### 1/5 — Abandoned- will not work

*2018-03-13, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

Dev looks to have halted development. Will not work as of this review.

### 1/5 — Needs to be UPDATED!!!

*2017-11-19, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

NEEDS TO BE UPDATED!!!

### 3/5 — Problems with top bar

*2017-01-05, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

Even when hiding the tool bar in settings I can't click anywhere on the top edge when connected to my PC. Any buttons or links that appear upper most when connected don't. If this was fixed it would be really good. I'm experiencing the same problem as Chris Brown

### 1/5 — Latest not the greatest

*2016-06-15, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

I can no longer login, please fix!

### 5/5 — Actually not bad at all

*2016-03-30, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

I wanted a RDP client to use with XRDP on a Raspberry Pi and this works quite nicely.

The Raspberry Pi desktop is mildly awkward to use on an iPad but that is a touch screen issue not a problem with this application.

Give it a go.

### 1/5 — It *used* to work

*2016-01-28, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

Unfortunately for the last six months or more it's been useless.  Attempting to connect, both from an iPad Pro & an iPhone 6+, results in unreasonable wait times ending in timeout errors.  Updates to the app seemed to have stopped and as much as I liked it over the MS RDC, it looks like I'm going to be forced in that direction to have some semblance of functionality.

### 3/5 — Can't use any symbols.

*2015-04-25, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

All symbols are unavailable.

### 1/5 — Piece of crap

*2015-02-02, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

Works really great until you need to type space in a command line or any text.   Will not put a space character in

### 1/5 — Login link disappears

*2015-01-30, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

As soon as any of the three credential fields have been filled in the other two disappear as do the Login and Cancel links when trying to connect to a 2008 R2 Remote Desktop server

### 3/5 — Paid subscription

*2015-01-30, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4+ts2*

It's ok does mostly basic stuff and well not worth the 300.00 for unlimited access
