v10 Battery Drain needs attention
V10 addressed the biggest problem it had with mis-matched screen resolution over FLUID. Unfortunately, the new version seems to have a much higher battery drain. Approx 40% after a little more than 1hr or usage (on an M4 iPad Pro). This seems much higher than previous versions. I have really enjoyed using Jump to connect to my Mac while commuting to work on the bus and look forward to the battery drain issue getting resolved.

Love the latest update
I like how the remote connection to a Mac now creates a virtual display, automatically setting the best resolution and ratio to fit the iPad.

THANK YOU!
I really thought this app was not getting any more support, but you did it. And fixed for the latest newly introduced changes on the VNC on MacOS. THANK YOU.

Problems, problems and no help
I recently purchased your product for my iPhone and iPad. I created a new account and was notified that an email would be sent to me to explain the next steps. I did not receive that email. I even looked in spam. It was not there. I tried signing up again – multiple times in fact because there was no way for me to request that the email be resent. I tried to contact Jump – it was not easy. I’ve sent multiple emails and received no response. The only thing jump did right was Bill my account and send me an email receipt TO MY EMAIL. There is no such thing as help with this application. There is obviously no way to talk to a live person. And the only thing that worked was Jump got my money. There is a real problem with your app. It might be nice for you to fix it. In the meantime, can you refund my money?

macOS 27 VNC Issues
I’ve used Jump Desktop for years and generally like it, but the public iOS app hasn’t been updated since 2023, and I’m now running into VNC compatibility issues with macOS 27.

Update is coming
Apple made security updates around screen sharing and broke this app. However, I have found signs of the developer working to resolve this issue. They aren't ignoring the fact that the app is currently broken. Signs point to an update coming very soon.
Yes, the app has been stagnant for updates for 2 years. Not a great look, but this app is buy once. You get what paid for. And up until Apple made breaking changes, it worked. That's good value without an in-app subscription.
I'm grateful for the developer working to resolve the issue. Hopefully it lands soon!

Broken, No updates in 2 years
This app worked great until Mac released a patch for the Remote Desktop no-auth bug. Now, this app will not connect at all to any of my Remote Desktop enabled Macs. It hasn't been updated in 2 years so I anticipate this app is permanently broken. Do not buy.

Doesn’t work with Tahoe 26.6.1
After updating to the latest macOS, it ‘jumps’ to the list of servers screen with no a single alert explaining why it cannot connect… And no updates for years… Get refund ASAP!

Setup was flawless
Just started using this app for connecting to my Mac remotely. Setup was totally automated and flawless. It steps through all the permissions including required restarts without missing a beat. Setup my Mac on my account then opened the app on the iPad and launched it immediately.
Works great! Touch control is perfect. I will be using this when I travel.

Input doesn’t work
I connect and can see the screen, but keyboard input doesn’t work — pressing keys triggers random actions, opens/closes various applications, and executes hotkey combinations.

Works on AVP but bluetooth mouse is glitchy, needs AVP overhaul
AVP version (well, the iPad version) now works pretty well. The mouse cursor still tends to jump all over to match the gaze during interruptions (instead of just staying where the cursor was last used) when using a bluetooth mouse with AVP. I think what honestly needs to happen is a version specific to AVP (there are dozens of us!) for the power users who are trying to connect to many remote hosts in an AR space. Please feel free to charge $200 USD for this version, I just need the best for my work. Thanks.

No Linux support apparently
ChatGPT recommended this to connect to my Linux desktop. Well, after paying $15 for it, it doesn’t work at all and the forums indicate the developer has no plan to fix it.

I spent all night with ChatGPT trying different configuration combinations and none worked for remote access.
I wish I knew this before I paid for this useless software.

Missing Modern Linux Support
Jump used to be my go-to Remote Desktop app, however development seems to be stalled and the app is lacking support for modern key types and Gnome Remote Desktop.
