seems to be the (simple) cure. Given that this is a free App that is a very minor inconvenience and so I rate this with five stars..Version: 0
✓ Love it!Still basic but already brilliant! Vnc on the iPhone: hot. Bring on the new features!.Version: 0
✓ Fine with pcThis works fine connecting to a pc. It just has a few mac-specific items in the setup that pc does nomt need..Version: 3.1
✓ Good Relilable VNCI Use this every day at work and find it does every thing I need it to do why pay when this does the job..Version: 0
✓ Very cool, handy appThis is a very cool application, I didn't experience the crashing that other people did, it was quite stable for me, I used it with tightvnc and it worked perfectly, I even ran World of Warcraft over VNC with it, although it was horrendoudly slow :) But it's good for things like ssh if you don't have dirrect ssh access..Version: 0
✓ Great for windows not for mac throughOkay windows yes is what I call lesser than mac os x 10.5 but my mac mini shows the mouse keyboard and plus buttons over my dock making it harder to click on my icons on the macs dock so I use my dell studio 15 inch labtop and vista and XP have no dock just the start bar button at the bottom which is perfectally next to the keyboard icon and windows users my dell works on vnc with 32 bit on or off but off is lower quality and 32 bit on is way outstanding quality but I must add this acts like a really slow CRT when opening a application or using macro to view videos or other moving media or a pop up or closing somthing it acts like that real slow and CRT like so I would like to see faster macro support and better mac OS accomdations in the next update on this application..Version: 0
✓ Works BeautifullyI was really impressed with this app! Although it's not perfect, I gave it five stars because it's free and really gives you a lot of bang for your buck (espeically since your not paying a buck). I have a laptop that often travels with me, but keep the bulk of my files on my ext hard drive, which stays in my office. As such, I have a desktop computer always running at home in my office, which I use as a bluetooth server to backup my external HD. Now when I'm on the road with my laptop packed away, I can still access the files backed up on my desktop through my iPhone. This works perfectly with RealVNC. In fact, I even installed the real VNC viewer on my laptop so I can remotely control my desktop from across the room. The only thing it to remember to set whatever VNC program you are using as an exception in your firewall or you won't be able to connect from your iPhone and won't know why. Unfortunatley, I don't have a need for more functionality so there's no incentive for me to purchase VNC pro, but I may anyway just to reward the developers for creating such an excellent app..Version: 0
✓ FantasticThis app is absolutely fantastic. There are some minor scrolling enhancments to be corrected hopefully in the pay version. Which I am patiently waiting for. I knew nothing about VNC, but as a result of reading these comments, I downloaded TightVNC and installed it, ( not as a service ). My system is a Windows XP SP3. I then adjusted my firewall to allow in port 5900. Downloaded the Mocha VNC Lite app, and added it to my iPhone. Once all was installed, I opened TightVNC, changed my password, and by holding the mouse over the PC tray Icon, saw what the IP address was. Then open iPhone app VNC Lite, used the IP address, and changed the password to what I used in TightVNC. Then [ Connect ], and instantly my home omputer desktop page appeared then I executed Excel & other programs, no problems at all. Also remember that [ EDGE ] didn't work for me, I had to use wireless. Sorry for the long winded comment, but still awed by the app. This process worked for me, may not work for everyone..Version: 0
✓ Awesome..and even better FREE!!This is awesome! It took me a while to figure it out because I didn't know what the VNC password was but I finally got it! Here's instructions for the Mac: 1. To find your IP address just go to google and type in "Find my IP address" and click on one. It will tell you. 2. To enable your Sharing on your computer go to: Apple in top left corner, system pref., sharing, and enable your Apple Remote Desktop by checking it. A screen will pop up where you create your VNC password. 3. After you create your password, put it in your phone, and connect! Hope this helps anyone having some trouble!.Version: 0
✓ Works with LionIt works, but there's some tweaking you have to do that isn't well documented or explained really anywhere. Here's how to get a Lion mac working with the new 3.0 release: In the app, go to main/first page then click configure. Next select the Lion mac(s). The third option on this page should read "Mac OS X sign on". Slide this to ON. All that's left is to fill out the Mac OS X user and Mac OS X password fields with your mac's log on information. Things worked like before for me after this fix. Good fix Mocha, just please put a step by step ANYWHERE on your website. That would be helpful..Version: 3.0
✓ Great app, indispensable toolThis app works brilliantly to the built-in VNC client in OSX. With the iPhone 4, it handles my 1440x900 resolution screen with ease and provides exceptional clarity, making good use of the retina display. I find this one of my most useful apps, and if I ever want to connect to a windows pc, I'll not hesitate to purchase the full version. My only niggle with this app was the appearance of the menu buttons, but I'm glad to have found there is an option to 'shake' and show/hide these. I read another review which said there is no keyboard and it crashes a lot. I can honestly say it's never crashed on me, and there is a perfectly good keyboard built-in, although it would be nice to be able to have a numeric keypad, and arrow keys, but perhaps that's why I should buy the full version. I occasionally use these guys free RDP app too, and if your a windows user, it's worth taking a look at..Version: 0
