Tap it twice, and a Splashtop toolbar appears with options to access the Hints Control Bar, enable a mouse cursor, lock the screen rotation, display navigation keys, and sever the connection. Tap it once, and a virtual keyboard pops up. The app gives Windows 8 full run of your iPad's screen except for a small icon in the lower right. You can swipe from the right to open the Charms bar, swipe from the left to switch between open apps, pull down to close an app, and pinch to zoom in or out of the screen. But otherwise you can wander around on your own, using the same touch-based gestures that you'd normally use on a Windows 8 device. The Windows 8 remote session then pops up on your iPad.Ī small onscreen Hints Control Bar offers tips on how to use the app.
Tap the name of your PC you wish to control and enter your security code. Launching the app on your tablet then scans your local network for any PCs running the Streamer software. The Streamer prompts you to enter a security code so only you can access your PC from your iPad. You then download and install the free Splashtop Streamer client software on your Windows 8 PC so it can talk to the iPad.
You first install the Win8 Metro Testbed app on your iPad, where for some reason it gets renamed Splashtop Win8.
