Maybe it's snow leopard...

Maybe it's Snow Leopard, but this has a *LOT* of trouble connecting to my PC at the office (XP box running RealVNC)...just get a black screen most of the time. Hitting the close widget gives the spinning beach ball requiring a force-quit. At least under Snow Leopard, this is nowhere near ready for prime time, but, hey, it's an alpha version.
Well maintained and respectable application - Version: 0.98.38, 9/2/2009 01:16PM PST

This application has been well maintained as you can see from the number of updates. It seems to be quite stable and has just enough features.
Screen Sharing has been neutered on the OS, Chicken of the VNC is dead and Remote Desktop by Apple is just too bloated (read: expensive) for most users; this app seems to make the most sense for my use right now.
Finally, the application seems to handle all VNC servers that I have attempted to use it with thus far: RealVNC, UltraVNC, TightVNC, bonjour/screen sharing enabled Macs. It has also worked with the Linux-based VNC servers.
P.S. The icon is much improved! Joy! :)

I've been a long time Chicken of the VNC user. That program has always worked quite well, but is slow. JF is significantly faster. Congratulations. The last version had a problem which was a deal breaker, the lack of reliable CRTL key command transmission on Macs (I have a MacBookPro (Intel, 10.5.7) that I use to access my Dual 2.3GHz G5 running OS X 10.4.11). Now that you've fixed the problem, I'm going to give JF an extended try.
One thing I would like to see: the ability to control the rate at which cursor movement at the sides, top, or bottom of the local screen causes the remote screen to move. Currently, it appears that when the cursor reaches a threshold, the remote screen moves entirely the opposite way. This can make it difficult to "fine tune" where you want the cursor to go on the remote screen. One needs to re-orient oneself after each quantum movement. Can you create a slider that allows one to SLOWLY make the remote screen move when the cursor reaches its edges?
Thanks for considering this. Also, I'm a strong supporter of open source software, freeware, and shareware. So, I will be happy to pay once you've reached the fc stage.
Finally, can't send email to jolly@jinx.de. For some reason, I get an error message with the address (SMTP Protocol Error: 550 5.1.1 <Suggestion>... User unknown).

Great Tool - Version: 0.98.24, 6/26/2009 05:53AM PST

I have it tested not for long, but it is fast and looks great. Good work I think.
Great Product - Version: 0.98.24, 6/24/2009 01:46PM PST

Reliable, fast, and with a very nice "smart dynamic scaling" to fit say a large desktop screen onto a smaller laptop screen. Also can do ssh for security. Excellent product.
Best VNC client for Macs - Version: 0.98.20, 6/22/2009 08:34AM PST

When I first discovered this, it was great then builds for last fall through the end of the year were very troublesome. Lots of crashing, memory leaks, and sluggishness, but this most recent version seems to be back in the game. For Mac-to-Mac sharing, Apple's Screen Sharing can't be beat for speed and ease of use (though I need to do the usual hacks to it to get the bonjour browser and other features) but this is again my favorite third party VNC viewer. I especially appreciate the new authentication choices. If you gave up on this, give it another try.
Great app, but needs to handle right mouse button - Version: 0.96.82, 2/3/2009 09:50AM PST
deemery
The only complaint I have is that I wish the right mouse button would send the correct modifier key to the remote machine.
Otherwise, this is a great app, and I strongly recommend it.

Nice app but needs one more option - Version: 0.96.86, 2/3/2009 08:41AM PST

The app needs the option to only view the main display (or perhaps select which display to view) when connecting to a multi-display system.
