  • Works really well

    Thankfully I have one of those ipad magic keyboards, so I haven‘t had any of the issues other folks have had. I am able to log into my home laptop from my ipad while at work or on the road and do things like gaming and logging into my military stuff (leave my CAC there at home in the reader). This makes it super easy to check email and complete online assignments.

  • Overall best app of its kind

    There’s no adds like remote mouse and you can just basically use a computer from a phone or tablet. Audio is a bit behind but it’s over WiFi so there’s nothing can really be done there, only a few milliseconds but I wish I could have audio playing in the background when I don’t have this app open and not disconnect from my pc if I’m messaging people on my phone. Just kinda wanna have it stay connected in the background.

  • Was great but doesn’t work well now

    This was wonderful for years but it doesn’t work on my iPhone anymore. There’s something wrong with the screen resolution. I can’t tap anything on the computer I’m connecting to. I use this to connect to my PC and Mac from my iPhone and my PC is even worse: I only get to see one monitor out of two and I still can’t click anything. Something really bad happened in a recent update

  • Great but not perfect

    The app is at the time of this review, one of the best Remote Desktop app there is, and it’s free. The track mode is awesome to use and there is minimal to no lag, given that you have a decent WiFi connection. However, what it lacks is the ability to use ctrl, alt and other function keys! This is definitely a big draw back that most of time you can live with. If somehow the on screen key road can be transparent, it will make the app even better but this is not something essential.

  • Saved me $99

    Thank you so much for this. I’m shocked it doesn’t have 5 stars across the board. Microsoft made it so that windows 10 home can’t have a remote connection unless you upgrade to windows 10 pro for $99. I explored another DIY method by downloading a GitHub RDP wrapper which seemed to work for everyone else on the internet but me, so that failed and took me hours! Then all of a sudden I try this and boom not only does it work instantly but is intuitive and anything else I can figure out easily. It was exactly what I needed, thank you.

  • Won’t connect to PC on same WiFi network

    If you are connected on the same network and you are not able to connect to your PC even though it’s showing as online, try disconnecting from WiFi so you can connect to your PC and reconnect your phone back to your wifi. It worked for me.
  • Always improving, but always behind

    This app has come a long way. But there are some serious usability bugs that still need to be worked out like typing on an external keyboard not working until you select the “Show Keyboard” option. Seems silly to have to do that when having an external keyboard attached.

    Feature request: Please add a control mode that utilizes the iPads ability to use a mouse or trackpad on iPadOS 13.4

  • Works for me

    Works great for me, I haven’t used it extensively but when I use it on my laptop to log into my desktop that seems to work excellent. Now being on the iPad it seems pretty well I’ve only used it for a few weeks now but all in all it does exactly what it needs to do. I have a feeling it’s not as good as screens but for what I use it for at all I need.

    Screens is still my go to but this has actually been more reliable.

    UPDATE, screens has actually been less reliable lately (2 months) so this has been my go to. I’m hoping that is a bug in Screens.

  • My iPhone Connects To My PC Instantly, But ...

    .. once connected I’m not able to do anything.

    I can see my Notebook-PC Desktop on my device screen, but each time I’ve tried to access my folders etc. it just won’t budge.

    I’m giving Google the benefit of the doubt, so they get a 4 Star rating. The issue here is likely a user error and I just haven’t seen the answer listed in the Help Section.

  • wonderful app, BUT.!

    its amazing but the app disconnects for no reason if you leave the app it disconnects even if you’re in the app it does the same thing and about that keyboard you need to make a custom one since we don’t have everything on the keyboard but i don’t really have an issue with that my main issue is the disconnecting part i've been searching a lot for an app like this so i hope you see these reviews and fix the problems we will appreciate that sooo much thank you.
