Remote Desktop Mobile for Positive User Reviews

Works AmazingReally easy to setup. Very simple to use and offers all the features I need. So far I've encounter no glitches. 👍.Version: 8.1.34

Excellent!!I am somewhat clumsy when it comes to this sort of software/technology, but was up and running in no time ... I remotelly connect to my work computer via phone, tablet, Mac, and PC desktop with great ease, love it!!!.Version: 8.1.4

Audio ProblemsAudio is constantly cutting out but that doesn't bother me. I tried messing around with games, so I pulled up the keyboard but using WASD or 1234 doesn't do anything :/ But I guess games weren't really why this program was made, so that's understandable. If the audio could be fixed, that'd be awesome! The graphics are very nice and moving the mouse is very smooth. I don't really like that the keyboard takes up half the screen, so maybe add a function to zoom out or something. I understand updates take time and RD Client may not be your main focus, but please work on updates in the future..Version: 10.2.5

Brilliant. Use it every dayI use this app every day to keep tabs on a local plex server. It just works. Always connects without issue, easy to use with a touch screen. No complaints..Version: 10.1.2

Massive improvement in latest updateThe recent (November 2019) update adds a bunch of options and screen size compatibility with newer devices. Glad to see Microsoft is actually working to improve this! I would love to see a way to use RDP Remote Apps without the new workspaces system. On my computer I can enable individual remote apps via RDP, but it appears there’s no way to do this on the iOS version unless you pay for the new (and expensive) Azure Windows Workspace. Hopefully they will eventually add support for traditional RDP remote apps..Version: 10.0.0

Not too shabby! I love it!Works quite well! Comes in very handy when I need to email an attachment from my PC when I’m out and just have my phone in my hand..Version: 10.4.0

Thanks for fixing for new iPads - has stopped working on iPhone 8Now works great on my iPad Air 4, but on my iPhone 8 as soon as you open the app, it says ‘no pcs’ and the app shuts - please help !!! Thank you.Version: 10.2.1

Awesome app!Been using it for bed time coding, and I must say this works really well. Good job!.Version: 10.3.3

Pretty goodTook a bit of effort to set up but works great when done.Version: 10.3.0

Great app!A excellent app where I am able to access all school coursework anytime, anywhere. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone who is looking for a way to work from home..Version: 8.1.41

Good appThe features inside this app are amazing! I can use my iPad anywhere while Remote Desktop on my tablet is turned on! Love this app! Thanks! Disclaimer: Remote Desktop only works with windows 10 and other versions of windows may not suit this app. For your windows version, check the ‘about your PC’ in settings..Version: 8.1.38

Fantastic!What a fantastic app! So easy to setup, easy to use. The only thing I am disappointed with is that it has taken me this long to find it....Version: 8.0.0

Great appThis app has allowed me to get off my desk and out of the office..Version: 8.0.5

Seems to work wellI use it through a gateway and seems to work ok.Version: 8.1.3

Needs optimisation for iPad ProThe app does not yet utilise the full resolution capabilities of the new iPad Pro’s. Otherwise, it does what it needs to do..Version: 8.1.42

Great app for RDP!This app does everything it needs to. It seems like most negative reviews are from people who are expecting this app to do more than what is is made to do. This app is a simple RDP client. Just like on Windows, RDP works best over the local network. If you want to access RDP outside of a local network- there are two main options. By default, RDP operates over port 3389. For access outside of your local network, you must open port 3389 on your firewall. Doing this however, leaves your PC (and any devices on network) vulnerable and is not recommended. The best way in my opinion to access RDP from the internet is to use a VPN (such as OpenVPN) to tunnel into your local network, and access your RDP PCs over their local IP or Hostname..Version: 10.0.3

UsefulnessI really like this app as it gives me smoothness and comfortableness in controlling my PC remotely.Yet, it's better than any other famous apps..Version: 8.0.5

Makes My Life EasieeI work across schools and am forever mucking around in Active Directory, this app finally lets me work from an iPad Pro. The mouse use is a little strange but I’m more of a touch screen guy anyway..Version: 10.0.3

