TeamViewer is another app that allows remote access to your computer from your Android device, but also allows you to remotely connect to others’ computers to allow you to help your friends and family with their computer problems.
The Good
Setup for TeamViewer is its strongest point: all you need to do is download the app on your phone, download the application on your PC, setup a password, and use the password to login via your phone. It is extremely simple. There isn’t much lag time between your android app and what you see on your computer screen. File transfers are quick and painless, and accessing computers that are behind firewalls is also painless. There are also NO ads!
The Bad
There’s not a lot of bad with TeamViewer, but there is one noticeable flaw: the way you right click. With most other remote access apps, you double tap your phone to right click, but with TeamViewer, you tap and hold, which isn’t as responsive as it should be.
The Ugly Truth
TeamViewer is easily the best remote control app for Android. Accessing your computer, as well as your friends’ computers, is a breeze. No setup headaches, a fast response rate, and the fact that it is free without ads make TeamViewer a winner.
