Cost: Free | Developer: LogMeIn | Platform: iPhone and iPad | Version 3.0.720 | 13.3 MB | 3.0+

LogMeIn has recently unveiled another mobile app to bring remote desktop capabilities to iPads and iPhones. The new app enables you to remotely view, access and control your PCs or Macs from your iOS device over Wi-Fi or 3G.

You can simply download the free app from the Apple App Store and install LogMeIn Free on any PC or Mac which you wish to access.

The app allows you to run computer-based applications such as Salesforce, Microsoft Office, Quickbooks, etc. on your own iOS devices.

You also have the option of upgrading to an all new version of LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn’s premium remote access software, for added benefits such as HD remote control, file management and Cloud storage integration. LogMeIn Pro is available for $41.99 per year through in-app introductory pricing. A similar version of the new LogMeIn app for Android smartphones and tablets is planned for 2012.

This app was reviewed on an iPhone 4. Pros: Provides you with remote access to your desktop via an Internet connection.

Cons: Have to subscribe for added functionalities.

Verdict: A free alternative to LogMeIn’s Ignition app – who doesn’t want it?