Gets better with every update but still no Touch IDMicrosoft's Remote Desktop Client for iPad has always been a solid (and free) app that made it easy to connect to windows machines. The App had some issues in the beginning but with every update Microsoft has really improved the App and added some neat features. The App is so good now it works nearly flawlessly. The latest release has a great new my Desktop page, and is very responsive to inputs. I would give the app five stars if it weren't for the lack of Touch ID security (it’s very surprising and annoying that this app doesn’t have any security feature to launch it). It’s also limited to Windows machines. Adding Touch ID and the ability to remotely connect to Macs on my network would make this the best Remote Desktop app on the market..Version: 8.1.35

Seems to work. Thank you for making it available to the iOS communityGood news I have 2 iPads and I can disconnect from the pc from one iPad then reconnect from the other iPad. Excellent and most appreciated. I do the Apple store updates and on one iPad Remote Desktop did not update properly. I too had the experience in adding the username or modifying it there was no keyboard. The solution was to delete the app and reinstall it starting over recreating all the profiles again. Lucky for me only 3 computers. Annoying mouse feature. It was on by default, I don’t have a mouse on the iPad. Was able to figure it out. It would be nice to merge the 2 separate areas that you have for editing the setting profiles for the PC. My guess a work in progress. Nice to have mouse control, I have very big thumbs at times. Annoying scroll bubble that locks up and does nothing at times. Tricky to get rid of it. Sometimes toggling the magnifier or the 2 arrow button or the keyboard button. Used for navigation when you magnify. Cannot log into VMware VMs. You can click into the password box and bring up the Remote Desktop keyboard but nothing goes into the box. Touch works just not the keyboard. Thank you Microsoft, I really do like the app and highly recommend it to anyone who has an iPad and needs to control their PC. For me the app is stable does what I need it to do, playing music and watching videos. Thank you for making it free and updating it and providing support..Version: 10.1.0

Thank you so much for the update microsoft!Didn’t have to wait too long for this exciting update. Bought my magic keyboard for the iPad Pro a month or so ago and am now sooo stoked to be able to use it like it was a Mac/pc!! You guys have really turned it around when it comes to caring about your iOS and iPadOS users and they’re wants/needs. Cheers to the new crew in charge and frequent updates! Thanks!.Version: 10.1.0

Needs iOS 16 updatePlease fix bug that won’t allow screen rotation to change from portrait to landscape when accessing a new monitor. Only happened since apples latest update!.Version: 10.4.3

Suggestion for iPhone X SupportAs of writing this review the app isn't optimized for the iPhone X screen yet. What's cool about this app right now although it's not optimized yet is that I can cover both sides of the screen with my hands and it doesn't move the mouse or on my remote PC. Please add some sort of feature that allows the user to disable using the entire screen for moving the mouse cursor on the PC. Although any type of remote control app has reliability issues especially over wireless networks, it's a great app. Keep up the good work..Version: 8.1.42

Use it dailyI would rarely go out of my way to rate an app let alone write a review but had to send some good vibes towards the MS Remote Desktop app. I use it daily from my iPhone for work and personal. Saves me from having to lug around a laptop wherever I go. The trick is to use Mouse Cursor mode instead of Touch, way more functionality with that option. Also zooming in and out is your friend on smaller screens like the iPhone. Highly recommend this tool for IT professionals. I would say it’s my favorite Microsoft utility..Version: 8.1.42

Makes your IPad work just like your PC at the office!Microsoft must have updated this, giving your mouse the same full functionality as you would have working on your PC. This is great! Before the update, you had to drag the pointer with the round dot which really limited how useful this was. They solved the major problem with it so now you have your work PC whenever you pair your ipad with a keyboard and mouse!.Version: 10.2.3

Awesome!Great just great, but I wished it played videos in better quality.Version: 8.1.35

Support for Apple Magic keyboard Function keysI really appreciate the excellent ability of this app to allow the Magic Keyboard gestures , right click , selecting. This is now my no. 1 remote desktop program from my iPad! A great addition will be short cuts created for the Function keys , F1-F9, then my rating will be 5 stars guaranteed!.Version: 10.1.3

