Jaadu Viewing a Mac OS X Computer

Are you constantly away from home or the office and always have the need to check something on your desktop? If your job requires you to use VNC then Jaadu VNC is the perfect iPhone application for you! Jaadu VNC is a Virtual Network Computing (VNC) application that allows users to access other computers with ease.

Compared to most other VNC applications on the App Store, this one exceeds in performance and has great features.

  • Mac, Windows, or even Linux: What’s your preference? With Jaadu VNC, it doesn’t matter! Jaadu allows you to connect to a Mac, PC, or Linux computer and still maintain great speed. Not matter what your OS preference: Windows, OSX, or Linux, Jaadu can connect to it.
  • Simple, Yet Innovative: Jaadu has a unique user interface that is quite easy to use. When connected to a computer, you are shown the screen, as well as five buttons on a toolbar across the top. Here you can quickly disconnect, change settings, show/hide system keys, enter the navigational/function/keypad mode, or show/hide the keyboard. If you prefer to hide these buttons, you can hide them with a simple three-finger vertical swipe.
  • Reliable and Fast: This application is very reliable and maintains a great, constant speed. Well, over WiFi that is. The application might not be the best choice to use over EDGE, but over WiFi, it has a solid rate. I have never once had the application quit on me or lose my connection. This application is a great choice for users who want to be able to trust the connection.

    • The GoodIMG_0221

    Jaadu has to be one of the best, if not the best, VNC client for the iPhone. It is easy to use, reliable, fast, and simple. Although the price is not the cheapest, it definitely is worth it. From testing this application, it works great with following operating systems: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Snow Leopard, Fedora 11, and Red Hat Linux. What is my point? It works. I love this application and will definitely use it on a day-to-day basis during vacations and road trips.

    The Bad

    I have very few complaints with this application. First of all, as I mentioned early, the price. Twenty-five dollars isn’t bad, but there would definitely be more sales if it was priced lower at around fifteen. Second, the display is not very crisp unless you zoom in. When zoomed in, it looks great, but zoomed out, not so much. According to Jugaari, the company who created Jaadu, the application works with dual displays as well, combining them both onto the iPhone’s screen. Although this could become a little harder to use, it is a great concept.
