I love the ScreenConnect software on the desktop but the iPad App does not share this love.

I have been comparing the app to other RDP based apps and there are many features that the SC app needs to be competitive with these alternatives. Here is a list of things I think would make the App more friendly and usable.

1. Integrate Windows keys such as the Cursor, Page Up, Page Down, CTRL and F Keys and other in the keyboard.
2. Use gestures to bring up the keyboard (in Jump, for example, you use a 3 finger swipe).
3. Emulate a laptop touchpad on the iPad screen so that a tap is a click, double-tap is a double-click, tap-tap-hold is a drag, tap+hold is a right click. This would be much better than taping the mouse, choose what you want to do and then choose what button.

This would make most of the SC experience on an iPad very useful. Right now I feel the app is just barely usable for emergency cases when there is no laptop connection.

I understand that moving the toolbox to the server is in the works. When that happens, please oh please add the Toolbox to the ipad app. I would love to be able to start my automated tuneup script from my ipad (without having to resort to bit.ly shortcuts and junk just to work around it)

I like everything submitted, what is currently in the iOS client was released as a first stab at getting something out there and we were waiting to get feedback and information from customers about what worked and what didn't. Our development model is always to not over think or over engineer to start, keep it very simple and make sure it can be scaled. But all of our ideas are good and hopefully we can make some/most of them available in an upcoming release.