Exceeded ExpectationsThis app allowed me to get rid of my work laptop altogether. I now use my iPad Pro to connect to the network remotely when I’m away and for what I need it for it works flawlessly. Connects to the PC environment and my magic keyboard/mouse works just as well as my laptop. The touch screen also works surprisingly well but its much more effective using the keyboard/mouse. Now I can travel lighter. Exceeded my expectations!.Version: 10.3.6

Randomly forgets my passwordI use this app on an iPad and it’s good other than the frustration of it ‘randomly’ forgetting what my stored password is. If they could fix that it would be five stars.Version: 8.1.35

One small complaintThis is probably the best RD app out there. But let’s say I RD my computer, and then lock my phone, and get on my computer. Once I’m on my computer I decide that I want to text someone, so I unlock my phone. The RD immediately logs me out of my computer and frustrates me. If you guys could please make it to where the RD app completely disconnects from my computer when I lock my phone, that would be super nice. I use this app a lot and I tend to log myself out all the time due to it. It would be greatly appreciated..Version: 8.1.42

Works perfectlyFor those who keep complaint about full screen just simply pinch your desired resolution. This app works flawlessly for me and it baffles me how people have problems with it..Version: 10.3.0

Stiill terribleDespite the update, this version is still a giant leap backwards. Still crashes and the change to the right click is still unusable. Restore the old version please!.Version: 10.0.4

Surprisingly smooth and well thought outMicrosoft hasn’t been known in the past for smoothly interoperating with products from other software companies, but their Remote Desktop clients are an exception. Connections are smooth even over LTE and most of the Windows client features and options are available. There are two input methods: a simple tap-based method which works well for UWP apps, and a cursor-based method that more or less uses your phone screen as a trackpad. The input method can be switched with two taps, and the keyboard can be shown with one tap. The only thing I would like to see is a way to access certain keyboard keys that aren’t present on iOS, such as arrow keys. You can open the On-screen Keyboard in Windows, but a virtual keyboard being clicked by a virtual mouse being controlled by a touchscreen becomes pretty laborious to get anything done with..Version: 8.1.38

This is the best Remote Desktop experience if you have anything other than Windows 10 Home!I do think that it could be improved slightly to be able to see text cursors easier. I find it difficult sometimes to find the cursor when inline with text and coupled with the smaller screen size, it does some toll to my eyes. Apart from this little difference, everything is really just perfect..Version: 10.2.5

Knocked it out of the park...Absolutely brilliant...ipad pro with magic keyboard and its better than using a laptop...working in windows on 4 different servers simultaneously...feels native to the ipad...Excel pivot tables and 128GB ram...on an ipad. No loss of functionality, control or clarity. Trackpad and keyboard are a joy to use. And it all fits in the car glove box. Can even tunnel in on 4G remotely using the OpenVpn App in the background. Finally, after 10 years, I can produce something on a ipad rather than only consume..Version: 10.1.0

Issues with VMWare WorkstationThis app is good however there is an issue with VMWare when running a VM and trying to login through this app the keyboard will work for the host pc but not inside the VM..Version: 10.4.0

Great clientPlease add a magic packet WOL option that would be handy.Version: 8.1.6

Only one issue...App works extremely well with latest iOS on 3rd gen iPad Air and i7 laptop with Windows 10 Pro (fully patched)... ...except, no matter the resolution, when a session is active and I move the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen, the whole remote display moves up a couple about a 1/2”, leaving blank/black space at bottom. Does not seem to be case that the screen display is too large, since when I move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen, the whole remote display fits (shifts back down) again. Never had this problem before (I stopped using this app for about a year)..Version: 10.0.7

Only Rated 5 Stars So It Would Stand OutReal Title: This Would Be Amazing If It Worked. I got RemoteDesktop as a way to access my PC remotely. That is what the app is supposed to do, and that is what it failed to do. The setup process was surprisingly easy; And I’m able to connect to my PC without error. However, it’s not actually connected. I only see a picture of my desktop, and am completely unable to interact with it in any way; Not only that, but it doesn’t show any of the apps I had open when I last used my PC, nor does my live wallpaper show up. I am able to glide the mouse around fine, but can’t click on anything. I can’t even highlight the desktop or use my external keyboard. This software would be amazing.. if it worked. Now, I am away from my PC, completely unable to use it, and therefore not able to download a different remote access software. Thanks a lot, Microsoft; Please fix this ASAP..Version: 10.2.5

