Broken drag functionThe last update broke the hold to drag function of the rdp connection. It now only functions to right click. I use this feature quite alot and it would be favourable if it was fixed..Version: 10.5.1396

What a messYou gave taken a great app and turned with the latest update. The tool bar is now hidden so you can't get the mouse keypad etc. This was by far and away the best rdp now it is totally useless. It's that bad I would rather not give it a star rating at all but you have to so I guess it's a one star.........Version: 14.1.3484

Keybrd problemsThis latest keybrd upd prevents me from using it when I Remote Desktop into my IBM 5250 emulation screen. When I tap the keys on the key board, nothing appears. No characters or numbers. The cursor doesn't even move. This all occurred on or after the update. Other than that, it's fine. Could use another update to correct this please..Version: 11.0.1845

Update broken compatibilityWould have been nice to have a heads up that this app would break for those of us using ApplicationServer versions below 9.0. This app is now useless. On iOS with automatic updates I now have no way of going back to the older (still functional) version..Version: 11.0.1845

Bad keyboardNew version fixed windows 2012 issues but major turn for the negative. The keyboard is like oh my god!!!! Where did you find that keyboard layout. I won't even start on where the heck is the colon?!?!?!?!! Plus the screen sensitivity is off some things you can finger select others like closing out of screens with the X in the corner don't respond and you have to use the virtual mouse Down to 2 stars and probably switching to the Microsoft client..Version: 11.1.2064

Wonderful applicationSome serious issues with iOS 8, like the disconnect button has stopped working. Hopefully an update is forthcoming!.Version: 12.0.2168

Maybe an IT person can get this to runBut I can't. Emailed 2X for help but what they sent only told me what to do if the installation worked, nary a peep about what to try if it didn't. They also assume that you know what all the acronyms mean. Frankly, they assume you know enough about this product to get by without any help or instruction. I can install operating systems and build rudimentary networks but I can't get 2X to run. Presumably a more sophisticated user can make this work but 2X is probably not for most of us..Version: 10.1.1256

Not workingLatest update iOS not working, grey bar along bottom with no controls. Please fix.....Version: 14.1.3377

Lates iOS killed this appApp now will not connect correctly to any rdp session screen goes portrait even when set landscape and the disconnect button does not work please fix asap feels like my right arm has been cut off without this awesome app at full function.Version: 12.0.2168

Updated App CrashThe old app is a great app. I downloaded the upgrade and it crashes when trying to connect to the server. Apparently, the SERVER software version needs to be updated too for this upgrade to work. No where in the update information is this mentioned! Fortunately, I was able to find the old app still in iTunes and downgrade back to the working version. It would have been nice to have known this would crash beforehand!!.Version: 10.1.1204

Worked great until the latest upgradePanning went horribly wrong. It used to be that the auto-show of the keyboard worked great. Now it just pops up when I click on anything like links and no longer just in text boxes. When I push the screen up (panning), it automatically goes wwwaaayy up...every time. Can't use this app anymore because it's almost impossible to keep the screen where it needs to be..Version: 14.0.3245

Terrible KeyboardI use 2X RDP Client quite often, and while I do like it, I cannot stand the custom keyboard. It would be great if we were given the option to use the 2X or the standard iOS keyboard..Version: 12.0.2304

Huh..?!?I may be thicker than a whale omelette, but I could not make head nor tail of this - and I've been in IT 22 years. Tried installing in Windows 7. I think it clashed with Skype (which I need) and it all went downhill from there..Version: 10.0.1124

Keyboard is hopelessWorks well for what I need it for, and prior to this update I would have given it 5 stars. The new update with the modified keyboard is a hindrance. The non-iOS keyboard layout makes it extremely confusing when almost all other apps use a native iOS layout. Typing anything tonight has taken me about 3 times as long since the update..Version: 11.1.2035

Oh dear...!I'm afraid this release is unusable. Only half the screen available and can't progress beyond this point..Version: 12.0.2168

Doesn't work with apple keyboardAs above. attempt to connect to Windows 2008R2 terminal server client, attempt to enter login details with the apple bluetooth keyboard, and nothing is received. major deal breaker. the keyboard works in other apps, in fact I'm using it to type this review..Version: 10.1.1256

Another pretty mediocre RDP clientOn the iPad it's ok. Native resolution support, but you still have to scroll vertically because of the tool bar. No full screen mode either. And when you use the pointer you end up scrolling if you move to the far right of the screen. On the iPhone 4 it is rubbish. No native resolution support and it always connects zoomed x 2. Since there's no mouse mode you're often forced to use the pointer for accuracy, but then you're having to scroll horizontally again. But it's free. Contrast that to Jaadu RDP (£15) and iTap (£6.99), but have few UI issues, support ALL resolutions, great mouse mode (though no iPad version in Jaadu yet) RDP is an essential tool in my job and this doesn't cut it on the iPhone - passable on the iPad. On the other hand I can do complex jobs easily using Jaadu RDP on the iPhone or iTap..Version: 9.0.1034

Lots of glitchesI used to have very few issues with this app but recently it has LOTS of glitches and is difficult to use..Version: 12.0.2168

Basic RDCWirks but Pocket cloud is way better, that has a mouse and sets resolution to the iPhone!.Version: 10.0.1124

No longer worksI have had no problems with 2x up until now, I have no idea how to fix it but it no longer fits my screen, I have to scroll, rotate, scroll and rotate over and over again to get any work done I was told by my IT department it is a issue with the app and there is nothing I can do on my end to fix this ? Is this my preferences that are set up incorrectly or is this really the apps issue? Please help..Version: 12.0.2168

