Brilliant except for one thing...

All our clients use RDP as the basis for accessing their Terminal Server and this is by far the best app on the iPhone and especially the iPad.

However... we have all been waiting for them to sort out the apple keyboard. The developers simply don't listen! We have been asking for full support for the bluetooth apple keyboard for over 12 months and NOTHING has been done about it. The keyboard works ok, however the "extra" keys, like Esc, Tab, Backspace, arrows, Shift, Ctrl simply don't work. The developer offers the onscreen iOS extra keyboard, why, when the keys are on the keyboard.

Spoils an otherwise brilliant app. Also agree with previous note, don't lock the shift key down, release after one and stay consistent with every other App on the planet. Use the Caps-Lock on the external keyboard, oops, forgot you don't like using any extra keys!!

Nearly well done. Typing this review was much easier, using the Apple BT keyboard, than using the same keyboard within the app.

Well done!

Always room to improve, but covers all the basics and more. Making the screen fit the window would be most welcome and clicking with fingers more precise, but there are obvious and understandable limitations of the devices. I am sure we'll soon have a great solution at hand. I work on remote db's all the time and this has made my life much easier and now I can move more freely! Thanks!!

Great Apps! Thx for keeping Free! I use it very often!

Sweet

IT set my iPad up to test out remote apps and this one is top notch. Connection speed is quick, screen refresh rate high, offers zoom capabilities as well as mouse pad sensor, short cut keys and control-alt-delete...
I've been able to connect randomly throughout the day with no glitches personally experienced. I'm in, do it then go.
Keep in mind, an iPad is not yet a PC replacement, the fluidity of a PC is much quicker; nevertheless, having the iPad has made it much more interesting to work remotely.

Great app

Now I can just leave my laptop docked, and bring my iPad to whatever meetings I need to go to. Plus, with the VPN, I can get updates from home. The only problem is some buttons are so small, I have to zoom in just so that I click the scroll button, and not the close button. That's a minor inconvenience ... The only reason I don't give it 5 stars. Great job!

Serious problem!!

I downloaded hahacoonect as instructed and it filled my pc with spam, pop ups. Ended up restoring pc to an earlier point. Not happy!

Not impressed

Ok

Remote desktop

Works well, bit hard to see on a iPhone screen, maybe good on a iPad.

I do recommend

Faster than Mocha, even when/where Internet signal is poor.
Low side is that the free version allows only one server access. Others out there (including Mocha) gives the option for more than two servers/computers
