Splashtop (Remote Desktop App) - Standard $1.93 / HD $4.84 [Android]

30

Hey people, it's been at least 1 week since we've seen a Splashtop bargain, so why not?!

As mentioned previously, an older standard edition version is free on GetJar here. There's been a few reasonable updates to the current market/play version which might make it worth the upgrade for some. eg. Google account linking, no need to play around manually updating or entering IP addresses.

  • how does this compare to teamviewer?

    • Different kettle of fish. TeamVieweris primarily a support based app. Splashtop is a streaming app. This app is amazing for it's compression and on the fly encoding. You can happily stream full stream video+sound on a reasonable 3G connection.

      Check out their product website for more details.

      • ahh ok. So its kinda like Slingbox…for PC's?

        • Yeah, except no additional hardware required! ;)

  • do get some updates from getjar… not sure if i get them all?

    • simple - check the software version from getjar and check the version from play store (1.6.5.6 currently).

      Getjar will not do auto update, but they do have updated versions (not instantly like play store, after a week or so) if developer provides.

  • Unless something has changed, this app uses a plaintext password for authentication, so it's fine to use over a single network (ie at home over Wifi), but probably not something you want to be using over the internet.

    You can also use the Steamer software (free) and a desktop app (free) to access other PCs on your network. I use it to access my headless media server from my main PC.

  • Thanks got one so I can update torrents, Usenet and schedual TV show recordings while away from home

    • I thought you could do torrents anyway, Micro torrent and Bot torrent have Android apps already that allow remote scheduling.

    • You're probably better off using something like teamviewer. Free for non commercial use and much more secure.
