It's 2017 and a lot of info on this is pretty dated. I've heard TeamViewer can, then it seems like it can only control your app.

Anyway I got my parents an iPad for Xmas. They know nothing about computers. I need something I can use to remote in and help them (preferably free). If I have to set up a vpn and host some kind of software it's not a big deal. Since they don't have a computer I can not use QuickTime. It has to be one click easy for them.

    Remote into an iPad, that's not happening, blame Apple for their design philosophy

    You'd be amazed how little remote support an iDevice needs. I swapped my 80+ year-old parents from a WinXP machine to 2 iPads 2 iPhones & an iMac. I used to have to remote into the XP machine about once a week, I've not needed to remote to the iDevices once in 2 years. A quick poke around everything every 6 months or so when I go over there [4000 miles] is sufficient.
