Best vnc viewer, and issues with iPad Pro 10.5" resolved!
Update again on February 19: With combination of latest VNC update (3.4.0) and iOS 11.2.5, the app crashing issue seems to be resolved. Thanks again to the great support and software from RealVNC! -- Updated February 19: The update just pushed out today (3.4.0) definitely made an attempt at dealing with app crashes on iPad Pro 10.5" using smart keyboard. Most of the time, the single quote and double quote work just fine. However, the pesky app crash still occurs, but much less often. I tried playing with all of the keyboard settings, both for physical and logical keyboard, on iOS settings pages without complete success. I will update my support request with this latest feedback... --- I saw the developer response to the sudden crash when using the quote or double quote key on the iPad Pro hardware keyboard (not bluetooth). I tried the workaround by turning off auto punctuation, but the app. still is crashing. At least I know what key causes it now, but this is extremely frustrating. I have been using Real VNC products pretty much from the very beginning, and have always been impressed with the quality of the products. Please push out a fix for this ASAP and I will add a star back to this review.

Awesome app! Smooth and easy to use!
I’ve been using another large company app for years, but their prices have skyrocketed and I only need it now and then to connect to check certain personal files or documents or to show people how to do something! Installed it today following the steps and was able to connect to my desktop from my phone literally in about five minutes! Then I was able install on my other computer too! I haven’t tried it out in the world with normal cell reception data but on Wi-Fi, it’s smooth and no staggering mouse cursor etc. Best all it’s free for personal use! AAA+++

Very Easy to Use. Occasionally Unreachable but Still Great Overall
Sometimes it says that the server isn't currently listening for connections. But it usually works if you exit and try again in like 10-15 minutes. Other than that, this app is great (and free!). I'm only using this to monitor 2 Windows 10 OS computers from my mac. But this is definitely a service that I would subscribe to when the time comes. I mean just look at the fact that the developer actually responds to reviews. At least for me, it really shows that RealVNC cares about the customer and their experience.
