LogMeIn Ignition - is anyone using it on their iPad?

From their web page:
With one touch, you can directly control all of your computers from your iPad or iPhone. It’s anywhere, anytime access to everything on your PC or Mac – all your files, applications and desktops – right at your fingertips.

Yes-it works pretty much as advertised. We use LogmeIn at work for connecting on the road to both PCs and Macs-the iPad version is pretty well done.

I've also heard great things about Screens-apparently it's even more intuitive navigating on the iPad-but haven't tried it yet.

I actually thought I would use LogmeIn a lot when I first got my iPad-I thought I would be accessing my Mac from the comfort of the couch

But really, the stuff I thought I would need Logmein for I end up doing on the iPad itself (email, checking PDFs, etc..).

Yes, I use it nearly every day to access my home system while at work and to connect to my den computer when in my bedroom four flights up. I use it primarily to access my media server and to get connected to a remote Linode via NX, which doesn't run on the iPad yet.

I haven't had any problems with it and it performs far better than VNC.

Thanks (all) for the info and comments.

As an alternate, Teamviewer on the iPad works well.

The great feature for me: It's working via 3G as well, without any fiddling with my router. I often access some Excel-Sheets from my home-archive while on the road.
