### 3/5 — keyboard and mouse support

*2024-07-09, version 19.4.24923*

some shortcut like ctrl+space will be hijacked by ios to switch langauge.

all single key shortcut doesn't work, this can be easily tested with blender.

mouse double click and has that weird ripple effect, it's not visually appealing, drop it.

### 3/5 — This work pretty good with their RAS product

*2024-05-10*

We are implementing the RAS product for our customers.  It works pretty good on the iPad when it works.  THe big issue is that if your remote into your environment and then RDP to another computer within session, none of the alphabetical letters and numbers work in the RDP session, but all the special keys just fine.  It is very strange.  Works fine with the MAC and Windows version of the client.

### 3/5 — some physical keys don't work, external mouse double click

*2023-10-31*

start, end, page up and down key doesn't work. 

external mouse double click

### 1/5 — Terrible app for iPhone

*2022-02-09, version 18.2.22862*

Loved the old TC2000 version. This new version is terrible and useless. I just canceled subscription.

### 1/5 — This app still needs a lot of work.

*2022-01-22, version 18.2.22862*

People need to use this to be productive, so make it work better for people that use it with iPad Pro, keyboard, trackpad/mouse.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-09-29, version 18.1.22697*

Absolutely horrible DO NOT USE, it is defiantly not user friendly and works like absolute garbage without a wireless keyboard rich at that point you might as well just use this on a laptop or computer. Do not waste your time with this app!!

### 1/5 — Farewell Parallels

*2021-09-27, version 18.1.22697*

I’ve used Parallels for my iPad for over a year, it used to work just fine.  However about 6 weeks ago the keyboard will no longer pop up.  I enabled the ´always pop up ´ feature in settings - no success. I deleted both Parallels and the app I use it with, reloaded - no success.  Parallels is severly cripled without the ability to use the on screen keyboard.  I can no longer recommend this product. If your app has an iPad extension that requires Parallels, move on to another solution, Parallels is essentially dead on the iPad.  And if you are wondering, yes all my apps are updated automatically.

### 1/5 — It stinks.

*2021-09-08, version 18.1.22697*

I’ve used this service since 2001 and now I can only open it on my computer.  As I use my iPad and Samsung phone for several updates a day, it is beyond frustrating.  When I contacted Telechart, they just sent three pages of instructions which didn’t work either.
My Samsung phone was ok, just more difficult to get into my charts until recently, now charts are gone.  It would be nice to get an IN PERSON VISIT with an expert to fix this not just an email print out..
I, along with too many others, have paid way too much to have an update that is total frustration.  
Have praised it many years, but not now.
 "Legacy" is the download stopper every time.

### 1/5 — Fatal

*2021-08-24, version 18.1.22697*

Una vez bloqueada la pda no hay manera en iPhone, se queda en negro, aver si nos ponemos las pilas y lo arreglamos, y esta activado para que trabaje en segundo plano

### 1/5 — Seit 17.07. mit Stift nicht mehr nutzbar

*2021-07-21, version 18.1.22694*

Seit 17.07. auf dem IPad nicht mehr gut nutzbar da er wenn man den Stift verwendet immer die rechte Maustaste triggert . Das nervt und man kann nichts mehr aus Doppelklick öffnen (Windows Terminal Server)

### 1/5 — Parallels client

*2021-06-15, version 18.0.22344*

This is total garbage.  I have been a long time client.

### 1/5 — App works….

*2021-06-02, version 18.0.22344*

It works, but for some reason is extremely laggy for me. I have never had this process and have an extremely powerful device. Awful experience, going to have to find a new charting software and cut out tc2000

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your feedback, please get in touch with us by email at scs@parallels.com

Thanks,
Parallels Team

### 2/5 — Cerca de ser la mejor

*2021-05-25, version 18.0.22344*

La aplicación funciona muy bien, la conexión es rápida y además se ve con mejor calidad que la oficial de Microsoft, sin embargo, no consigo que se vea el ratón en el equipo remoto (a través de RDP) si utilizo un ratón externo no se ve nada moverse pero si se puede apreciar que se marcan las cosas, y si pones el modo touchpad para mover el ratón, se mueve también pero se sigue sin ver el ratón, por lo tanto es imposible usarla…

### 1/5 — Macに接続するには？

*2021-04-30, version 18.0.22344*

Windowsマシンのようにはいかなかった。 問い合わせ先を教えて欲しい。

### 1/5 — Terrible new update

*2021-03-08, version 18.0.22344*

I have used TC2000 with great results for over 25 years. What led the developers to come up with this atrocious version is beyond me. Why mess with something that wasn’t broken to begin with? Please restore the previous version...