Works Great - Needs to be updated to accommodate devices with larger screensThis app is great for IT professionals. It works great for accessing any Windows Pro OS that’s listening on TCP port 3389 (it even allows you to use Remote Desktop gateway). If you are NOT an IT professional, this application is most likely not for you - it will obviously work when on the same network, but it will require port forwarding/routing when outside the network (this can be quite dangerous, especially if your workstation is not patched to protect you from the current RDP exploits). My only gripe at the moment is the application does not take advantage of displays larger than that of the iPhone 6+ (the display ratio and size is very small on the iPhone XS, XS Max, 11Pro, etc). This will get my 5 stars when it’s updated..Version: 8.1.42

Needs a fresh lookWhile this app has worked great over the years it could really do with an update! Mainly to support the X/XS Max screen displays..Version: 8.1.42

Software DeveloperI regularly use Remote Desktop from inside my network and outside my network with port forwarding. Primarily for software development. I also use teamviewer since one of my computers has an issue where it will only connect from windows Remote Desktop one time before needing the WiFi card disabled and reenabled. I can tell you that using this on an iPad and iPhone is like having the computer right in front of you. When away, it depends on your network connection speed, but I regularly use windows RDP for work, school, and leisure. If you’re going to use it via port forwarding though, I recommend reviewing your security settings on your router, because it is a risk...but necessary sometimes..Version: 10.0.2

Mouse ProblemsI love this app because now I can do my school work whilst quarantined however I am unable to properly use the mouse without holding on to it. It is extremely frustrating and I hope the Microsoft Team Can Support In Anyway Possible. Besides that no flaws! However in the coming update 10.1.0 it will be compatible!.Version: 10.0.7

IOS 13.1 CRASHINGI have used this app for about a year with no problems until this week where doing anything in the app even after reinstalling it will crash.Version: 8.1.42

Great remote desktop experienceThe latest update as resolved all issues I have previously had with the app. The connection to my seems more stable and responsive. This along with the addition of portrait orientation, has made the app a reliable and quality experience..Version: 10.4.0

Useful app but please help with keyboard issue and split screen!Update, First of all, the Dev feedback so quickly is much appreciated. Even more so is that the issue has already been resolved before the major update coming in December! The RD app no longer takes over all keyboard inputs when using slide over, works just as it should. Thank you very much for the quick resolve to this that helps my workflow go more smoothly! -Brad I’ve got an IPad Pro with attached magic keyboard. I use this app to run a virtual PC for a program for work. With my RD app open, if I have slide over open to type down notes for example, the RD app takes control of the keyboard inputs after about 3 seconds. It used to do this only if I clicked the little keyboard symbol at the top of the RD app but now its each time. I’ve uninstalled and re configured my virtual pc’s but it remained. There have been 2 RD app updates since I’ve noticed it and it keeps occurring. This is very frustrating for some of the tasks I have to complete on this, almost requires me to buy a laptop to be able to actually multitask like I used to a month or so ago. Also, this is more of a wish but please try to configure the app to support true split screen and not just slide over! It would be very helpful if this app could resize the way other apps do but RD app will not resize, stays full screen and says its not supported. Thanks for the useful app!.Version: 10.3.6

Great (nearly)The app is perfect! Easy to use and connects to my pc straight away even on 4G on my iPhone, would be good if it had a built in ability to do magic packets and WOL but still the app itself is great! The only minor is that the connection can drop out a bit every now and then, even when I’m on WiFi on my phone. Bar that it’s great 👌😊.Version: 8.1.41

Works greatIf you don’t understand RDP then don’t use it. Most of the bad reviews are because people don’t know what they’re doing. Use Teamviewer or LogMeIn if you want something easier. Works great for me!!.Version: 8.1.35

Excellent RDP Client, But Not PerfectThis RDP client is excellent. Very smooth and intuitive! Performance and graphics is pretty great. I give it 4-stars because there are two issues that kind of bother me. Issue #1: Once connected to the session, you can’t hide the tool bar at the top. In older versions, you were able to hide it, and it would simply have a small-transparent pulldown to select the keyboard. Now, it cannot be hidden and instead can just slide left or right. If you have a browser open with multiple tabs, the toolbar is big enough to cover one of the tabs. Issue #2: If you’re connected to a session, and you switch apps on the iPhone, when you jump back to Remote Desktop, sometimes the display is messed up. The session will only show half of the screen, or the remote images will tear and essentially won’t refresh and stay partially stuck on the previous image. The only way to correct it is to disconnect from the session and reconnect..Version: 10.1.2

