Parallels Access for Android and iOS is available now with a two-week trial period.

With Parallels Access, you can tap into up to five desktop computers from an unlimited amount of mobile devices. On the desktop side, you’ll need OS X Lion 10.7 or later, or Windows 7 or later. Parallels says that Access supports “most” Android devices, but doesn’t mention any specifics in that area. On the hardware front, you’ll need an iPad mini, an iPad 2 ,or an iPhone 4S or later. Your mobile device needs to be running iOS 7, or Android 4.0 or later. There are some OS requirements for Parallels Access that you should be aware of. “With this in mind, Parallels Access enables people to interact with full-featured Mac and PC apps with touch gestures just like the apps were made for their iPhone, iPad or Android device.” “While traditional remote desktop products are trying to show a large desktop on a small mobile device, we worked hard to make remote access from mobile devices a truly simple and effective experience,” Jack Zubarev, president of Parallels said. Also, any microphone-centric features built into your desktop programs will also be usable from Parallels Access via your iPad’s and iPhone’s built in mic, though it’s unclear whether that functionality is available for the Android version of the software. They include Facebook login integration, the ability to open desktop apps with one tap from the Android home screen, a new file browser for iOS devices, and the ability to switch between different screen resolutions.

On top of increased compatibility with a wider range of mobile devices, this new update to Parallels Access also brings some new features to the app. Parallels Access, a mobile app that, to this point, allowed you to access your PC or Mac from your iPad, is now compatible with the iPhone, as well as Android devices, Parallels announced. This makes it poor value compared to a free app such as LogMeIn for iOS, which we think is a much better and equally capable option. You’re charged per year for use, and you must buy a subscription for each computer to which you connect. Desktop apps still look like Desktop apps and Access does little to overcome the limitations of using them on a small touchscreen display. One option is to launch Parallels Desktop on the Mac remotely, followed by the appropriate virtual machine the other is to use Parallel’s Desktop option to add virtual Windows applications to the OS X Taskbar, then to the Access Launch Pad.Īccess is a slick app, but it doesn’t present desktop apps well enough on the iPad’s screen. Access lacks this feature, so accessing virtual machines isn’t so simple.

In the meantime, the easiest fix is to put Access in Desktop mode so that it mirrors the entire Mac Desktop, including the taskbar.Īccess replaces an earlier Parallels app called Mobile, which treated any Parallels Desktop virtual machine as a remote computer. This is known issue, and Parallels says it’ll be fixed in the next update of the app. The task-switch button on Access’s floating toolbar worked normally in older versions of OS X but had no effect in Mavericks. Annoyingly the current version of Access doesn’t let you switch between running apps in OS X Mavericks.
