I am still can not update the application ...

Works well on Lion. Good job on this update. Thanks.

• ★★★★☆   UG Reviews 12 years ago ( v 2.0 )

This finally solves the issues with Lion machines. Its a straight-to-the-point tool with a nice interface. It can still be enhanced a little (organization of the thumbnails, resize…), but it works very smoothly now.

À éviter… (to be avoided)

• ★☆☆☆☆   forgottentowel™ 12 years ago ( v 2.0.2 )

Jai acheté Screens pour remplacer mon précédent app VNC, mais je suis très deçu de cet app, pourtant bien renommé. Deconnexions intempestifs, gels de lecran distant, inversion de clic gauche/milieu, pertes aléatoires des mots de passe enregistrés… bref, pas à la hauteur de sa réputation et loin derrière certains concurrents qui ont des interfaces beaucoup moins soignés cest sur, mais qui ont le grand avantage de fonctionner correctement. __ I bought Screens to replace my previous VNC app, but I have to say I am very disappointed in it, despite its glowing reputation. Random disconnections, remote screen freezes, messed up left/middle clicks, loss of saved passwords… the list goes on, but basically this app is far behind its uglier, but far more reliable, competitors. Perhaps the people who rate this app highly are only using it to connect to other Macs, but in our mixed Mac/Windows/Linux environment it just falls flat on its face.

Ne fonctionne quen réseau local
