Comments and Reviews
For the Mac version (v10), it does not support native DPI scaling, which is a dealbreaker. Even if you have the DPI set on the Windows machine, it will be ignored and defaults to 100%. As a result, fonts and GUI are extremely tiny on an external monitor 1920x1080.
THISS IS BULL CRAP AND ITS TRUE IT DOESENT EVEN WORK HTTPS://APPONFLY.COM IS EVEN BETTER THAN THIS
As a free alternative you may also want to try remote desktop by AEROADMIN.
Hope this helps
