Comments on RealVNC Viewer: Remote Desktop for Android

★★★★★ Pardeep Singh · Aug 21, 2026

Installed and using this app for the first time, Loving it. Way better than parsec for controlling PC, windows or Linux, from android. Really solved my problem of using Ubuntu remotely via android phone or tablet, especially from the lock screen itself. Can't use parsec in Ubuntu for hosting at all.

★★★★★ Ben Truitt · Jul 16, 2026

Have used this to access Linux machines from Windows devices and mobile devices, domestically and internationally. It has worked great for regular remote access.

★★★★★ Wesley Cate · Sep 20, 2026

Free VNC viewer. Supports everything the old free Real VNC client for Java/Windows that I remember, anyway, although I haven't used that desktop version since I started using Tight VNC. I use this app to connect to a Tight VNC server on Windows, and it works great.

★★★★☆ Michael Witbrock · May 5, 2026

Mostly works well, but it's annoying that there is no way to save the selection of a particular monitor for a particular computer. Also, to autofit is poorly designed, preventing access to the host screen's taskbar.

★☆☆☆☆ Jon · Jul 12, 2026

Compared to TeamViewer this is trash. So difficult to figure out how to connect my devices. Installed teamviewer and within 5 mins my devices were connected

★☆☆☆☆ Joshua Allen Gutz · Jun 20, 2026

It was fine until recently my laptop got a new IP, so I had to update the IP in the app. I did and now get the unencrypted connection warning page again, and I can uncheck the warn me every time toggle, but the actual ok button to proceed is at the very top of my screen UNDERNEATH MY STATUS BAR (underneath the battery and Wi-Fi symbols), so I can't press the ok button to proceed any further.

★☆☆☆☆ Ron Franks · Jul 25, 2026

Terrible UI. warning about unencrypted connections mixed with OS batter and signal UI making it impossible to get past the screen.
