Reviews for Splashtop Personal

nice app. awesome for internal network remote contro,l and more if you pay the plans which are pretty good for the prices, 5 stars for me

I can actually use this app with my phone to control desktop. My previous remote desktop app made this pretty much impossible. Very happy with ux and responsiveness. Paid tier is very affordable. Very happy so far.

SCAM! BEWARE!! I bought this app for a 2 week trip overseas, and I only expected to pay once. Months later I noticed multiple odd charges which revealed the I had somehow subscribed to monthly payments of $4.99. Might not sound like much, but it adds up really quick. Not to mention its for an app I haven't used since my vacation, and even then it didn't work correctly... Now I'm stuck with this app(which appears to hide any unsubscribing options). Currently reaching out to google play store.

Stopped working. I've used this app for years. But over the past few months, it hasn't worked well. First, the remote keyboards special keys (CTRL, etc.) stopped functioning. Tech support couldn't solve it. Now, when it connects to my PC, I only get a black screen. So, now, it's useless. Too bad, it used to be excellent. 11/12/20 UPDATE. Had to turn off screen blanking in Splashtop Streamer on my PC to be able to access my PC again. This had been working. Still 2 stars.

For personal use this is exactly what I was looking for and more. We run a live stream server for an SDS200 scanner and sometimes it requires on the fly changes but I'm always on the road. This allows me log in to my PC just like I am at home. We also run a fully automated computer light show for holidays from another PC and also require repairs or mods on the fly. So far this application has been perfect and has worked flawlessly. It is certainly worth the yearly subscription fee! Thank You!

I've had a good experience so far. I've tested 3 different remote apps. First, I tried Microsoft's RD Client. It was way better than I expected with ultra smooth gesture controls and quick responses. It is unfortunately limited to local network. Second, I tried the tried TeamViewer. It works very well, and is easy to set up, but it is not meant to work is situations that require graphics like light point and click gaming. This one's a very good balance. And they have a right to earn money.

Kudos to the developers. I've used other RD apps, including the official Microsoft one. I have a desktop downstair, which then I use the RD to access from upstair. With the Microsoft one, it was so laggy and it would often disconnet, not to mention, no way to handel the video. So, I initially thought it was my internet connection speed, so I upgrade to 1.5 Gig system. Still the same problem. Then I started looking around for a different solution and came across this. Oh man, you guys did good!

It was good. I used it frequently, but sometime... Maybe a year or so ago, the app stopped working when I connected from mobile. Things like, I would see display 2, no matter which display I told it to show. Black screens that won't activate. Not connecting at all. Just a littany of issues since the desktop client changed to the new version. I'm done once my year license runs out.

They cleared up the stability problems there for a while, but over the last couple of days I have had problems where I'm not even able to connect to my PC, doesn't matter which one of my computers, it just says failed to connect.. nothing's wrong with the client on the other end.. My wife already checked it out, don't know what the problem is.

This app works not well, but adequately in most cases. Even with advanced processing speeds though, it still pales in comparison to old school logmein on the desktop. If you are thinking about getting the app and integrating it with the remote desktop client, you're likely to be disappointed. There's a lot of lag in the mobile client, but compared to the desktop one, even on the same network, it's fast. I use the mobile one on both a Pixel 3XL and a Samsung Tab Nook, and on those, I can usually get something done, but it will take about twice as long - the interface is nice, and it isn't that hard to get used to - big points for designing something well, I just wish that it were more responsive, and I really wish that the desktop client would work well without my having to minimize the window and then switch back just to get the screen to update. A hint to those using this on mobile - if it looks like it's frozen, switch away and then come back. It seems to have a terrible problem keeping up with what's going on in some instances.

Its an extremely helpful app, but its buggy across multiple devices. Sometimes the controls, particularly on monile track pad vs gesture won't register, sometimes track pad spazzes and then goes back to gesture control. Sometimes gestures get stuck and lock as if you're holding down to click and drag. PC, Samsung Note 9, Toshiba 10" tablet. Gets good framerate on mobile and usually PC to PC. Been subscribed for years.

I've been using this app for over 10 years. The software has never disappointed me in that time. I am a yearly subscriber and for the price I have never thought twice about it. I have used it for security reasons. I have used it just so I'd not have to take my 3k laptop out of my home saving me the stress of an accident and the time for putting everything inside a backpack to haul that along with everything else I need in that day. customer service even has real people. always a happy customer.

Its that smooth. I have bought and used several remote desktop apps and i am by far more satisfied with Splashtop by a long shot. Simply look no further. Update 3 years later: I still love this remote access tool. Especially when used for applications that need higher frame rates such as games. I'm able to operate a game, full screen, over my mobile network (T-Mobile). Smooth. Well earned annual subscription.

Great when it works. But it's been getting worse month after month. At least a few times a week now I try to log into my computer from somewhere in my house to do a menial task. But I'm greeted with a black screen and no functionality when connected. Fighting with it trying to get a usable connection usually isn't worth the time. If the app is acting up I just sigh and walk to my computer rather than waste my time fighting the app.

Just what I wanted! I almost didn't download because reviews were (INCORRECTLY) saying you couldn't control the remote computer. Huh? That would make this almost useless. But it works just as well as going desktop to desktop! I use it in landscape mode, and my PC screen is perfectly represented. I have thus far only used it on the same network (in my home), but will try from an outside network and see how responsive it is. So far though, this is an *awesome* app! Works great on phone over 4G!

Not Bad. Almost Perfect. I have the personal version for less than $20/yr. I'm not complaining at all. There's a little trade off of picture quality for speed, but it's quite adequate. The controls are good once you understand them. Depending on what you are doing, it's really great, or it can be quite challenging if you're on your phone. Sometimes there's connection issues that seem to be related to the servers in between your client terminal and the slave at the other end. Well worth the cost!

This app is not as good as it use to be. The keyboard is absolutely horrible. It won't let you type one letter at a time, only as full words then you have to press enter to insert the words into the text box. Also they limit you to having 5 devices connected to your account even if they aren't on or running. Half the time the app won't see my servers. Even within the same Lan the app can't see my servers. It will say no internet connection, when my internet works fine.

This is an edited review. I've kept using splashtop because it works well on mobile and I can switch to a PC easily if I need to. One other issue is that typing on a mobile phone connected to a PC running a Virtual Machine will not have all of their key presses forwarded to the VM, so splashtop doesn't work in that (specific) case. Other than that and my edit history, I changed it from a 2 to a 4.

It's awesome being able to do stuff with my computer even while I'm away from it. Tho it's not perfect, at least as far as the controls. The app's scroll wheel has no option to click it in, and I can't adjust how much or how little it scrolls. For some reason while running a 3D game moving the computer's mouse on my phone's screen doesn't pan or rotate the camera in the game. I know this isn't ideal for playing games; just thought I'd bring this to light. Given it 4 stars because it's so useful.

Had used for years for free on the same network. Finally subscribed earlier this year and I use it *all the time.* So great to be able to use my much more powerful desktop computer, which stays at home, from my budget laptop and phone, able to run all my programs from anywhere. Wish I had subscribed years ago. Such a good value for being able to use it as much as I want to! With a good enough internet connection, I've been able to play games, watch videos, edit audio... Everything! Love it!
