IT technicians have a rigorous schedule every day. Not only do they run pillar to post solving issues of internal or external customers, they also are expected to solve issues remotely.

Hey! As years have passed, is it possible to take control of an ipad yet?
Hey Joe Glad you asked it. We're about to release Zoho Assist - Customer App for iOS. You can view the remote iPad or iPhone screen with the app though you cannot control it due to the limitations set by Apple.
Great product so far. I like that it compresses graphics automatically, it keeps the speed very high, and the latency very low. My only suggestion would be to have a user friendly name that doesn't change (and it would prompt me to allow a client to connect?, instead of a 9 digit number, that always changes. Generally clients would prefer to just have an icon that they click (should always start elevated - UAC), and that way we don't have to wait for an email (which is slow), and they can always be linked to me directly, so no need to read a 9 digit # from / to either party, the first time, or for any subsequent session. Great product though. I really like the price, best free app, seriously.
Thanks for the detailed feedback and suggestions Mike. We'll certainly consider the possibilities of incorporating them.
How is remote support for Android and iOS coming? Most folks do not have iOS because Apple is so restrictive so only screen capture but not true remote control. Others do have Android and Blackberry remote control. TeamViewer, Bombgar and LogMeIn Rescue have the above capability but very expensive and have to buy base package and then add on Mobile support. Basically works out to $200 a month but some require upfront payment. Lots of room for competition here as you probably know. Would be very helpful in general for IT support as well as for Zoho Consultants like myself.
Thanks a lot for the comment. I agree Pete. The market is hot and there is a high demand for an app which is affordable without compromising the remote support quality. Our app is under development and you can expect the release pretty soon.
Any chance Android will be supported for assist sessions ? Would be nice to connect and support from an Android device. Noticed last year mention of it potentially being developed ...
Android app is yet to be developed due to certain other priorities Ryan. I'll let you know once the beta is ready. But, you can start a remote support session from any browser in your Android mobile as Zoho Assist Technician Console is completely web-based. Do give it a try.
Love the new setup, but PLEASE make it compatible with User Account Control!!! I hate making customers sit by the computer while I am remoted in, but I have to so they can click yes or no!
Hey Eric, did you check Zoho Assist recently? UAC compatibility is in place for quite some time and it is working perfectly. Kindly conduct a test session and if there are any issues, please reach our support team at support@zohoassist.com or click 'Help Me!' in the Technician Console to reach us live.
we wondered when the app will allow you to take control of an ipad?
Thanks for asking. We do have plans to develop apps that take control and troubleshoot iPad and Android devices. It will take some time though due to our current priorities. Keep watching this space for updates.
Great news, looking forward to an Android version.
Thanks Richard. It may be taken in to development soon.
