iPad Jump Desktop Questions

[NikkiAngel]

I just downloaded and started using Jump Desktop with my iMac and 10th Gen iPad. (I am currently waiting on delivery for my iPP M4 - hurry up UPS!!)

This is helping me come closer to my dreams of using my iPad as a real desktop replacement. The ONLY reason I can’t use my iPad as a true “laptop” is because I need to use ONE spreadsheet that has macros and of course we all know that iPads can‘t run desktop excel. Everything else I do I can certainly do it on my iPad.

I just wanted to know if there were any tips or tricks I should know when using Jump Desktop. Also can you share your connectivity stories, does it always work for you?

I am hoping I would be able to use this configuration when traveling (i.e. on a cruise ship).

Thanks in advance!

Been using it for years with various iPads and Mac minis. Its pretty plug and play, best thing to do is try out the various configs and see what works, and come back with questions if they arise.

Jump Desktop works really well. I can even use it to run my 3D CAD program from my Mac without any lag.

I use a Logitech mouse and the middle butt even works.

I’m looking forward to using it with my new iPad 13.

I figured out a couple of issues so far, but the one I haven’t found is how can I show all open apps on my Mac? Also how can I swipe between desktops that are open on my Mac?

Thanks

I have just loaded Jump Desktop, for iOS, and macOS it is working however I cannot get the sound from my Mac Studio to play on either My iPad pro M4 13 inch or my iPhone 14 pro max. Is there a setting I don't know about given my relative ignorance of macOS, or is this something I need to look at on My iPad, and iPhone?

Bee working great for me with multiple iPads, an iPhone, and multiple Windows machines. I also use it between the Windows machines.

Can someone compare jump desktop through RDP protocol vs their fluid protocol ? thanks.

RDP is only available on Windows. It uses it's own session with an own virtual graphic card. If you want to see what a remote user sees fluid is better, but I am using RDP most of the time...

Same here. I have been using Jump Desktop for years as well. They provided native support for mice before Apple added support. Performance and responsiveness has always been great... even when networks speeds were squirrely.
