Ratings and Reviews
One thing is missing
Jump is great and very fast. One thing I would love to see is a keyboard or button shortcut to change monitors when using 2 or more screens.
This is perfect!
After iTeleport got discontinued, I’ve tried several VNC apps and was always disappointed. The trackpad mode of moving the mouse always felt flimsy and cheaply made or non-existent, but not on Jump! On Jump it feels like a real trackpad just like iTeleport was, it’s like a drop-in iTeleport replacement! And it supports mouse too! The only VNC app I’ve found so far that actually works with a mouse!
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a VNC app to remotely control their computers!*

Okay, but nothing special
I have to admit, there were quite a number of positive reviews about this app around the Web, so my expectations were set. They were not met, though. I just bought it today and after two hours of tinkering, these are my thoughts. 1) The most frustrating part of the experience is that the remote desktop never occupies the full screen on iPadOS; there’s always black borders somewhere, and combined with the panning, the experience is super janky. 2) The toolbar is missing most options that are apparently available when using MacOS as the client connecting to a remote, and the toolbar itself is very janky and just cumbersome. 3) If ever you use the lock cursor option you can literally never escape the remote desktop without completely swiping away the app on iPadOS; there’s simply no getting to the toolbar after you’re in, despite what documentation may state. 4) When connecting to a locked computer (like MacOS), good luck ever typing the password in with the onscreen keyboard; the keys typed in get cleared after a few seconds automatically, so the resulting password would be like the last four characters only. 5) The picture quality is not actually superb; it’s just alright. I was surprised because this is from two different local networks that I tested, and despite the “graphics mode” setting. How can there be that much latency on a local network? Without the diagnostics on this client I guess I’ll never know why (see point number two). 6) The iPadOS and iOS apps have not been updated in over a year (it’s currently May 2025), which strikes me as quite a red flag; have they abandoned support? It does not give me confidence. 7) After two hours of tinkering with settings, it feels like many of them do nothing, especially around screen resolution and mirroring, so forget having a useful experience with iPadOS connected to an external monitor and Jump fullscreen on it. 8) Scrolling is very choppy. 9) The overall experience is very non-Apple; in other words, the experience is unpolished and just has that uncanny feel you get when you use non-Apple products: sure, they’ll do what they say on the tin, but for those of us on Apple, we want the premium experience, not the experience that just gets you by. Overall, I’m thinking of getting a refund and looking for alternatives that are more seamless and more Apple-like. It’s mind-boggling that Apple doesn’t have a native app for this when they already do screen sharing built into their FaceTime and iMessage apps.