Previously good, now TERRIBLE!As others have stated, this app used to be really good but since the update it is useless, keyboard does not work, you cannot click on anything and on the iphone it keeps getting stuck on one section of the page. I shall be uninstalling this now!.Version: 11.1.2064

Can't use grey clipboard bar blocking keyboard??Up til now I've used this app really well now can't do anything as grey bar blocking the keyboard. When will this be fixed??.Version: 14.1.3484

Update broken compatibility!I have same problem as last reviewer. Can you please make previous version available or make new version compatible..Version: 11.0.1845

Last update- iOS clipboard bar issuesIOS clipboard bar now superimposes over the apps task bar at the bottom if the clipboard has any content. This wasn't the case earlier..Version: 14.1.3484

Latest version not workingLikewise-since the last update all my RDP connections don't work. Even a reinstall of the app didn't fix it. 2x please fix as it was a great app..Version: 10.1.1256

Update RequiredThere has been a significant loss of functionality following the update to 8..Version: 12.0.2168

What a disaster - app ruined by sloppy upgradeYou have taken a brilliant RDP app and made it unusable in the latest "upgrade" by making all the tools disappear so that there is no mouse or keyboard available to use on tge connected site any more. A beautiful app is now totally useless on my ipad. On using the developer's website there is nowhere to report the disaster!.Version: 14.1.3484

Update on keyboardWell I have used this app for years and loved it, but the new keyboard layout is a nightmare .. Hard to use and everything In the wrong place for speed.. Hate it now .. Looking for a different app because of it ! ;0(.Version: 11.1.2035

You've killed a great appThe changes you made to keyboard layout and functionality have destroyed what was a fantastic app. Have been using 2x with no issues for years. The old adage applies, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! Can we please have the old keyboard back, or at least an option to use "keyboard classic". Thanks.Version: 11.1.2064

Doesn't seem to work with RDPI've tried quite a few RDP apps which work great, but this one doesn't seem to connect to any of my machines using RDP mode which others have also mentioned. Dissapointing.Version: 10.1.1256

Oh dearCan't get the virtual mouse is up on the November update. This was the best Remote Desktop client I'd tried, now it's as much use as a dead frog. I am due to demonstrate this tomorrow at work, but it has been ruined. I also can't do my work on my iPad so I'll have to use Remote Desktop on my smaller phone. Not happy..Version: 14.1.3484

Problems after ios8 updateSince iOS8 update the app doesn't work properly. Can't get full screen and keyboard disappears in landscape. NEEDS FIXING ASAP..Version: 12.0.2168

Disables Windows Sound Driver!Not a bad RDP client, but for the fact that it disables the sound on the host computer. For this reason alone, I cannot/will not use it. I am quite surprised that 2x has not addressed this issue, because it has been brought up here and on their own forums. If they fix this issue in the future, this would be the client I would choose..Version: 10.1.1256

Superb app BUT...This was a great app, giving me reliable work access on the move. BUT the latest update has rendered the keyboard almost unusable for any sort of typing. PLEASE revert the keyboard back..Version: 11.1.2064

Doesn't work with windows 8Works perfectly on win2003, win2008 and windows 7, but does not authenticate with windows 8 and thus you cannot login. This was my favourite RDP client for iPad, but since we have upgraded to windows 8 at office and home it's now unusable :-(.Version: 10.5.1396

OK, but...Works OK with older versions of Windows but not Win8. Spent ages trying to get it to work, thinking I had the settings wrong. Switched to another app and it worked fine. 2x should make it clear they don't have it working with Win8.Version: 10.1.1256

Problems after upgrading to iOS 8App no longer displays correctly in landscape mode and cannot disconnect sessions..Version: 12.0.2168

The last update just made it worseThe last update took away voice to text and made it harder to scroll around on the screen. I document my medical notes on the server so it just significantly made my job harder. You shouldn't put in a keyboard that's different from other apps, it just makes typing slower because you can't trust natural reactions for where buttons are. You have to think about every move..Version: 11.1.2035

Controls geatBut caused my sound card device to disappear :( - I want to control my jukebox pc from the deck but this app doesn't have a setting to not break sound device.Version: 10.0.1124

Keyboard won't stay up on iPadWhile the app does connect well, I've found it unusable since the keyboard won't stay up for more then a split second. This makes entering text impossible and therefore just about anything I'd need the 2x setup unavailable. This is at least been my experience on an iPad mini. It's a functionality bug. If this were fixed this would be a 4-5 star app..Version: 10.6.1522

Doesn't workUseless app that doesn't work. Just endlessly reports network error..Version: 10.1.1256

2X ClientThis was great until I downloaded the update on the 7th of May, now I cannot access it..Version: 10.1.1256

Needs updatingUsed this app frequently. It does not work with iOS 11.Version: 15.0.3883

Hate the new lookNew keyboard layout is terrible. Also where's is the @ key?.Version: 11.1.2035

Update Breaks Connectivity to Older 2X Gateway ServersThis current version does not allow connections to older (Version 8) 2X Gateway Servers. If you update you may lose ALL functionaltiy. I contacted support and their solution was to upgrade the 2X server. I manage the servers, and this is a VERY LARGE undertaking and must be tested extensively before it can be implemented in production. I work for a hospital and our systems need to be up 24\7, so a major upgrade like this takes a lot of planning and time, there is no "Quick Fix!" It is a shame that many of our users have updated this app and now cannot use it at all! DO NOT UPDATE!!.Version: 10.1.1204

Does not work with Windows 8Latest version of 2X client does not work, with Windows 8 64 bit..Version: 10.1.1256

Needs an updateWas a good app, but doesn't work with windows 8. Works well with server 2008 and lower..Version: 10.1.1256
