iPad Remote Desktop Apps
Most of these apps are free and specially designed for power users, who can handle their computer on the go with iPad large screen. Take a look at those apps…
1 Microsoft Remote Desktop: This is one of the best RDP ever that is made for iPad and iPhone by Microsoft itself. It’s powerful features allow your iPad to work seamlessly without losing connection to your computer.
You will never feel that you are on iPad. With MS RDP, you can do almost everything on the go. If you have computer powered by Windows operating system, then this is the best for your iPad to control your PC.
2 Jump Desktop: It is another great remote desktop connection manager for iPad. Jump Desktop works on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. However, iPad desktop connection is amazing. It supports MAC OS, Windows 8, 8.1 runs on iOS 9.0.3 to 5.0

It is easy to setup, secure and reliable. Jump desktop (RDP) is one of the best app that offers almost all features comparing to other applications. However, you have to pay around $14.99 for this app. iPhone, iPad and iPod users can purchase this RDP app from iTunes.
3 Remote Desktop Lite: It is also known as Mocha. It is lite version that offers similar features like other remote desktop applications. You can use it on your iPad, iPod and iPhone. As alternative, you can use it and test whether you like or not. Lite version has very few features and not recommendable for official work. If you are looking for any app that help you access your computer files or software on the go, then I would recommend above two RDP rather than this one.
4 PocketCloud: It is one of the best remote desktop applications for smaller screen iOS device whether you have iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. It works just like a winner. You get all the best features at free of cost. PocketCloud works seamlessly with Google account.
If you have Google gmail or any product account, you can use it to login PocketCloud application on your iPad to access your computer. Its 100% free. PocketCloud offers seamless remote connectivity for both Windows and MAC OS. There are very few apps that works for MAC OS as remote manager and PocketCloud is one of them.
5 TeamViewer: We all are familiar with TeamViewer. It is one of the trusted Windows 8 Remote Desktop Connection Manager that also works in iPad iOS 9.0.3 whether you have iPad Air or Mini. TeamViewer offers connectivity with MAC OS and Windows operating system. It is also free utility.
From Editor’s Desk
These are the best and possible ways to connect remote desktop connection between your computer and iPad. I personally have been using TeamViewer in my Laptop to control my office desktop PC and Microsoft Remote Desktop iPad app for the same.
Hey, another very good alternative is RHUB. Its remote support servers provide easy remote access to all computers from anywhere anytime.
hey people splashtop stremer is for me
Worse with every version :/ (design is ok) extremly buggy and where is repeat all and repeat one options??? Does not feel like app from Apple anymore or maybe this is still a beta version..
Has nobody else noticed that there is no iOS redesign of iBooks, yet? It gets left out of every list.
You say that you “…really like the redesigned remote,” even while saying it has no new features and admitting that you’re “really looking forward to trying it out more soon.” In other words, you barely tried it, but really like it, even though it has new features. Then how about, “At first glance, the redesign is spiffier, although there are no new features. But I also haven’t had the chance to put it through its paces yet.”
First of all, this isn’t the first app to provide remoting in to your desktop, if you want something that works – try LogMeIn. It’s incredibly easy to use and set up. This “official” app that everyone is so pumped about because it’s “official” isn’t near as user friendly.
I can’t even get the damn thing to work. If you try to follow the “help” in the app, you’re brought to a novel of instructions. How difficult does this really have to be? LogMeIn is a 15 MB download, once you install, it works. Microsoft tries to make you solve the matrix just to set it up. Stay away from this POS
Something remarkable: Microsoft had to buy the app “iTap RDP” from its developers and almost simply renamed it in order to have a decent RDP client.
TeamViewer is a nice alternative. I will stick with it
You’re correct man,
It’s very confusing… The iPAd app does not seem to have anything in common with the Windows Remote host app. The host app offers Easy connect password, while the iPad app wants to know the Gateway, Connection name etc. Like trying to read a CD with a tape recorder… Going back to Teamviewer.
Why is there no iTunesRadio control? It honestly makes no sense to me. Apple really sold me on that and now I can’t control it without being at my systems.
The Jump Remote is perfect remote connection manager for RDP and VNC
I have it on my iPhone 5S runs on iOS 9. It works like a charm
have you purchased it or got using Cydia tweaks like iAPfree or iAP Patcher?
I also try to get it using above tricks. I will post as soon as I will install it.
