Remote desktop apps are not uncommon, particularly given the
increasing display sizes of smartphones and tablets, and last year,
Google introduced Chrome Remote Desktop for Android.
The app, as you might imagine, enables Android users to connect to
their PC or Mac remotely, and so far, has garnered rave reviews from
users. Given the successful release for Android, the Big G has now opted
to deliver the experience to those on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, and
we’ve got all of the details, as well as the download link of Chrome
Remote Desktop for iOS under one roof.
Although it caters to both Windows and OS X, it does require the
Chrome Remote Desktop app that can be found at the Chrome Web Store.
Once you’ve installed it, you’ll be met with an access code that you’ll
then need to punch into the app on your iOS device, and once both device
and computer have been formally introduced, your remote desktop
experience can commence.
Having used the Android edition, it’s safe to say that the iOS
variant is just as impressive. It’s rare that a utility should function
on both platforms flawlessly, with usually one of the two iterations
letting the side down, but given that Google has gone to the trouble of
building Chrome Remote Desktop for iOS in the first place, here’s to
hoping that it’s decent for everyone out there.
We’ve had a little play around on it, and everything seems fairly
slick, and if you like the idea of connecting to your main PC or Mac
remotely, then be sure to give Chrome Remote Desktop a whirl.
Like any remote desktop experience, Chrome Remote Desktop is a great
deal more fluid and functional on a tablet. The display better simulates
a true desktop experience both size and aspect ratio, and so whilst you
can use this app on your iPhone or iPod touch without too much
incident, you’re going to be much more productive on a tablet; in this
case, the iPad.