### 1/5 — It’s impossible to use in my iPhone

*2025-09-26, version 20.2.25989*

Please fix it! We pay for this

### 1/5 — why is the point of this mobile app logging out so quick if you go to another app?!!!

*2025-05-19, version 20.2.25704*

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.

### 1/5 — Worst Remote Access

*2025-04-02, version 20.2.25704*

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?

### 1/5 — Tc2000

*2025-03-14, version 20.2.25704*

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

### 1/5 — Whe you need more, it doesn’t work!

*2025-02-25*

I use it with TC2000 and frequently it doesn’t work, it’s too bad !!!

**Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for the feedback. Our Support Team would need additional details to help to get this fixed. Please get in touch with us at scs@parallels.com Thanks, Parallels Team

### 1/5 — App Doesn’t Work.

*2024-01-12, version 19.3.24588*

Can’t navigate the screen on my iPad.  Doesn’t respond to touch mode.  No matter which tabs I tap, nothing works.  Uninstalled and reinstalled it several times, still no go.

### 1/5 — Malísima

*2023-10-11, version 19.2.24090*

Lo peor que han hecho

*2023-09-21, version 19.2.24080*

Unter iOS17 direkter Absturz.
Update dringend erforderlich!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-03-08, version 20.2.25704*

La uso para conexión RDP y funciona muy bien

### 5/5 — ios 17 issues

*2023-09-20, version 19.2.24080*

Dear support,  I updated my iPad to ios 17.  Since then the app crashes every time I hit enter on the magic keyboard but on the device keyboard, the enter works normally.  The app is fantastic and it is an essential tool for my work. Please work on an update and release asap. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Screen adjustment

*2022-12-13, version 19.1.0.23485*

Please update for iPhone 13 Pro Max, the graphics is awesome but it doesn’t extend all the screen, has a black bug border on each side when the phone is on landscape.

### 5/5 — (修正済み)低解像度で表示されるようになってしまった

*2022-09-03, version 19.0.2.23357*

下記の問題は19.0.2.23357で修正されました。
バージョン19.0.0にアップデートしたところ、ディスプレイ設定を変更していないにも関わらず、画面表示が荒くなり、拡大しないと表示されている文字が読めないほどの状態になってしまいました。今まではdot by dotでも情報が落ちることなく表示されていましたので、アップデートに伴い何か変更が入ったのでしょうか。

### 5/5 — ipados 14.2 のリモートデスクトップモード だと日本語入力が不便

*2021-01-23, version 18.0.22344*

ipad mini で運用中。

リモートデスクトップモードでリモート先に接続した時、ios12.7に対応したバージョン で日本語入力すると、リモート先に入力した内容がそのままセットされていました。

ipados14 に対応したバージョンにアップデートしてからは、日本語入力すると、リモート先にはセットされず、リモート元(ipadmini側)に表示されるだけになってしまいました。

テキスト送信用のボタンは用意されており、その機能を使えば、日本語もセットされますが、画面下部にスペースが取られてしまい、その分画面を余分にスクロールしないといけません。
その機能をオフにすれば、画面一杯にリモート先のデスクトップが縮小されて、表示されます。

日本語中心の利用では、かなり不便になってしまいました。

2021／01／22 追記
ver18.0.22344
になって、日本語入力が直接反映されるようになりました。
マウスカーソルも直接制御されてて、右クリックでメニューも開きます。
最高の環境はなりました。
ありがとうございました。

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-02-03, version 17.0.21518*

After the recent updates, app works flawlessly. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Huge improvement comparing to v15.0

*2016-11-02, version 15.5.15550*

Looks very modern. It offers significantly improved usability comparing to the previous version.

### 4/5 — La mejor App

*2022-08-06, version 19.0.23351*

Le pondría 5 estrellas de no ser por la ultima actualización que ahora se ven las letras un poco borrosas. Por favor arréglenlo o si me pueden decir cómo volver a la versión anterior. Muchas gracias y felicidades por la App que para mí es de las mejores

### 4/5 — Verbindungsabbruch

*2020-09-04, version 17.1.21805*

Seit der neuesten Version wird ein Verbindung, die einige Minuten bei geschlossenem Bildschirm im Hintergrund läuft, bei wieder einschalten geschlossen mit der Meldung „RDP Sitzung beenden“ mit der Option OK oder Bericht senden. Bei älteren Versionen hat er mit Authentifizierung 1/10 etc... die Verbindung wieder aufgebaut ohne komplett herauszufliegen. 

Könnt ihr das so schnell wie möglich wieder beheben ? Rückfragen auch gerne in direkter Kommunikation. 

Liebe Grüße

### 4/5 — Great RDP Product!

*2018-11-18, version 16.5.20449*

I have used Parallels Client for years - a very solid and reliable RDP client.

I would like to see a feature like “folders” added to the Connections screen to allow grouping of individual connections.
