Great potential but...

I really want to like this app. It has a great user interface and renders the remote host beautifully. But it clearly has too many issues to give a good review to. I am unable to use right-click on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux remote host because after the context menu is displayed, moving the mouse in the slightest bit causes the menu to disappear.

In addition, typing in a console window on my remote host causes the Sceens VNC client to disconnect. I was told to resolve this that I had to hide the local cursor, and while that did resolve the disconnect issue, it basically left the UI unusable with the mouse.

I think this will be a nice product once they resolve all the issues with this current release (1.2) and I was told that they will fix a great many features in their next release (1.5) due out sometime this FALL, but until that happens I simply cant recomment this product.

So here it is December 27, 2011 and Im still waiting for the next release, which was promised to be delivered in the Fall. So where is it? Im still sitting on the same old version, 1.2, of this software tht I spent my money on in which it is total unusable. The developer promised fixes in the next release and promised that would be in the Fall but we have yet to see anything resemling a new version. It is completely disappointing that you spend your money on what appears to be a good piece of software only to be disappointed and receive no support for the issues that the software has. My recommendation is to avoid this application completely. Real VNC is stable, fast, functional and free. Why spend the money on this application, which is not stable enough to use and clearly does not receive the promised updates that the developer advertises, when you can have Real VNC that works correctly for free.

Here we go again with version 2.0. Its Feb. 21, 2012, How many months have gone by since I reported my issue? Far too long, thats how long!

How excited I was that the new version was released and would potentially fix all the issues that I had with the previous version, but it is not so. Im still unable to right click and move the cursor at all because the context menu will disappear as soon as the cursor is moved. The result: Unusable.

Dont waste your money. Clearly the developer(s) dont take major issue seriously. Save yourself $20 and just download RealVNC. Its fast, stable and free.

Nov. 3, 2012 - Finally the developer has addressed my issue in release 2.1.3. But even though my original issue is resolved I still cannot recommend this product. THe remote screen renders slowly from my Redhat Linux server. It makes me feel as if I am using a 10 year old machine.

Ive given up on screens all together and purchase iTeleport instead which performs exceptionally well and demonstrated none of the issues that this software does. Side by side, iTeleport performs Screens and makes it look very poor.