Works as expectedWorks fine for me but would like higher resolution 1600 X 1200 as an option as all my windows get squashed up after using this to connect!.Version: 8.1.36

Latest Update is Amazing, but slight improvements can be madeThe last update makes the whole experience seamless. The only thing I would suggest is for those with compatible mice, there should be a editable tracking speed feature, as the tracking speed for a connected Bluetooth mouse is very small. Maybe even making the mouse-mode more like using a trackpad on a laptop instead of the mouse moving the exact distance as your finger would make the app easier to use as well..Version: 10.0.3

I have windows 10 and a windows 7My windows 10 work but not windows 7.Version: 8.1.42

Amazing App - But Needs VM Keystroke SupportI love this app, it’s amazing, and I use it every single day as my daily driver, but, it doesn’t support keyboard keystrokes into virtual machines inside of a remote session. I know this is because of the way of keyboard entry being utilized, but having the option to change this or support this would really help us IT Admins. I’ve seen this feature requested several times on the RDP Feature Request section on Microsoft Forums. Thank you!!.Version: 10.2.4

Full Screen External Monitor Support PleaseApple will allow full screen external monitor support with Ipados 16, so there is no reason why Microsoft can’t support it now for RD Client. My organisation uses WVD for work from home staff, which I access on my iPad. My current iPad won’t support the new ipados 16 features. So I need help from Microsoft to get a large screen experience, i.e. 1920x1080. It will then be a 5 star review...Version: 10.4.0

Best Remote Desktop connection software out thereI’ve used Remote Desktop extensively and it is smooth, adaptable to multiple device sizes and touch and has great features for the iOS client like the new mouse and trackpad support which works perfectly with my Magic Mouse. Makes the extra cost for Windows 10 Pro well worth it. I wish I could find software for macOS that worked nearly as good..Version: 10.1.0

Getting BetterWould love to see the option to be able to store connections to a Microsoft Account so they’re kept in sync across all my devices..Version: 10.3.6

Amazing RDP ExperienceI’ve used Duet Air, VNC for Mac. I’ve used RD Client for Windows. Windows feels so native with the iPad and Magic Keyboard that I can use the OS and without much lag over WAN. For faster experiences VPN is not recommended but is a safer alternative. For faster connections make a domain controller, add a certificate for authentication to better secure any RDP connection..Version: 10.3.6

GreatElation.Version: 8.0.8

GreatLove the mouse action! Not very customisable but it's still the best because of the mouse mechanism.Version: 8.1.8

The new update is SO MUCH BETTER.Thank you Microsoft for finally updating this app. It's the only app I use for remote desktop and the update was so badly needed..Version: 10.0.2

Works Well Needs QoL ImprovementsIt’s been working fine for me (generally). Obviously requires some setup, but it’s also free and without ads or subscription tiers. The BIGGEST gripe I have, is that it hasn’t been updated to take advantage of iOS16’s full screen support. This would be huge for my workflow as it would allow the best of both worlds (i.e., desktop environments and tablets). I’m hoping to see this rolled out soon as I’d like to avoid moving to a non-MS developed app..Version: 10.4.5

Very useful appThis works really well - never had an issue..Version: 8.0.8

Updated! Finally!Thanks for updating this App to support the 11” Pro. The screen scaling is great, and looks really natural. Input with the onscreen mouse pointer is very smooth and I like the small amount of “roll” to push the mouse pointer around without dragging your finger all over the screen. Very well done. This is very usable to work on the road with the app I use..Version: 10.0.2

Mouse Cursor DesyncCompletely unusable on iPhone 11 Pro Max. The mouse cursor that is displayed is not accurate, and makes the right side of the screen a guessing game for if you're clicking in the right area, and the task bar is completely inaccessible. The same behavior is observed with both the touch controls and the mouse controls. Update: The problem was corrected by changing the resolution. Thank you for the response & resolution..Version: 10.0.4

