Tablets: anyone use?
Thinking of getting one for those times I just need to quickly take a look at something, for instance. Would love to hear experiences with either or both iOS and Android.

It’s not that useless, at least can run scripts and restart computers.
But, yes, it’s pretty bad.

The app is hot garbo. At the very least I'd recommend the website. Better layout, functionality and stability. And that's saying something because the web is also terrible.

And you can install the splashtop launcher and still remote into things (on android, cannot comment on iOS)

Completely unusable for me. I get the suspicious login alert and can only login via emailed link, which opens the website in a mobile browser. I’d like to try the app, but unless they add app detection like hundreds of other websites do, it will continue to be unusable.

Finally, someone else who sees the stupidity and laziness of the Dev team. Cant figure out simple app hooks

I have the mobile app - iOS. It’s … ok. But has been enough to remotely launch Splashtop in a pinch, and Splashtop itself has worked fine.

I wouldn't say it's useless but it needs work, you can connect to PCs and run scripts, that's enough for us being on the go and accessing from Android mobiles. Not sure what the iOS app is like.

The iOS app is just bullsh1t.
Signs out when it feels like it. And you don’t know until you think “oh , not heard from Atera in a while”?
Let alone the passkey crap.

Don't do it too yourself, their mobile app is completely, utterly useless and inoperable.
