    Following update the load screen is awful. It's like it's trying to confuse where you need to click so you click on an ad. Other than that it works fine once running. I find connection a bit faster than previous version. I'd prefer a menu option to select 'right click menu' than the current two finger tap, but it does work better than previous version.

    I'm okay with the annoying startup pop up. It's the best because of an ad-free app. EDIT: Used to be my default VNC app, but I moved to a different one because of some long lasting minor bugs.

    great app except scaling which is a bit off (it leaves quite a lot of real estate in 20:9 screens like redmi note 9 pro, maybe a stretching option could be useful for some)

    Overall, very good app ! And the best I found for some VNC over SSH. One odd thing though: Since the last update, the screen moves up and down when dragging up and down (with the "zoomable" feature). But I mean, more than the actual screen size, by showing black empty screen. It wasn't doing this before. Bug ?

    While the UI isn't the best, it is functional. What really brings my rating down is that if you want to connect with AnonTLS enabled by selecting that option for the connection this app will fail to connect and suggest you turn off AnonTLS. Edit: Updated rating as dev is aware and actively working towards a fix.
