Use your Windows Phone to remote access your PC with Splashtop 2.

Now with storage in the cloud being so common and free, it was difficult for me to come with a situation where Splashtop 2 would be useful. Splashtop 2 is an app that lets you remotely access a computer to retrieve files you forgot on it using your Windows Phone. The app itself is free for a limited time on the Windows Phone Store. But in order to access your computer, Splashtop Streamer is needed on the computer. The latter is a free software that can be downloaded on Splashtop website. So far so good. But...

...There is always a but. Splashtop 2 is free when you use it to access your computer on the same local network. You are on the couch watching TV and want to remotely access your computer using your Wi-Fi network? No problem. Now, it's another story if you are on the go and forgot a document on your computer and use Splashtop 2 to retrieve it via the internet. This option, while a lifesaver in this case, is not free and requires a monthly subscription costs of $1.99. Of course, your computer must on and accessible. 

So what do you think? Is Splashtop 2 really worth it?