Good but...Keyboard needs some work like adding arrow keys and how do you right click?.Version: 8.1.41

Works wellNo problems so far.Version: 8.0.8

PLEASE give us the full screen on new iPad Pro 11” !!!The app is great, connections are always responsive and I like the option of touch or cursor. Please though, give us the full screen on the new iPad Pros!.Version: 8.1.42

Flawless connectionConnecting to my workstation PC at home via my iPhone data connection. Works perfectly , no lag. Full screen resolution on my iPad and laptop. Didn’t expect it to work so well. My only issue was with setting up port forwarding on my router. My router uses iPv6 so needed a ‘Pinhole’ set up instead..Version: 10.3.6

Awesome now latest iPhones are properly supported :)Latest update finally brings proper support for the latest iPhones! App works really well, best RDP tool out there imho. Only problem is it keeps asking for blu-tooth access when opening!.Version: 10.0.0

Works flawlesslyI couldn’t be happier. This app somehow makes touch work in Windows better than it works natively. I am connecting to Windows Server 2019 and it’s perfect..Version: 10.2.5

PerfectGood done step by step. Its a real fantastic application.Version: 10.1.0

Works well but would love ultrawide monitor supportThere have definitely been a few bugs along the way but for the most part the App has worked well. One issue that is very frustrating is that when being used with an external monitor, the screen dimensions of the iPad are mirrored instead of adjusting the picture to make use of all of the space of the ultrawide. If this feature was added, it would be a massive leap in terms of usability..Version: 10.2.1

Great for Windows UsersI am using on the same network and it works great. Almost no lag. It adjust the resolution and allow you to copy paste too. It change my mind about buying a surface pro 😎😎.Version: 10.2.0

Port issuesPort issues, if I’m. It in the same area as what I’m connecting too I’m not able to. Great app tho!.Version: 10.1.3

NAT over internetI used to use your app to connect to my home computers, but these days a 4G connection is 100Mb/s faster than ADSL with the tradeoff of being behind a CGNAT. There is no way to connect to my inbound network unless an outbound connection is made first. Maybe the biggest thing that can happen with RDP protocol this year could be introducing a cloud based service to register machines, maintaining the connection so you can compete with the likes of Teamviewer and logmein. I have moved with the times, 5G is the future, there is not enough PIPv4 addresses to go around..Version: 10.0.3

FinallyGreat to see that iPhone X/XS/11 resolution support has finally been added after 3 years. It’s also great to see support for accessing workspaces without having to use a stored account - particularly useful when “ Always prompt for password upon connection policy” has been enabled for the RDS farm..Version: 10.0.3

Does the job very wellMicrosoft has made a great RDP client for iOS. I use it for all of my support needs for my customers overseas and domestic while I'm mobile..Version: 8.1.18

Good app.Been using this app for a number of years now. Always works, does just what I need it to do..Version: 10.0.7

FINALLY GOT AN UPDATEStill no 3D Touch. Taptic touch shouldn’t replace it on iPhone X and below. Developer response: I understand your reasoning but it’s still false to say force touch has been “replaced” on iPhone X, as it still works to use force touch to do all those things you mentioned, with press + hold as an alternative method. It is quicker and less error-prone for users to do a force touch to right-click rather than hold and wait, which is less intuitive and not as efficient. There’s also no haptic feedback so it just doesn’t feel right. Update 3: crashes fixed! But force touch removed?? I see a response that says iOS13 removed force touch but that is false.. it is still supported on iPhone X and right-click was much better with it. Update 2: still crashes twice upon opening.. Update: taking off a star because it crashes a lot now After years of waiting we got the update we were waiting for, and it’s a big one! The app is overall much improved and even supports dark mode. When connected, the display still does not fill the full display of iPhone X with no option to change that. It does use a larger portion of the screen than before though. Overall great update and looking forward to future improvements!.Version: 10.1.0

Use app everyday - one suggestionHave been using this app for years and with every version it has made it easier and easier to manage the full enterprise solely form my iPad (especially with the new trackpad support) Only thing that would make it even better for me would be iCloud saving/ syncing, this will allow me to keep all the remote entires synced across all my devices and whenever I swap to a new device all of my remote desktops will be there ready to go..Version: 10.2.2