✓ Outstanding application and easy to use!In using remote control on mobile devices, this is hands-down the best one I've used so far. I can even access my Linux box. I've used old PocketPCs, the Zaurus, and all versions of Windows Mobile phones with all forms of RDC and VNC. The zoom, panning, and keyboard controls are perfectly suited for the iPhone. The app is best suited on a wifi connection. You'll get frustrated over Edge...I don't have the 3G yet so I cannot comment on that experience. If you're familiar with VNC, you'll be very satisfied. It's strange to read any negativity around this product being that it's free. If you don't have a jailbroken phone, this is your only option but they did a great job! For those unfamiliar with VNC, you'll need to install the service in order to access your computer. Go to MochaSoft's website under the FAQs for reference and download links..Version: 0
✓ Fantastic and FreeA brilliant app. Very easy to set up on PC using the opensource program ultr@vnc and runs perfectly, no lag issues have been experienced. Simply could not ask for more from a free app..Version: 0
✓ What free apps should beExcellent app definately worth the download very powerful and didn't suffer from too much lag definately a well made app and can't Get much better for free.Version: 0
✓ Mocha lite vs. Other programsThis is a great app. I have used other apps including touch pad pro when I had my phone unlocked and this works better for Zero cost. I have had a few problems getting this app to save my settings but don't let it discourage you. For free I never expected an app to be so responsive. It makes simple tasks easy to do from anywhere and it's great if your lazy or have a desktop computer you wish to use from outside. This is a very powerful application and it has the potential to out preform the keyboard and mouse if you get used to it..Version: 0

✓ Works greatI don't know why people give low reviews because they cannot config it. If you know how to use vnc in a standard way. It works fine. And it is free..Version: 3.1
✓ Great AppReally good app, whats makes it better is that its free. Before I could get it working I had to pickup RealVNC Enterprise version, this is the only version that would run using Vista OS. This will be very handy when im at college, using my PC at home through 3G. What makes it even more handy is that my college has blocked LogMeIn, so I was looking for an alternative..Version: 0
✓ Great app but some little issuesThis app works great and works well but there are some issues that I have found mostley small however these include some small lag issues some times and doses not work with 2 screens but these issues are small issues for a well thought out program also a nice feature that I would like to see in a future revision is bonjour support so that it can pick up leopard screen shearing as this would make it easyer for less knowlageable users.Version: 0
✓ PerfectWhat can I say this is one of the best iPhone apps I have used on my phone yet. Being in bed bored with nothing to watch. I thought to myself why not watch somethig online. But the small screen on a laptop is annoying so I plugged in my laptop through VGA and away we go I controlled everythi from the comfort of my bed and then was able to shut it all down using this app and go to sleep what an amazing app 5*.Version: 0
✓ NiceFinally we are seeing the start of VNC/RDP/SSH clients for the iPhone 3G. This app works quite well on my LAN but I need the full version (full keyboard, alternate click) for this to be truly useful..Version: 0
✓ Full Version Soon?From what I've been able to try of the Lite version, this app is what I've spent the last 3 days trying to find and get functioning. I've tried other Browser based VNC methods to no avail. This app was simple to configure, and even easier to use. If only I could use CTRL+ALT+DEL. 32 bit over 3G crashed my iPhone, but worked great over WiFi. 16 bit worked great over 3G (so far). Hope Apple approves the Full Version soon. C'mon Apple!.Version: 0
✓ VNC + Iphone = Instant winFor those who are unaware, VNC is an application that allows you to remotely control your computer. It has been very well implemented to the iphone. It's smooth, completely stable and more importantly - FREE. The only issue i've faced with it is scrolling pages. They need to impliment a tab that works like the iphone's safari browser. Other than that, it's fantastic. Additionally, please do yourself a favour. Ignore the idiots below moaning that it's difficult to set up, only a technophobe couldn't. If you get stuck with it, just go look up a guide on it. Don't come on itunes and bash the program because of your lack of computing skills..Version: 0
✓ The best yetThis amazing app works only if you follow the instructions given. It is very convenient and very easy to use compared to other similar apps. Would recommended to anyone who needs easy assess to their computer!.Version: 3.1
✓ Run Photobooth on the desktop and you have a video monitor for the room on iPhoneEasy to set up and the picture of the desktop on the iPod Touch is so crystal clear. I left the photobooth on the desktop in the living room, and I could monitor what is happening in the living room by viewing the desktop on my ipod from another room. It is so cool. I could also open programs like iTunes if it is not running before I can use the Remote. It also allows you to shut down the computer. Thanks for giving it away free..Version: 0
✓ Update?Was good before the update, easily 4 stars, but the update has made it worse, slower and just generally bad... Please fix as it was one of my favourite apps before....Version: 0
😕 Mocha VNC Lite Negative Reviews
