100 Percent Free Anytime, Anywhere Access Now Available From
Premier App Developer
WOBURN, Mass., Dec. 22, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn (Nasdaq:LOGM)
just unveiled a free mobile app to bring its signature remote desktop
capabilities to even more iPads and iPhones. Featuring the same remote
access experience that made LogMeIn Ignition the top grossing 3rd party
iPad app of 20101, the new app lets any iOS owner remotely view, access
and control their PCs or Macs from their iPad or iPhone. It works with
LogMeIn's flagship free remote access offering, LogMeIn Free, giving
iOS users unlimited free mobile access to their remote computers,
anywhere with an internet connection.
Building on the success of its highly popular mobile app, LogMeIn
Ignition, the new LogMeIn for iPad/iPhone app is the latest move by
LogMeIn to bring its cloud-based, essential remote services to new
audiences through feature-rich free offerings.
"Mobile devices, most notably the iPad, have given rise to an entirely
new audience looking to remotely access their computer files and
applications on the go. Not surprisingly, mobile has become an
increasingly important driver for introducing new people to LogMeIn's
services, and we believe we're just scratching the surface of this
growing demand," said Michael Simon, president and CEO of LogMeIn. "By
combining our mobile and free service strengths, we can bring the
benefits of top-shelf remote access to virtually anyone and everyone
with an iPhone or iPad."
iPad and iPhone owners can take advantage of the remote access
capabilities by simply downloading the free app from the Apple App
Store and then installing LogMeIn Free on any PC or Mac which they wish
to access. Users also have the option of upgrading to an all new
version of LogMeIn Pro, LogMeIn's premium remote access software, and
enjoy additional remote access capabilities.
LogMeIn Free users can:
-- Access an unlimited number of PCs and Macs from their iOS devices
(iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) through a highly secure yet simple
connection (AES 256-bit encryption, SSL/TLS intrusion detection)
-- Remotely view and control their PCs and Macs as if the device were in
their hands
-- Run their computer-based business applications like Salesforce,
Microsoft Office, Quickbooks, etc. on their iOS device
-- View important files and other important information stored on a remote
computer from anywhere with a WiFi or 3G connection
LogMeIn Pro users get all the benefits and capabilities of LogMeIn
Free, plus:
-- NEW: High Definition (HD) remote control, optimized for streaming video
and audio content from their PCs to their iOS devices (Mac HD streaming
is planned for early 2012)
-- Cloud storage integration to quickly and seamlessly view, copy, transfer
and save files between iOS devices, personal or work computers, and
popular cloud services (e.g. Dropbox, Google Docs)
-- File Management: Copy, move, and save files or folders from remote
computers directly onto the iPad, iPhone or iPod touch for offline
viewing
A version of the new LogMeIn app for Android smartphones and tablets is
planned for 2012.
For Ignition Customers:
LogMeIn will keep Ignition for iPad/iPhone in the Apple App Store to
support existing Ignition customers, and has updated the app to include
HD remote control (and HD streaming) from their computers to their iOS
device. These new capabilities, as well as the app's existing premium
features are available to Ignition users at no additional cost and do
not require LogMeIn Pro subscriptions.
