Works Great Even if Legacy

Still works great and has features that the new non-legacy version doesn't support such as gestures.

One of the Best Free Apps

Very reliable RDP. Works much better than their newer client apps.

Needs updating

Used this app frequently. It does not work with iOS 11

Update not a problem.

To those having the grey bar issue, go to Settings>General>Keyboard and make sure 'Shortcuts' is turned off. Had this problem in another app and it fixed it for me. Other than that, haven't used it yet, will update when I do.

update NOT broken, just select "settings > keyboard > use IOS native keyboard" and it works

Update: the update is not broken, just select "use IOS native Keyboard" in settings and poof the controls come back. Major goof for this not to be default.

This app is the fastest-to-connect of any I have tried AND the mouse emulation is the most usable interface I've seen. Many RDP clients seem to work the same, but right-click seems like some sort of insurmountable programming challenge. This apps touch-mouse implementation is highly responsive, deadly accurate, and best of all it's plainly visible--for several remote clients it's easy to lose the cursor, but not this one. Are there any faults? Well their help and documentation are not brilliant, but hey its free.
