Customer feedback

4.4

1,111 ratings left in the portal. 210 comments reproduced below.

Customers are asked to rate Rent a Mac from 1 to 5 stars and say what worked and what did not. The form lives inside the customer portal, so unlike Google and Trustpilot only paying customers can reach it, which is why it is the largest sample here by a wide margin.

Most of these ratings are collected at cancellation, when someone is closing their rental. That makes this the harshest of the three sources and the one where the average sits lowest. A lot of them are people telling us why they are leaving. We would rather show that than quietly leave it out.

App development is too finicky when trying to pair to mac via Visual Studio, also couldn't get usb over the network to stay connected when hooking up iphone, probably an intention of Apple. Everything worked great otherwise, much much better than MacinCloud

I needed to test things out on a Mac for my software deployment. Everything works beautifully with you guys!!! Very good work on your side.

f*******@t-online.de

Den Dienst brauche ich nur einen Tag. Daher habe ich auch die verhältnismäßig teure Option von 15$ pro Tag gewählt, um nach einem Tag wieder kündigen zu können. - Gleichzeitig ist diese Möglichkeit der Grund, weshalb ich mich für Rent a Mac entschieden habe.

Like it but cant afforad too expensive

a*@e*********a.com

Don't ever force someone to select a star rating in order to cancel their subscription or you'll wind up with a lot of one stars that would have been null instead.

l*************@gmail.com

p***@n*******p.tech

No KVM is a deal breaker and downgrades reliability very much while blocks me from encrypting the mac.

i want to install xcode, but my apple developer account cant access and tried to reset but need to wait another day or two.

s************@gmail.com

Price is too high

x*****@gmail.com

Good service all in all but Deskin is limiting me to 30 fps and very low quality, would've preferred something else.

x*******@gmail.com

Lo quería para jugar a League of Legends, pero está el MAC Flaggeado tiene un baneo de HWID y no he podido ni jugar sinceramente.

d********@hotmail.com

macOS recognized my signing identities, but Xcode consistently failed to detect them. I spent considerable time clearing DerivedData, resetting provisioning profiles, restarting taskgated, reinstalling signing assets, and following all recommended steps. The issue persisted across all three sessions, indicating a limitation or corruption in the signing subsystem of the rented environments rather than any issue with my configuration.

z***********@gmail.com

its great!

k**********@gmail.com

It was the best option for my uni project, I was able to work any time I want to. I will definiately recommend using rentamac for my friends.

z**************@gmail.com

r*************@gmail.com

Expensive

b***@m*********r.co

Pricing could be better

p*******@gmail.com

should allow ssh tunneling for easier management

m************@proton.me

just taking a pause for now

c*********@hotmail.com

The experience was flawless, but the price is high for sporadic usage like the one I need

d**********@gmail.com

just send the password by email and make it temporary and force a change. too much time wasted on that when getting started.

Amazing experience, used windows my hole life and using mac for 1 day really showed me how crazy it is, its very amazing and damn

t************@gmail.com

Harika bir deneyimdi benim için. Kullanımı ve satın alındığı anda anında deskin bağlantısı sunmanız harika bayıldım. İşlerimi 1 günde halledebildiğim için aboneliğimi iptal ediyorum. Tekrardan mac kullanımı gerektiğinde kesinlikle sizlerle çalışıcam tekrardan. Emeğinize sağlık harikaydı benim için kolaylıkla tüm işlerimi hallettim.

Trouble/Limitations running Xcode

k*************@gmail.com

Me ha encantado, me ha servido para salvar un proyecto de la universidad. Es una pena que no se pueda pillar por horas para casos como estos, o que no haya un plan para estudiantes. Un poco cara para nosotros que no ganamos ni un duro, pero asequible para programadores senior (seguramente).

p**********@gmail.com

just needed it for school

it works great, best of services of mac rent etc... but right now i need to finish web project before run app version, so i will be back soon we will be ready to go.

e********@proton.me

The service was great, a bit unfortunate that without a DeskIn subscription the streaming resolution was very low, but I understand that's not really in your hands. Overall I'm very happy with the service, especially the fact the machine was immediately available after the payment. I ended up buying a MacBook, so cancelling my subscription has nothing to do with the service itself. Also the customer support was very nice and responsive. Thank you!

s********************@gmail.com

Great

Will use any other day, the experience was good, would be better if the connection remains stable and quality is better, I also had to purchase standard subscription of Deskin, which is a shitty app so that was not a good thing

Too far

l*******@a*******s.com

I had some problems... First of all, I thought anydesk was the default method of connecting, but after I paid I learned that I had to use DeskIn, a software that is not available on Linux. Then after I finished my subscription, the system tried to bill another day of payment, even after I already cancelled the subscription - very sketchy. The actual mac worked pretty well after I managed to setup rustdesk

z*******@protonmail.com

I just needed a Mac to setup my kids accounts and family sharing. They are getting iPads for Christmas. I really hope you destroy these instances and my data remains safe. Excellent experience (I'm not a Mac user obviously). This was just what I needed to make Christmas morning easier.

s******@gmail.com

Very fast performance, low ping, no limit. I have tried a couple of services that offer cloud renting But this is by far the best value-for-money.

j*******@gmail.com

This is a very cool service. I was using this because I have time machine backups and there is a game I have been working on. My daughter spilled water on my mac and that is in for repairs. I am trying (hopefully will have access) to open my time machine backups (500+Gb) over network so I can get the most recent files to continue development. Again, this is a very cool service and it was smooth and fast.
