That is the most common question I see (it's been asked on reddit a lot, too). It is similar. One of the main differences is that Shynk works over mobile networks, not just over wifi. This lets Shynk provide other functionality, too. e.g. sharing files publicly and connection tunneling.

As I continue working on Shynk, you'll see their feature sets diverge a little more. I'd like to implement some more features that take advantage of the fact that Shynk uses the public internet.

As for the screenshots: they're not too beautiful, but the app itself is a pretty minimal part. After you log in, you should be able to forget about the app and just use the website's interface.
