TeamViewer Remote Control

Michael Snead

TeamViewer is a good product in a lot of ways, but I have two things against it which make it nearly unacceptable. I use it to look at my home PC. Many times I have been locked out because TeamViewer suspects commercial use. This makes it unreliable and frustrating. The other problem is that it leaves a message in the middle of the screen when the session ends, which, if I am recording the screen, there is no way to move it away from being there. I wish that aspect was configurable.

Newer versions have been much better about not having components of the app in the way on the screen. I love auto hide feature for the session list cut the client too. I just wish it wouldn't wipe my connection and password list on every update. Fortunately I only ever use it to connect to one pc on my local network, so it's not too annoying. Also, it doesn't handle swipe input at all well, duplicating words. Other than that, great app.

I've used TeamViewer to remotely control laptops and phones off mine for years and have only ever had a few minor issues signing in. I appreciate that they don't charge anything if it's for personal use, and don't limit the functionality. While I'm not speaking as someone who uses or needs remote access often the times I have it was very important, and TeamViewer has never let me down.

Works well for what I need it for, that being remote aceess to my own PC. There's noticable latecy on the partner's end, yet it doesn't seem to affect accuracy of cursor position. I do wish there were more you could tinker with in the settings to make it better for poor-wifi settings, as is the case in my house sometimes.

I love it, I just have one problem. I only use this for personal purposes but every so often one of my computers gets flagged for behavior consistent with business use and it gets booted from the system. In the past I was able to get it restored but the last time I requested this I was rejected. Otherwise it's absolutely flawless!

I've used the PC TeamViewer software at work with a license and for helping family members with the free edition. The app is now really useful. The only issue I had (but might need more practice) was being able to zoom in and then move around the desktop of the remote PC.

I used to use this to periodically check on my computer from my phone all the time such as if I got a game running or software installing and now I can't even do that without getting a free lesson has ended and have to go back to the computer within the hour to reset a new password to reconnect. There is no real purpose for use for me anymore if that's all that's offered is a quick simple task and after reading the nightmares about people's horror story's with subscriptions, no thanks...
