  • Genius

    I love this app as it is iPhone friendly AND is the only free one that actually uses Window's RDP session instead of downloading a program and using valuable system resources. My only complaint is that it's a bit hard to mouse click on edge of screen.. As for the pebkac issues being reported; Windows XP Home will NOT work with this app as Remote Desktop is NOT a part of the Home edition. This means that the developer is not a penny pincher - you are.

  • Ful Featured Lite Version

    Wow...Great job Mochasoft. This took 2 mins to setup, and does what it says. If you want to test out the remote desktop applications, without having to pay descent money, give this a try. A little laggy on the iPhone 3g, but we are down 128mb ram on the 3gs users.
  • Awesome!!!

    This app works great (lite version). I use it on a regalur basis. I have connected locally with no problem and remotely via external wifi and 3G. version.

    My only complaint and would give the app 5 stars if it supported 128-bit encryption or higher. Currently, the app supports 40-bit only. This is OK while internally connected on my private network but not to safe externally. Hope to see this in future updates especially in the full version (paid).

    The app works so good that I purchased the full version...see full version for my review.

  • Great BUT ...

    This app does exactly what it should ... remote desktop home from anywhere, my only confusion is not understanding any difference to why this is free and there is a paid version, i don't yet see what the paid version has, does this free version have too much?
  • It works!

    Just as long as you realize you have to be on the SAME network as your PC, this app does exactly what it says it does! You CANNOT be 500 miles from home and expect to connect to your PC unless you have a public IP address for it (why would you???!?). If your office has Wi-Fi and you can connect to it with your iPhone, then you could access your office computer and check to see if an email has arrived while you're in a meeting.

  • Works well

    Works just as expected, a word to the less informed - you need to have at least the professional edition of windows. Also make sure you can actually connect from a PC client before assuming this app does not work. It will not work with the cheap home versions of windows which is probably what most computers run. If you have some skill you can hack home editions to support RDP.

  •  Works! 

    I was able to connect to my 64 bit Windows 7 computer in under 5 minutes.

    Also, if you want to be able to connect over a 3G network you need to log into your router and set up forwarding to your computer for port 3389. Once that is done you use the app to connect to your router's external IP address and port 3389. That will allow you to connect to your computer.

    More detailed instructions (with pictures for those who do not want to read ) are available on the developers site.

  • Works great, though has some minor annoyances

    If you have the right OS and have it configured properly for remote desktop, then this app will work fine

    To those who say this is a bad app because it's not usable with any "home" OSs, this is NOT this app's fault, you will have the same limitation if you were to use the actual client program installed on every Windows OS XP and up, therefore it is MICROSOFT'S FAULT, you have a problem with it? Bring it up with Microsoft, therefore of you know what you are doing (and admit it, the majority of you don't), and everything is set up properly (and it took me a while to set up, even when I have had previous experience using remote desktop on the past), then it will work fine, so if it doesn't work, it is because YOU are doing something wrong, so if you need to, look up some information on remote desktop or terminal services and you may be able to make it work

    Now for the reason I rated this 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 out of 5, there is a lack of dragging support, because of the zooming and panning support, so if you attempt to drag something, you will end up panning instead, this will make it impossible to do things like play solitaire or copying or moving files by dragging, but if you don't need to do any dragging on this app, then this app is for you

  • It's a FREE App Folks!

    This App does what it says it does. Why people whine about a useful and free app is beyond me. It has worked great for me. I have successfully connected my VPN and used it across a normal VPN connection. So what it doesn't have VPN built in, it didn't claim to have it. I am disappointed that the purchased version still doesn't have gateway support but overall this is an excellent App for the money you pay. Great job MochaSoft!

  • Doesn't work with home edition

    Probably why a lot of people are saying it doesn't work.
