Leave a Review Remote Desktop
Perfect remote desktop app for iPad
As an IT guy, I highly recommend this app for anyone who uses an iPad and needs to connect via RDP. Connects to anything from WinXP to Win Svr 2008 R2. This is an awesome remote admin tool. I must caution those of you who want to try to "work" on that remote desktop; it's a little clunky for that. I suppose the paid version would improve that experience. Also, before I downloaded this app I read all of the 1 star comments and noticed that most were from people that were having other issues beyond this app. For example, not knowing their IP or not knowing how to enable remote desktop on the remote machine. Seriously, if you can't figure that out, then you need to call in an IT pro or cousin or something before you slam an app.Show lessryansumstad
Pretty good for a FREE rdp app.
The setup was easy. Just download and install the RealVCN software from their website then install the app. That was it (it's two steps of you already know your wireless ip address and have set up your settings). It connected right away for me.
The screen resolution could go higher but that's ok. My only gripe is that when you zoom out to show the whole screen there's a boundary of grey outside your pc screen. If they could fix that to show only the screen when you zoom out, that'd be great.
Overall, I don't think the 3 stars does this app justice. It desrves 4 stars.Show lessWOAHnina
Stumped
Look this might be a stupid question, but seriously how do i get this thing to work. I've put in all the ip adress and evrything i need to on the my ipod touch. But it says that it cant connect.... is there something else i need to download and if so where do i go to download it?Wolverine95
Wish Jaadu RDP came in an iPad flavour
...as this pales in comparison. I am either missing something or MochaSoft (or whatever their name is) wants me to pay to drag the mouse, right click anything, or use keyboard modifier keys (control and alt to be specific). Of course, this is a guess since the help is the most poorly designed bin of rubbish I've ever seen on an iDevice. Of course, you may not even get to witness this disastrous attempt at a help section because once inside a session, if you had turned on the shake-to-hide feature for the ugly and nondescript buttons cluttering up the bottom of the screen, they have a habit of never coming back. This may be construed as being a good thing, lest your eyes melt any more than they already have from the teal, blurry, compression-artifact-ridden horror of it all, however this bug forces you to restart the entire application and session just to get the (modifier-free!) keyboard back.
Miscellaneous niggles section:
Horrible UI, theres no reason we can't show the user the buggy saved connection list right away, as opposed to making them tap a large, gaudy, out of place image of a button (one I'd imagine seeing more often on a fake virus scanning website than a iPad app).
Slow connection: my iPod touch 1G with Jaadu performs faster than this program on an iPad (yes, same network), doesn't quite make sense...
Keyboard doesn't automatically slide the screen up with it-nine times out of ten I end up with the text field I'm typing into obscured by the keyboard I'm typing on. Even if I manually pull the screen up, typing is a pain since there appears to be a mandatory ~3 second lag on each letter, regardless of the connection speed otherwise.
Suffice to say, I'm glad this application came in a lite version, I certainly won't be buying the full edition after this experience.Show lessriafpc
Great application
Looking at previous reviews, it looks like the limitations are those of the machine being connected to. I use remote desktop all the time and once I had loaded this app, it worked first time, was fast and very simple to set up.
Further to the comments above, those who are having problems, check your firewall. You could also check connecting from another pc to the remote machine first to check that the remote machine is set up correctly. Great application.. Highly recommended.Show lessthebooths
Real tool for admins
Great program, especially for the price... If you know anything about the remote desktop protocol, then you are laughing as hard as I am about the idiots leaving bad reviews because they can't connect to their home pcs with home editions of windows. Read the reviews from people who know how a program like this should work, and believe me when i say it works exactly as it should. This program works the exact same as if you were logging in on a windows machine to a desktop that has the ability to connect remotely. I use this for our servers and several desktops in my company and couldn't be happier. Very pleased. Thank you so much for such a great app for free!Show lessRedvolvodavid
Mr
To all the people rating this great app 1 star:
1. It will not work with any other versions of windows that are not professional. Don't blame the app, this is because Microsoft only include the rdp protocol with these versions of the is.
2. If you can't find out your ip address then this app is not for you.
Otherwise this app is great. Despite the description stating that it does not work with win server, I use it to connect to one of our Windows server 2008 R2 standard web servers everyday.
One annoying thing is that I can only get it to work with ip addressees not dns names even though the rdp client in windows 7 works like a dream but that is not such a big deal.
All in all this app is amazing as it is free but I will be upgrading to the pro version as miss my right click!Show lessMacole111
Awesome App!
Seriously, this app works perfectly on my PC on Windows XP. Now I know I can use my PC anywhere there's wi-fi!
Although the screen is a bit laggy when I drag anything, it's a perfect companion for my soon to be clamcase. I can convince my friends that apple released a touchscreen notebook, assuming I skin Windows XP.
The only complaint I have is that I want all the mouse functions. I am not spending 6 dollars just to be able to right click or scroll, and get all of these features I don't need like another keyboard.Show lessJk981205
Saved my skin
I just used this app in conjunction with the Cisco VPN that's built into iOS to save my skin during a potentially expensive incident. Instead it cost me $0 because I was able to connect to my infrastructure and do what I needed to do quickly. With that in mind I have paid for the full version because what I just accomplished with this app was worth WAY more than $6. Many thanks to the developer for making a reliable, easy to use, FREE remote desktop app!Show lessWarzauWynn
Works fine
I always read bad reviews not good ones cause maybe the company owners or marketing firm writes those. Call me jaded lol But most of the 280 negative reviews sounded like people just don't know how to use VPN &/or Remote desktop connections. I installed the "lite" version cuz what the heck, it's free, rt?
In under 5 minutes I was logged in and working - I activated my VPN FIRST, then booted up remote desktop. I'm logging into a remote server for work so the computer I'm logging into is already set to accept remote connections (important note! Lol). I input the "IP Address" (which in my case was more like a URL than IP address). My user name & password & it worked immediately. No problem.
Maybe me detailing my steps will help others. All & all, it worked & easy setup if you've done remote connections & know what it's asking. Now - does it crash? Lose my settings? Etc..? Can't say. I just used it once so far (hence 4 stars not5) but so far so good! :)Show lessOnly1True Kaye
