Contact Splashtop Business Support

I’m reviewing the iOS app specifically. I’ve been using Splashtop Business for several years now, and been largely happy with it on PC/Mac, and it seems to work well even on iOS with one caveat: It absolutely destroys battery life. If I forget to force close the app, it will tank the battery on my iPhone 8 Plus in a matter of hours. Another user posted a review, and Splashtop responded that this was a known issue and it would be fixed in the next version. That was six months ago. Why is it still an issue?! I don’t know what the app is doing in the background (it’s not supposed to be doing ANYTHING,) but it is using a whole lot of battery. I wonder if someone is mining crypto currency or something?!

The actual application is easy to use, logs in smoothly, and rarely has connection issues (with exception to internet disruption). Compared to others, this is far superior. If you have two screens on the computer you’re logging into, there’s support for both at once, or one at a time. There’s an easy Control-Alt-Delete function for locking/restarting, etc. In terms of connectivity, it works well. However, there’s a major update needed for this to be viable long-term… After a year+, Apple’s Magic Keyboard is not fully supported. Keys such as arrows and shift/control commands don’t work. Splashtop has work-arounds within the on-screen keyboard controls, but it takes twice as long to click through the additional menu bars. Apparently there’s a fix in place, but this significantly impacts usability. Definitely 5-star material once the usability is resolved.

Works well, but needs to be updated for newer devices. Devices such as the iPhone X and newer will have the screen cut off on the top and sides when zooming. I’m constantly switching between landscape and portrait to see the side of the screen! Reply: Update your app. Changing the resolution of the remote computers is not a viable solution. The app should properly handle zooming with any resolution. The top and bottom should be considered. See Apple’s app design documentation on “safe space.” Also, check out how other apps handle this correctly. TeamViewer is a good example.
