"Can't believe this is free!"

by jsimpson2334 on June 20, 2005

Pros: MS Netmeeting doesn't have a tenth of the features of this and the lag is totally fine if you change the color depth. Plus it doesn't have annoying adverts or spyware all over it. This is the only free remote screen app I could find that would even let you send files.

Cons: Homepage is a weird color

"Works just fine, but definite lag time is annoying"

by kwpilz on June 2, 2005

Pros: Very simple to use and directions seemed very clear.

Cons: There is such a lag time when using the desktop feature that it's annoying. MS NetMeeting is also free and works much faster.
