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

The app is great but it draws down power on an iPad Pro M5 extremely rapidly. Even plugged into a charger, power goes down faster than it can be supplied by the charger. Surely, this is a bug whereby something is staying too busy.

1. [BUG] Constantly getting "unable to enable curtain mode" popup annoyances for macOS 27 hosts. I have followed the ***EXACT*** instructions on the website and have ensured remote login is set up appropriately. Please fix. 2. [FR] Please add curtain mode status icon (working/broken/not selected) to AVP app. 3. [FR] It would be nice to also have RDP support, as half of my remotes are Windows and RDP is honestly just better for scaling and low-data environments than the comparatively terrible VNC protocol. RDP would also be useful for some Linux remotes, strangely enough.
