why is the point of this mobile app logging out so quick if you go to another app?!!!

mobile apps should not timeout so soon. do you know how mobile apps are used? we should be able to choose how many minutes we want to auto-log out.

Worst Remote Access

I love he virtualisation offered by Parallels. What it does, it does beautifully. This on the other hand is terrible. I just need to be able to add different virtual devices so I can connect directly. I can only connect directly to the host device. Using a Mac studio with multiple virtual devices, I could use RDP or any other client but I was hoping to keep everything in house with one technology. I don;t understand why you don;t allow installation on a virtual device?

It’s too slow and many times it doesn’t work. I use it for TC2000, and it’s too frustrating…
