Let's face it, sometimes as humans we can be forgetful. Ever walked into a meeting and realized that you didn't remember to transfer a document or presentation you needed to your iPad? Or perhaps you forgot to email your finished lab assignment to yourself before leaving your dorm. Remote desktop apps for iPad let you take control of your computer, or someone else's if given permission, in order to view and transfer files while on the go. If you get work done both behind a desk and on your iPad, it's not a bad idea to have a remote desktop app handy. These are currently the best remote desktop apps available in the App Store for iPad!</p> <!--break--> <h2>Screens VNC</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-remote-desktop-vnc-apps-ipad' title="Best remote desktop apps for iPad: Access your Mac or PC from anywhere!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/screens_vnc_best_ipad_apps_screens.jpg?itok=MznTRQTn' />[/url]</p> <p>Screens VNC (http://www.imore.com/ios/screens-vnc) is dead simple to set up and start using. Just install Screens on your iPad and on your desktop computer and you're ready to fire up connections. Screens VNC has native apps for both iOS and Mac, but you can still create connections with Linux and Windows machines. Screens supports multiple displays too so if you have more than one hooked up to your Mac, it's not a problem. There's also support for shortcut keys, touch and trackpad modes, hot corners, AirPlay mirroring support, and more. Since Screens supports iCloud syncing, set up your computers on one of your iOS devices and you've got access from every device your iCloud account is linked to without any additional setup.</p> <p>If you want a streamlined remote desktop experience, it doesn't get much better than Screens VNC.</p> <ul><li>$19.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/screens-vnc-access-your-computer/id655890150?mt=8&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><p>See also:</p> <ul><li>Screens for Mac - $29.99 - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/screens-vnc-access-your-computer/id446107677?mt=12&amp;at=10l3Vy&amp;ct=d_im" title="" rel="nofollow">Download Now[/url]</li> </ul><h2>TeamViewer: Remote Control</h2> <p><a href='http://www.imore.com/best-remote-desktop-vnc-apps-ipad' title="Best remote desktop apps for iPad: Access your Mac or PC from anywhere!"><img src='http://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2014/08/teamviewer_ipad_best_apps_screens.jpg?itok=DUyp461D' />[/url]</p> <p>TeamViewer is available on virtually any desktop platform you can think of including Mac, PC, and Linux.
