### 4/5 — Good but not perfect

*2017-01-16*

Like the user interface much better than Microsoft's but not as intuitive as Mocha RDP. Need the TS Gateway feature which works most of the time but seems to hang connecting to some sites where Microsoft's works fine. Wish they had a user ID table like Microsoft to make it easy to change passwords and share gateway credentials.

### 5/5 — Отличная программа

*2013-08-12, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Единственное что не могу понять - как развернуть на полный экран.

### 3/5 — Does not recognize <space> character

*2013-07-10, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

The app would have been really great except for the annoying fact that it would not recognize the space character when typing. This happens when I connect to an xrdp server running on Debian Linux. All other keys are recognized properly except for that and it really is annoying since it's one of the best RDP clients around. I hope the developers can address this soon.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2013-07-10, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Connects to windows 7 just fine! Nice gesture features too.

### 5/5 — Theipadlover

*2013-07-10, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Great app dude, keep on developing!

### 3/5 — Top Navigation Bar

*2013-06-29, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

It works fine but, top navigation bar is blocking the application menu bars, it's not easy to switch between applications or closing.  The navigation bar should be minimized to a circle in the middle of the screen like join.me menu.

### 5/5 — Is this the best RDP app?

*2013-06-13, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Great app, works well with retina. After a week of use solid performance, no crash. Floating mouse pretty effective. One annoying issue - can you hide the keyboard/mouse selection bar along top to access target buttons without having to zoom or use the mouse?
I've tried a few and this is so far the best RDP app out there.

### 5/5 — FreeRDP rocks!

*2013-04-08, version 1.1.0-beta1*

Официальный клиент от команды FreeRDP, немного сырой, но свою работу делает.

### 1/5 — 🚬

*2014-09-18, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Раскладка не переключается

### 1/5 — Keyboard problems

*2014-08-26, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Using a US standard keyboard layout for the pc and iPad, this app does not work for many characters, like the space bar, rendering it almost worthless. Too bad, for it seems to be promising.

### 1/5 — Space key does not work

*2014-08-04, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Unfortunately the space key does not function, rendering this product unworkable. Desperately needs to be fixed.

### 1/5 — nice idea but

*2014-03-16, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

As others have said it does not recognize all keys.   Therefore I can't log on.  really wished it worked

### 1/5 — Всё плохо

*2013-08-24, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Очень много недоработок и слишком медленно работает

### 2/5 — Did you actually try to test this?

*2013-11-11, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Cannot access the top bar on windows that are at the top of the screen so you can't close them easily. Bad.

### 2/5 — Basic function problems

*2013-09-14, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

The keyboard isn't handling all characters properly.  This prevents entry of passwords which include these characters.  So, it's a pretty serious problem that prevents simple usage.

Also, the Manu bar for the app does get in the way frequently.  

I have a lot of hope for the project because of where it is coming from.  I am looking forward to seeing how it will develop.

### 2/5 — Buggy - especially mouse

*2013-07-24, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

The on screen mouse is very hard to use. You can't just touch and move it, rather you must touch and hold and then move. Unlike most other remote access and rdp apps I have used. The buttons on the mouse for the keyboard and function keys is excessively hard to activate. On the task bar they work easily and fine. When the onscreen keyboard does pop up, it goes over the mouse and when you minimise the keyboard the mouse doesn't redraw and you have to close and reopen the mouse. Good to see this back in the App Store but it really does need some work. RDP8 support would be awesome!

### 3/5 — Audio won't play at PC & flakey mouse movement

*2014-03-30, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Hopefully this will be fixed in the non-beta version. It won't play audio at the PC. Some apps allow redirection to the mobile device and that's nice if that's what the end user wants, but they seem to also have the problem with not being able to play audio at the source PC. We should be able to choose and play either at the PC or at the mobile device. I also have some difficulty moving the mouse with my finger 100% of the time. It doesn't recognize my finger touch. Don't have this problem on any other app or iPad in general.

### 3/5 — Great app!! But needs audio enable/disable option

*2013-09-28, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

This is a great app!! It works fine!! For people complaining about the top bar, just read the help part!! To hide the top bar, just tap the screen with 3 fingers!!! But it has a huge fault: local audio enable/disable option. I use the remote desktop to connect to my jukebox PC and when this app connects to the PC the audio on it stops!!! You can check the app iRDP which you have the option to disable audio redirection and it works fine!! Just add this option and I will change this to 5 stars!!!!

### 5/5 — iFreeRDP

*2016-12-05, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

просто super 
всё работает автоматом и быстро

### 5/5 — Приложение отличное

*2016-07-04, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Есть выбор мыши для правшей/левшей. Спасибо

### 5/5 — Major Keyboard Issues

*2016-03-16, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

This would be a great app but the keyboard doesn't work for several keys such as the space at, period, etc. this makes it nearly impossible to do any work using the keyboard. This must be fixed.

### 5/5 — Без приколов

*2016-01-15, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Просто работает. 
Самая лучшая программка из всех. 
Долгих лет жизни Мозилловцам и их компании. Лучшие программки - это у них.

### 5/5 — Works with xrdp

*2015-02-08, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

The first RDP iOS client that works with xrdp on linux hosts.

Первый клиент RDP на iOS, который корректно заработал с сервером xrdp на линуксовых хостах.

### 5/5 — Отлично работает

*2015-01-10, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Поддерживает GW, проблем с раскладкой не наблюдается. Умеет эмулировать скролл мышкой, по свистелкам - порядком лучше официального. Из минусов - не retina-ready значки, и интерфейс а-ля iOS4.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Outstanding!

*2014-05-07, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

This is the best rdp client I've seen yet!  Microsoft's is preferred, but this one runs on iOS < 6, which means I'm using it and writing this on my IPAD 1.0!!!  And that's about all I can say before the AppStore crashes.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2014-05-07*

Good work. Useful and works.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-10-16, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

It's so good you get 5 stars

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2013-09-15, version 1.1.0-beta1+ios4*

Works as described and no ads.  Connects with network level authentication!  

To the rid of the top most bar, tap with 3 fingers to remove.  Tap again with 3 fingers to bring back.  The help button in the app is your friend.

Only wish it's touch enabled for win 7.  Otherwise it's a great app.
