I have an elderly relative with a Samsung tablet. Every so often they have an issue where it would be very handy to be able to remotely log in to their device to,

A. See their screen to be able give instructions and
B. If possible be able to operate the device to fix their issue.

What apps are recommended for this? Preferably free, due to the few times it will be used, but happy to pay, if necessary, providing the app does what's needed.

Have a look at Teamviewer. It says it's free for private use.

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

I also previously used AirDroid from SAND Studios. They also do AirMirror.

I just have Teamviewer on the parents devices - they know to open up Quicksupport and find it works really well each time. Free for personal use.

Thank you @michaelmurfy.

Your reply brings me to my next question. I haven't had time to try any of the options. I'm leaning towards using Teamviewer. Can it or any of the other apps be set up to allow remote log in without the user having to open an app, with the user clicking on a pop up allowing access for that session?
