Perfect for my needs, just needs a reset input menu bar button, for when you fling the bar off screen and then can't get it back without clearing the app & cache for the app. **EDIT after Dev responce** Perfect, option found and fixed my issue !

Hi James, there are a couple of ways to get that toolbar back. (A) If your device rotates, you can just rotate it and the toolbar will pop back into view. (B) If your device doesn't rotate, you can edit your connection, tap Advanced Settings and un-check the "Restore Toolbar Position". Upon connecting the toolbar position will be reset.

The app does exactly what it should and the developer is very responsive. I am using it to view a Raspberry Pi on my Google TV.

I need to know colour depth and view only settings before I connect, not what the screenshot was. I now have to long press, then press edit to get back to where I used to be upon opening the app, then Show, to get to where I need to be. For me, the new screenshot list is an added pain. However, I appreciate the continued development to my favourite VNC app :)

Well, that is hardly something to complain about. Here is how you use the new app - you make 3 connections, and you put in the nickname what each one is for. Say you have 24bpp, rw, 24bpp, ro, and 8bpp, ro. Then, you launch the app, use the search to enter rw and you'll see the two rw connections. Type ro and you'll see the ro connection. Cheers!
