PC2Me

I love this app, it's my fav app and I've had it for awhile now!

UPDATE-I've now been using this app for three years and I absolutely love it. Customer service has been great for me. The app works consistently. I can hardly believe the negative reviews. This is one of my most-used apps. Well worth the price. ------------------------------ By far one of the most useful apps on my iPhone. There have also been several significant updates to this app in the time I've had it installed, and each one has delivered a significantly improved experience (and it was already quite good). So the developers seem responsive and always working on improving the app. I can do just about anything on my home PC from my iPhone whether over wifi or 3G. (It does work over Edge but as with any data or graphic-intensive app you will notice a significant lag, but if you need to do something you can. I'm speaking about the desktop control specifically here). The latest update (v3.0.0) has some big improvements - with the new menu style, it is now easier to instantly access files and play music remotely. The streaming music quality from your home pc library is stellar over wifi. Like most audio, it's not quite as crystal clear over 3G but it still sounds quite good. This last update says that they have made improvements to the audio feature and I do think that it sounds better over 3G now, although it does still run into some buffering issues at least where I tested it. If you plan to use this app to stream audio from your home library, then I would plan to use that feature mostly over wifi. One thing I really love is that you can even download and install or update programs remotely! That is a great feature if you'd rather not do time-intensive software updates while you're at home--with this app you can do that from anywhere. You can even configure the server program to auto-start when the computer starts up so it will be up and running again if you are doing remote software updates that require you to reboot your computer several times. This is a HUGE timesaver for things like Windows updates if you are on a PC. The desktop server download is easy to figure out and set up, and you can even set it up on multiple home computers although it will only run actively on one at a time. (I believe they may have an additional add-on feature if you want to run multiples at once on their website but I don't need that feature so I haven't investigated. I do know they have an option for multiple monitors but I'm not sure how that's different). But if one day you want to run it off your laptop at home and another day off a desktop at home, it's no problem switching between the two. If the computers are on the same network the desktop server will auto-detect the other computer running the pc2me program, automatically log that computer out, and run it on the other computer and you'll be able to connect. It couldn't be simpler to switch, which could be a nice feature for families or if you have a "work" and "play" computer at home. Here is where I would like to give them a huge kudos for customer service - with the last update to their desktop server software, I ran into a problem getting my iPhone app to connect my computer even though it appeared to be running normally. Both my laptop and desktop PCs are more than 4 years old and run Windows XP and prior to this last update I've had no problems. I sent them email in the evening and the next morning I got a personal phone call from their support team that helped me resolve the issue within just a few minutes. I have also used their website chat support once to ask some questions about how the app server works and had a great experience that time as well. Their customer support is really fast, friendly, and accessible and that alone to me is of huge value, especially if this is an app/service you plan to use a lot. If you are not much of a "computer person" I cannot recommend this app highly enough. Even if you are, you will likely appreciate the ease and simplicity of this app. The company seems very dedicated to both providing excellent customer service and continually improving their product. Whether you want to control your computer remotely by using the desktop control, access documents, or if you want to stream your music or video library to your phone, you will not be disappointed. This app is amazingly versatile and incredibly useful.

5 star support. 5 Star intuitive Application. This is how it should be done! Congrats!!
