aSPICE: Secure SPICE Client

Discover the power of aSPICE, a secure, open-source SPICE and SSH Remote Desktop solution designed for QEMU KVM virtual machines. Whether you're on iOS or macOS, you can now access aSPICE on your device through the aSPICE Pro app, available at this link. By purchasing the donation version, aSPICE Pro, you not only enhance your experience but also support the ongoing development of GPL open-source software. If you encounter any issues, please use the "Send email" feature in Google Play to report them directly to me before leaving a review.

Stay updated with the latest enhancements by checking the release notes at this GitHub link. For those interested in older versions or looking to report bugs, visit the releases page and the issues section on GitHub, respectively. If you have questions, feel free to engage with the community on our forum at this link instead of posting them in a review.

Don't miss out on bVNC, my VNC Viewer, available at Google Play. If you're experiencing issues with your mouse pointer synchronization, consider using the "Simulated Touchpad" input mode or enhance your setup by adding an "EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine. To do this, follow these steps:

• If using virt-manager, navigate to View->Details, then select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
• If running your virtual machine via the command-line, include an option like: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0".
