LogMeIn Ignition for iPhone

image LogMeIn Ignition allows you to connect to and control your desktop computers just like if you were sitting in right front of them.  The iPhone App works over any network connection, faster is obviously better, and is very easy to use.

With this software, you can:

  • grab a file you forgot to take home
  • start processes remotely
  • show pictures from a remote computer
  • logout or shutdown a computer
  • check to see if you have a song in a remote iTunes library

After downloading, simply enter your credentials and you’ll be presented with of a list of computers where LogMeIn is installed and ready for action.  If you haven’t installed LogMeIn on a desktop computer, you obviously won’t have any available destinations.

If you haven’t tried the desktop software, you’re in for a treat.  The basic screen sharing is free and I’ve used it for years.  The service is fast and just works.  I’ve been able to connect in every network configuration I’ve tried, including firewall and double-NAT situations.

The iPhone software is pricey at $29.99, but considering how much I’ve used the free desktop sofware and the fact that there are no monthly fees, it’s worth it.
