What they say

If it’s on your computer, it’s in the palm of your hand. Remotely access computers from your Android device, and never worry about leaving anything behind. Directly control your Mac or PC, all your apps and all your files – with a simple click.
First of all, let me say that I have deliberated long and hard about whether to feature this app. Why? Because I think it's a bit expensive. BUT... it' also brilliant.
If like me you provide 'family tech support', or you just want to be able to remote control machines without worrying about firewalls, NAT setup or such... then LogMeIn is for you. It might be a little expensive on Android, but the main service has an awesome FREE version. I have about 15 machines in my LogMeIn console that I can support in a click... it's a real lifesaver.