Issue Resolving Local Hostnames On VPNHello, there seems to be an issue when being connected to a VPN and trying to connect to a server by supplying the host name instead of the IP address. Supplying the host name works fine at our company’s location, but it appears over VPN it doesn’t resolve the host name. I’m pretty certain this is an issue with iOS 12, as I could replicate it in mobile Safari and it works fine on all other platforms with your client, so I just wanted to bring it to your attention which is why I still gave 5 stars..Version: 8.1.42

Great appHow do I keep it from timing out when switching to another app.Version: 10.3.6

AMAZINGThis app works perfectly if you just download the online client for your PC, it tells you what to do and it does what you want. No lag, but sometimes the controls are quirky. Besides that amazing app!!!.Version: 8.1.16

Changed how I use my iPad and desktopCan’t stress enough how useful this app is for Windows/iPad users. Incredibly easy to set up and use. I use it at work and home. I can access all my servers, even legacy ones. I have a Bluetooth mouse that I pair with my 12.9 iPad. All of the buttons work as they would on my desktop. With a keyboard case my iPad becomes my iPad. I use slide-over for iPad apps. I created Windows VMs on my desktop for my family to connect with their iPads as well. Not for games but there are GPU registry tweaks that allow you to utilize your dedicated GPU hardware for Adobe CC software..Version: 10.3.6

Finally new updateSuch an awesome one finally all the features required took long enough !!!.Version: 10.0.0

FinallyWorks just fine, great app.Version: 8.0.0

One last issue on iPadThe app is becoming great and virtually free of bugs, very happy with this tool. One last thing: the screen of the iPad has unfortunately round corners, whereas computers use right angles displays. The app could correct this weakness of the ipad by ticking an option to ignore pixels in corners. Instead it tries to find the max feasible resolution on the ipad screen to display a rectangle and a good part of the screen is not used because of the corners. I still give 5* to the app because it is a design flaw from the ipad, but it would be amazing if this app could do something to maximize the display! Thanks. Edit: the problem of ipad round corners has been mitigated in options where you can choose to cut corners. many thanks.Version: 10.4.6

Keeps crashingRunning the latest version on latest version of iOS 13.4 but the whole app crashes when I am accessing our servers. Don’t want to remove the App as I will lose all my saved RDP connections..Version: 10.0.6

Great App for quick remote in sessionThis is a great app for those moments and you need to remote into a server while a vacation. Can’t understand all the bad reviews? I’ve been using this app for 2+ years and have had zero issues..Version: 10.3.3

Great app, sometimes freezesI really find this app useful, however it sometimes freezes but usually a quick fix..Version: 8.1.42

The Update We Have Been Waiting For...AlmostJust updated, using the latest iPad Pro 12.9 with Magic Keyboard. I can move the cursor with the trackpad but I can’t click on anything to tap to click on anything, It won’t register the trackpad clicks. I can select, highlight it with the cursor and trackpad and hit Enter on the keyboard but not the trackpad. Minor bug I suspect. Once it is corrected and I have full control and access with the Apple magic keyboard for iPad Pro then it would be the update i have been waiting for... so hurry. :).Version: 10.1.0

Perfect toolAmazing tool that each system admin should have. Very reliable i would definitely recommend it. 5 stars app.Version: 8.1.42

Great app and freeDoes what it says on the tin. It'd be nice if the keyboard popped up automatically when you click a text field (like logmein does) but for free you can't complain. 👍🏻.Version: 8.1.39

Simply ExcellentBest Remote Desktop app I've found. Even paid for one, but the slickness of this one excels..Version: 8.1.27

Grrrrrrrr!I used Remote Desktop every day on my iPad Air. I had to do a full reset due to major problems with the iPad last week, but Remote Desktop wouldn’t re-install. I’ve now discovered it’s because it’s for IOS 13 only now and my iPad can’t update to that as it’s too old. Grrrrrrr! Please can you sort it so that the millions of users who don’t want a new iPad can use it if they have to do the same as me? The other alternatives are no match for Remote Desktop. Update. I had a response from Microsoft who told me to go to the App Store, find my purchase history, and download the older version from there. Thank you Microsoft, I have my beloved Remote Desktop back again!.Version: 8.1.42

