Needless to say LogMeIn’s Ignition iPad app has been released for a while and a slew of positive reviews posted in the iTunes store (see the link above) somewhat counterbalances the app’s steep price ($29.99).

I’ve been using it for a couple of months right now – I am pretty happy with it even though I find the interface a bit clunky. Come on Citrix, let’s see what you have up your sleeve…

LogMeIn (LMI) Ignition has been one of my favorite iPhone apps for quite some time. The iPhone version works fine on the iPad but the graphics quality not very good. Needless to say I was very happy to see a LMI press release announcing a full fledged iPad version of the product.

The app itself is elegant, fast and stable – it allows you to control any remote machine (mac/win/linux) that has a LMI client installed. While the price is a bit steep ($30) – the fact that the service is free of charge makes the LMI remote machine control look more attractive than gotomypc/Citrix Online ($20/mo) or Cisco’s PCNow/Webex ($10).

Finally, if you already have the iPhone version of LogMeIn, the iPad version should be free of charge (I need to test this statement though)…

In a press release about the iPad and its $29.99 app, LogMeIn said, “Now available in the iTunes App store, the latest update of LogMeIn Ignition includes full support for the Apple iPad, providing iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users with complete access to their office and home computers, including Windows-based PCs and Macs.”
