Leave a Review Remote Desktop
Finally got it working
Took me a few days to work this out... But if you get the "host has closed session" message AND you have disabled your firewall and can't rule anything else out. The problem is the activation of your remote settings in windows 7. (right click my computer, properties, remote settings)
There are 3 options under "remote desktop"
One is don't allow any connections
Another is allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure)
And the third is Allow connections only from computers running remote desktop with network level authentication (which was the option I had)
You actually need to select the second option for this to work

Works great
Works right out of the box. No problems for me.Calgary Caveman
Great app!
I only wanted the app to be able to check my work email at any time. I already use the remote desktop on my laptop, so after entering the same info as on my laptop, it instantly connected and I was able to access my email. Although I haven't tried anything besides the email, it looks like I shouldn't have any problems. It looks exactly like it does when using the remote desktop on my laptop. After reading the other reviews, I agree that people should try to research what info needs to be entered before giving it a negative review. Great app, and it was free, so really worth trying out.Show lesscaliray
Works Well on Win 7 (64)
It does work well but not without some research on your part. For Windows machines that support Remote Desktop, you must turn on this feature or you will never be able to connect. As with most Windows computers, this process is not intuitive. I had to Google the info by searching for "turn on Windows Remote Desktop." There are instructions (HELP) available on the RDP website but these do not go far enough for a novice to be able to make sense of them. Those icons you see in the screenshots evoke the keyboard, bring up a menu that includes disconnect and center/resize the guest screen on the iPad. A double tap on this icon will lock the screen in place so that you can use a slider bar without sliding the entire screen. It is very exciting to see your remote computer completely accessible on your iPad. A fantastic value for the price.Show lessnkinney
Work Great I Love it Now I have my computer in the Palm of my hands
This is great you get full access to your computer. You surf the web everything its like I have my compute at my finger tips (literally). This will be useful once I go back to college best it the best app ever. I just hope people figure out how to use it before they bash it with negative comments it's only took me a few google searchs and I was set up in no time. Great App my favorite thus far!Show lessoneMike1
Fantastic
I've been using this app on my iPhone for the last two years and have never had any problems. It's great being able to access my PC from anywhere. It is even better on the iPad, which prompted me to buy the full version (support the developers people!)reckless_inoz
Only colsole rdp
Can't work out if there is a way to connect to a true remote session to servers. It seems to only connect to the console so anyone logged on has to be booted off. From what I can see there is no option for remote console session.
Would buy if the full version allowed remote sessions and console sessions, but there is no mention of this in the, what extra does it have, details.Show lessChris124563789
It does what it says on the tin
You need XP Pro, vista or 7 to use this. I can connect wifi or 3G and view open my home PC, There is a bit of messing with the ports but the software web site is pretty good at explaining how to do it. I have been able to switch on and off web cam on home computer and view it real time, find correspondence on my home computer when out. Many other great benefits. Great free app, I’m going to pay for the full one.Show lessNo 1 Braid
Works great
Alot of people don't have a clue what they have. This app works great if configured properly. Also your home ISP must support outside or remote connections, in some areas I know TWC doesn't allow any outside IP addresses to be accessed or any open ports. Talk to your ISP before whining. And for the home users, Microsoft didn't put the proper application with that version of windows to do any remote connections you need to use a 3rd party software on the desktop to access it.Show lessBafsc
Better than iTapRDP and Desktop Connect
It is definitely a better application than Desktop Connect, which is too slow for typing while connected via Desktop, and iTapRDP which does not work with physical keyboard. I've not been able to define a custom resolution in portrait mode. If I could do that I'll uninstall the two other (paid) applications that I've already purchased. This one is fast and works reliably.Show lessWadood Chaudhary