Nice- one more featureBe good if we could backup our RDP connections to the cloud so we didn’t have to add them to all devices.Version: 10.3.6

Works Great!It’s too bad so many people are giving this app poor reviews based on things that have nothing to do with the app itself. Yes, you need to have a vpn server in your home network to use outside the network. This is true of all rdp connections. Also, keep in mind your upload bandwidth needs to be sufficient to support the connection. I’m running 3 work stations on my home network with a UniFi controller and a usg with radius server for vpn. My upload speed is about 30mbs. This app lets me flawlessly connect to any computer on my network from anywhere on the planet through an encrypted connection. Oh, and it’s free. Yes, I’m not going to be working on spreadsheets on my iPhone but it is nice to have another way to connect in a pinch. Love it!.Version: 8.1.42

Need to updateI like the simplicity of this Remote Desktop program from Microsoft which does not require to install additional software on the server site. For occasional use, it is sufficient although the features are not as rich as some other program I have used before, including Logmein. I need to access to office desktops with central administration not allowing individuals to install network-traffic programs, so RDP satisfies the requirement. However, keyboard (apple magic keyboard or smarter keyboard) both do not work properly under iPadOS 15.4 RC. In particular, the space key and arrow keys are not working ( space can be inserted by option+space though discovered after random search). Please hurry up and update the app! Overall, it works well enough!.Version: 10.3.6

Great RDP client,Great RDP client, would give it 5 stars when they sort out a few issues. 1. Need to be able to set the resolution of session. 2. Need to be able to store user name with different passwords.Version: 8.1.2

Almost excellentThis is great but I see no way of accessing the second monitor on my windows 10 pc. This is a problem because if a windows app is set to open on the second monitor it is inaccessible from the iOS rd client, and I see no way of shifting it to the first monitor unless I physically access the pc..Version: 10.0.3

SeamlessThis app is seamless for running your home desktop through the LAN or WAN. For anyone trying to do much else than that tempter your expectations here. Much respect to the developers who made this an easy and free process to work remotely from this device. Hats off!! I am currently teleworking and would be bound to my computer by my smart card. Being on my desktop made this kind of a drag. After using this app I can now become a productive member of the household...kinda... Fast integration, easy WAN Setup and touch controls for windows make this a game changer..Version: 10.0.7

Excellent RDP/Terminal Server App - Well Done MSFTI don't leave app feedback often, but my experience has been excellent. Easily configured two profiles for the same terminal, one for when I am on LAN, and one for when I am away from the home desktop on WAN. The "More Data, Higher Resolution" setting makes this app experience as powerful and flawless as the native Windows 10 experience. Not understanding some users issues with the keyboard not hiding when an external keyboard is attached. I am using an Anker external keyboard, and an on-screen keyboard has never inadvertently appeared for me while using the application. Keep it up MSFT. Any others out there running this on iOS 11? I have not upgraded yet on my iPad, and will look to avoid it until I come back and see positive reviews for this app written by iOS 11 users..Version: 8.1.37

Almost perfect not customizable enoughFirst, I have used this for years. It has barely improved, barely any new features in5 years. My biggest gripe though, how do I turn the crosshairs in the middle for moving my screen around? Randomly it goes away if I go to the menu a few times, I even was able to move it a couple of times but not all the time. Most times you push it you just jiggle the screen around, it isn’t like or just moves after long pressing which it should be. there seems to be no way to remove it completely other than not having touch mode on which is useless on an iPad. Let me remove completely the useless crosshairs! If I want it on temporarily (I don’t) you can add it to the menu to be turned on or off!.Version: 10.0.5

Full Mouse SupportThis is hands down one of the best RDP apps for iPad. I'm hoping the developers can now take it one step forward to provide full support for mouse/trackpad gestures. I know you can configure the RDP to use the mouse; however, it only appears to support a left click. The developer responded back that full mouse support will be introduced in May of this year. No changes yet to support scrolling with the mouse wheel, etc. Will there be a third option in the RDP to use all features of the mouse as if it were an RDP app on a PC?.Version: 10.1.2
