Unusable on M2 iPad Pro

Horrendously glitchy on iPad Pro (11 inch M2, 2022) w/ magic keyboard. Any keyboard input seems to randomly repeat letters, so something “that should look like this” actually comes out as “thhaatt shhhouuulld llookk liikkee thhhiss”. Absolutely infuriating. Have never seen such a bizarre error in a VDI client.

Seems to work fine but small issues

Scrolling doesn't work with a trackpad enabled & there's an annoying white bar that only seems to appear in the app (and not when using the website). Please fix this so I can give this app five stars ;)

Edit: Upping this to 4 stars because the white bar issue was user error (stage manager was causing it). Performance on the actual shell is... iffy. I got the Plus package and I went to update the OS since it was missing around 300 updates and it's been going for a couple of hours now and is only ~50% complete. It's maxing out one of the two cores provided, so that's probably the issue.

Otherwise, seems to be a decent service. I wanted to use AWS' desktops but the iPad support is abysmal. Hopefully this is better!

Unusable

Tested on an iPad Pro. Takes minutes to connect if it does so at all, and the desktop is completely non-interactive if it does.

Unusable

It’s basically unusable in its current state on iPhone. Screens too small, can’t easily resize or zoom or keyboard or use the mouse.
