Not that I use them anymore anyway, cancelling my old account, but name and shame any companies who conveniently can’t support their free base. Also - it’s VNC. It’s a protocol. There’s a dozen free clients out there.

Before it got enshittified with an update a few years ago, I used the RealVNC Android app to connect to a few of my own VNC servers. Wasn’t interested in any of the fancy features, I just wanted a good VNC app.

Now I use AVNC. It’s solid, performs better than RealVNC used to, and it’s open source! You can get it on FDroid.

Thanks for the recommendation, only thing keeping me on RealVNC Android was the better UI 🙏
