Definetely requires GMAIL! 2 Stars for effort and the work it probably took, BUT..
It says it doesnt require a GMAIL account. Well that might be true if you know something about remote connections and if you are prabably thinking of using this app its because it seems easy and dont really know much. However, like me and I would think the others that actually are looking for an app that helps with this process, are not familiar with remote connections; thus you will be require to actually USE you GMAIL account with the free iTeleporterConnect software they provide at their website. This is necessary, as the support correspondant replied to me, in order to keep updating an IP that is not static and thus being able to connect your saved computer through iTeleport and some other settings.
The app looks amazing, but sincerely, the fact that at the end of it I DO have to USE my GMAIL account (something I did NOT want to do) is disappointing. Especially since they state ir is "not requiered". They are right, its not, if you know how to use all the proper settings (address, port, protocol, security, encryption, SSH username/password, etc..). One more thing, their "manual" instructions and procedure for you to setup iTeleport without iTeleporterConnect guide you through steps on how to create a No-IP account somewhere and download their client (another thing I DONT want, are you kidding me, I bought an app that works not so that I could go and download other software).
I tried to use it manually, but failed. I have no clue how to setup a connection with all those settings. I dont want to use the Gmail account so it has basically become useless.
I emailed support, after they replied regarding not using the gmail and iTeleporterConnect, for additional help and instructions on how use the settings properly in order to connect but they NEVER replied.
Really wish I could have made use of this app. As of now, it just sits there. If you dont mind using your Gmail, then youll probably love this app. It looks amazing, but I couldnt tell you since I have not been able to use it.
Hope it saves others who dont know much about remote access connections and think they will get an easy-to-use, no Gmail, remote access app their money.
UPDATE: STILL NOT ABLE TO CONNECT AFTER MONTHS!
Im pretty avid with computers, and I have been reluctant in using my gmail credentials to use this app. HOWEVER, I have not been able to set-up connections without it so it has been USELESS! VERY SAD! I was hoping to use this app.
