doesn't accept all character in user name

I tried this out for the first time today and when attempting to log into a non critical PC the app would not seem to type all the correct characters of the user name. I would try to type administrator and the screen would not type the last "r" so it looked like this "aadministrato" . Don't know why it typed the char. "a" at the start of the line but as soon as you get to the 12th character it seems to place an "a" for each char. typed at the start of the name. VNC worked like a charm but having difficulty with this. It really has potential! Al we need now is a cisco vpn! Bill

Not exactly fair to compare a FREE app to one that costs $12

Ok folks, what part of free don't you get. The darn thing is FREE. Sure there is another competitive product available, and I happen to own it. But guess what not only is it not free but they don't even offer a free "light" version. At least the people at MochaSoft offer a limited feature version of their product so you can get an idea of what the full paid version is like. I purchased WinAdmin when it was the only RDP client available, and guess what it isn't perfect either (shocker). Don't forget that the cost of WinAdmin is DOUBLE that of the full MochaSoft RDP client.

No vista support

I've been waiting for one of these, but it's not much good to me with 3 vista machines. Also and I know this is probably because it's the free version but it only stores 2 hosts it would be nice to have more like the vnc app. Oh and sound support would be nice.

Unbelievable! I love it!!

I have been waiting for this app since I purchased the new IPhone. They also have a paid version that offers other features. It does work with XP and Server 2K3. Work with vista, does anything work with Vista...sorry does Vista work with anything? Awesome Job MochaSoft! No extra third party apps on the server or workstations needed, no web client to install; just allow the remote connections on the PC\Server (woohoo), and viola your desktop with a wonderful app called RDP Lite.

Superb!

Absolutely incredible! I was getting really annoyed with all those other apps that make you register your server and user details on a web page which then acts as proxy to connect you. This one is brilliant - worked instantly! Update: There is nothing confusing about using it - you enter the ip address and credentials and connect - if you cannot do that then you shouldnt be using it at all! For you to grade it poorly because of that is just sad. As for VNC - well VNC requires you to have VNC server installed on the host - this app DOES NOT - it works with Microsofts RDP which is already on the target machine (Win XP). Once again - brilliant! Surprisingly responsive with EDGE too. Great job!

An RDP App that Works!

I was impressed to see that this app installed first time, without a hitch. More than that it also allowed users to specify a port number to connect to (which I thought may have been a problem). This app is a solid little RDP client that I look forward to testing even more in antipation of the full version coming out. I recommend that anyone who's been waiting for an RDP app for the iPhone download this app today.

Looking really promising.. but buggy

I've had the same problem, I was using it for 5 minutes and then it locked my phone in a hard crash. But I'm looking forward to the next release as this is a small killer app for me. Thanks

Serious system error.?!

App looks great and connected fine, but caused errors with my windows. I have now removed the user account I had created for remote connection and my system looks ok now. I followed the setup info on the website, but the error report screen always on top while connected, I had a very poor expierience. I will take any tips as I would really like this to work!

Ok for Limited Use

After using RDP Lite, I can say that WinAdmin is currently a better choice for regular use. If you only need to access a server every once and a while, this free app will do. It's main flaw is the interface. Like MochaSoft's VNC apps, RDP Lite also relies on an interface where you switch mouse modes. The first mode moves you around the screen. The second mode is the mouse on the remote desktop. The switching back and forth becomes a pain. I prefer WinAdmins tap commands which are easy to learn and increases the usability. However, this one is free! So you have nothing to lose by trying it out. Version 1.0
