Hi snk-nick,

Thank you for the kind words.

Yes, Apple has approved the submission. The new app is now available in AppStore.

Despite having a commercial license the "Your computer has been connected in a remote session..." popup appears. I assume this is because the app does not know what my license is?

That popup is unrelated to your license. It belongs to older Host versions — in recent Host updates it has been replaced with a universal Host panel, which can be minimized into a small label at the side of the screen. Updating the Host on the remote computer should resolve what you are seeing.



On the licensing question itself, your assumption is essentially right — the mobile app currently has no way to know about your license, and that is by design. The app is completely license-free: using it does not take up your license slots and works as a free addition to whatever license you have.

The reason is that App Store and Play Store rules prohibit apps from implementing their own licensing mechanism. The only permitted approach is signing in to an online account that governs the license scope, and we plan to introduce such an account with a sign-in option in the future.

Hi Jim,

Appreciate the response, thank you very much. If you could leave a review on Google Play, that would be great. Unfortunately, our old iOS/Android app was far from up to the mark, and we accumulated quite a few bad reviews there. Now that the new app is entirely different, those old reviews no longer apply — so the more fresh reviews we receive, the better. Thanks!

As for macOS and Linux — they are actually available, in beta for now, but fully usable. Here are the download pages:

RU for macOS
RU for Linux

A new update has been released and is now available in both stores.

Support for headless machines without a mouse has been added. The cursor is still rendered even when no physical mouse is connected.

A simplified "Add connection" screen with the "Connect now" option has also been added, similar to how it works in the desktop Viewer.



Finally, the connection properties now provide a clearer distinction and switch between Direct connection and Internet-ID connection, again following the approach used in the desktop Viewer.



You can download version 14.0.2 now in Google Play and App Store.

Thanks.

A really nice feature for the default tap option would be to have it set either to "nothing" or to give the same menu of all connection types the same as when you tap the arrow at the end of the entry.

That makes sense. We'll add 'None' and 'Show menu' options and make the 'Show menu' the default option.

Thank you for your feedback.

Version 14.0.3 is available now in stores. Added localization into 23 languages and updated the 'Default tap action' menu as suggested above.

Thanks.
