While you can refer to Cody’s initial review to know more about how remote screen control works in LogMeIn, I’d like to focus on the new file transfer functionality. Once LogMeIn is up and running on the desktop (constantly communicating with the cloud to monitor your Mac’s status) and installed on your iOS device of choice (I use it more extensively on the iPad than the iPhone), all your available computers will be listed in the app’s main screen. Best of all, once you spend your 30 bucks to purchase LogMeIn Ignition in the App Store, screensharing and file transfer will be offered as free services with no need to buy an additional LogMeIn Pro subscription. Rather, I’ve been intrigued by LogMeIn “file transfer” option added in version 2.0, which aims at offering users a simple way to copy and move files across computers and iOS devices using LogMeIn’s desktop companion. Edovia’s elegant and simple solution to remotely connect to a Mac’s screen has incredibly useful, reliable and easy to configure for me, so I won’t switch over to LogMeIn as far as screensharing is concerned. It’s a matter of a personal preference, and you can read more in my Screens review. LogMeIn comes with VNC functionalities, but I will keep on using Screens for that. Recently, however, I decided to take LogMeIn Ignition for a spin, and I was surprised to find out the new features introduced in the latest update are exactly what I was looking for. That’s what Cody did, whilst I settled with Screens as my go-to app for displaying my Mac’s desktop on iOS devices. ![]() In fact, in spite of popular apps like Edovia Screens and iTeleport allowing users to remotely access their computers’ screens, thousands of users installed LogMeIn’s software for the iPhone (and later, iPad) on day one and never thought of going back to another app. Reviewed a couple of times in the past by our editor Cody Fink, LogMeIn Ignition for iOS has been around for a while in the App Store.
