User Reviews

Screens 5 is a polished, high‑performance VNC client for Apple devices with strong cross‑device support and built‑in Tailscale. It offers a cohesive Apple ecosystem experience and solid documentation, but reviewers frequently cite concerns over pricing/subscription and fiddly initial setup. Outside LAN reliability can also vary. Overall, a strong choice for security‑mfocused, multi‑device remote access if cost and setup are acceptable.

Pros

Polished, high‑performance VNC/remote desktop client for Apple devices with fast rendering and low latency.
Built-in Tailscale integration enables secure, hassle‑free remote access without port forwarding.
Strong cross‑device support (multi‑device connections) and seamless Apple ecosystem integration (iCloud sync, universal across iPhone/iPad/Mac).
Modern, user‑friendly UI with centralized management and good documentation/support.

Cons

Pricing model and ongoing subscription costs are a common point of critique, with some users preferring perpetual licenses.
Setup and initial connection can be fiddly or unreliable, with multiple users reporting setup challenges before it works.

Recent reviews

Great software that allows you to remote to MAC laptop or desktop.

I have two Apple IDs on my Mac. I purchased the subscription with one Apple ID, but whenever I switch the App Store to my other account, Screens 5 keeps asking me to subscribe again. The subscription only works after I sign out of the App Store and switch back to the original Apple ID. This is extremely inconvenient and frustrating. I’m planning to cancel my subscription because of this. If you use two Apple IDs, I strongly recommend not subscribing to this app. It is simply too painful to use in this situation.

The latest update is a joke and an absolute disaster. The following functionality no longer works: saved links, clicking on the remote computer, scrolling is so slow it’s essentially broken. In sum: all functionality has been destroyed. Despite having the better part of a year, I canceled and moved to Astropad Workbench because it actually works, even though I don’t like it as well.
