Air Login App Reviews

I deleted it. It cant be used locally without creating an account with the developer. Yet another "free" app that requires an account. The details mention a "free" account but should be updated to make it clear it is mandatory even for local LAN use where you might not have Internet access from all machines.

I wish this app came out sooner, before I wasted money on iTeleport. Easily lets me control my computer from other rooms of the house.

I have used similar applications that are not great but at least they connect. This app never connected and froze my iPhone 5. Looked nice though.

Sure would like for the remote part to be free with restrictions like logmein has. I dont want to shell out for a subscription just yet. Want to take it for a test run; like when Im on the road not on LAN. The whole idea is to be able to get to my stuff while Im on the WAN; in my mind at least. That said, for me it worked like a charm. Even can use quicksilver via this apps virtual keyboard (impressed). I like all the features offered. Just give us the remote access for free also, if u will with caveats.

I have had the app installed for 3 days now. After a long delay authenticating I always get Host Offline message. Each time. Every time. As a result I have no idea if the app works. Very frustrating. At a minimum the alternative apps always connect.

Not worth it. Very difficult to work with desktop view from iPad. Very small text and the "mouse" is awful. Not only that, but I got billed $14.99 and was unable to cancel with iTunes because app shows up as "free" on my account! Im apparently stuck for $14.99 so dont buy unless you are sure this is something you need.

I am a constant user of LogMeIn ignition and found it to be the best option to date for remote access. Now, after using Air Login, I have no doubt that Avatrons app will replace Ignition in the near future. Their attention to detail has made strengths out of other apps weaknesses. It was an excellent choice to constantly display the Macs menu bar at the top of the screen. I love everything about its feel from the layout of controls to the simplicity of use. Even the keyboard is a welcome improvement over LogMeIns awkward design. Air Login feels like it was designed the way a remote access app should be, much how quality iOS app design was re-defined by Tweetbot, Evernote 5, Wunderlist 2 and Chrome (sorry, Safari). Even though Air Login feels revolutionary, this is still a 1.0 release and more evolution is needed ASAP. Switching between open apps, desktops and user accounts all failed or dont exist as an option. It was unable to access a second user account and instead froze on the last screen of the first account. The dock could not be accessed as the pointer reaches a limit a few pixels above the unhide activation zone. Right now, the app will not connect from my iPhone... which is probably due to overloaded servers after Steve published the article above. Growing pains aside, I am very happy this app has seen its first release. Avatron designed an app based on a real understanding of how people want and need to work. Once it matures and scales past the issues above, there is no question it will be worth the $14.99/year subscription price (and a 5-star rating)!

I gave this app a 1 star at its infancy. I promised to re-rate this app if it actually works and stable on iPad 2. As promised I added more star but it can be improved of course.

I really want to like it, but I cant - not quite yet. The desktop app doesnt save username and password, the getting started experience was buggy and slow for me. Connections have been reliable on my home Wi-Fi and the iOS app is awesome for controlling my Mac – but getting started and keep using it is just too hard right now. Ill keep trying and hope to update this review to more stars soon.

One of the impressive / useful apps Ive ever come across for the ipad. Worth every last penny!

This is the first VNC-ish app that seems to give a flying crap about how easy it is to get stuff done. Six stars.

Another polished, Apple-quality app from Avatron. Love the price: ya cant beat free. This is a really amazingly well polished app in a genre that tends to be kind of spartan where you need features, yet bloated where you dont. Other remote-access apps offer features like 16-bit rendering and codec choice. Seriously. Those are implementation details. I dont care how the app encodes the screen contents. Just make it look nice and update the screen as fast as possible.

Cannot believe how user friendly this app is. Kudos to the amazing team who created it. I use it almost everyday.

iPad App installed… Mac App installed… account created & logged in… devices showed on both side… mac icon tapped on ipad… Encrypting… Drawing… "Connection Reset, Lost connection with remote host." App quit, Restarted… Problem still… Really nice UI (worthy of 2 stars), really disappointed… btw, Mac OS/X 10.7.5 on MBP, iOS 6.1 on iPad mini, over the same WIFI router...

Extremely useful for anyone who owns a Mac, definitely a must-have. Works flawlessly on my iPad (3rd Gen.) and iPhone 4S.

Rendering engine is amazingly good on those rare occasions it connects. (See iRichardvs review. Same experience.) I worked with the support folks for almost a month before they vanished. 2 stars for rendering. That is all.

Downloaded and installed on iPad. Created account. Downloaded and installed connect app on Mac. Logged into account. iPad sees Mac Mac sees iPad. Time to connect......nope. "Connection reset: Lost connection with remote host" Have now tried three suggested fixes from their support.....nope. Cant connect. And this is simply on my local network, not a true "remote" connect. Air Login......nope.

Based on a good review on Macbreak Weekly I decided to try this app and the companion software for the mac. First of all, do not believe the statement on MBW that the IOS app is free. This claim is made on a video on the developers web site as well and other review sites and obviously it is now $1.99 (perhaps to cash in on the reviews?) I thought the feature of having the menu bar pinned on the screen seemed worth the cost so I took the plunge. Learn from my mistake and save your money. I was able to connect for a moment to my imac and then it dropped. Now it is "offline" and nothing I do seems to bring it back. I was able to get to my MacBook Air multiple times, but that is not the machine I want to access. Another time I have had to spend money to test an app and find it is not worth the cost. When will I learn? I am running 10.8.2 on both machines and they are on the same wireless network with the ipad.

I installed the app after a review on MacBreak Weekly and its awesome. I have it installed on multiple computers and even purchased the 1 year subscription. I had a question about running the app on a Standard account on OS X and they responded quickly and with a solution. Highly recommended.

Writing this on my phone but on iTunes on the Mac. A great and polished app
