In August, Parallels, the productivity app that “appifies” your Mac and PC programs was released for the iPad. After five months, the company has reorganized the subscription model, added full support for additional operating systems, and redesigned the user interface for iOS 7 compatibility. To celebrate the update, an annual subscription to Parallels is on sale for $49.99 for a limited time.
New features include support for OS X Mavericks and Windows 7, 8, and 8.1. The app now offers a single port connection for better compatibility to certain corporate networks. You can now connect up to 10 PC or Mac computers with your Parallels Access, instead of a per-computer subscription.
“People from all walks of life including business travelers, people in professional services and company executives have told us how Parallels Access for iPad has made a difference by letting them get more done from anywhere, so they have more time to focus on what’s most important to them,” said Birger Steen, CEO of Parallels. “Today we are excited to give our Parallels Access customers even more features, languages and subscription options so they can enjoy the full benefits of today’s mobile lifestyle.”
Parallel’s new features include:
Full support for remote computers running Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 as well as Macs running Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion
Localization in 11 languages — In addition to English and German, Parallels Access now supports Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese
iOS 7 redesign — Enjoy the latest iPad OS updates from Apple when you use Parallels Access
Single port connection — Parallels has now made it easier to work within certain corporate networks.
Parallels is available as a free download and comes with a free 14-day trial that can be connected to up to 10 computers. After that, the cost to access Parallels will be $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year (regularly priced at $79). Download it in the App Store today.
