### 2/5 — Lockdown mode?  lol, no soup for you

*2026-07-27*

It’s not great, it’s not terrible. Which is hardly an endorsement. This app is ok on windows desktop. Like every year or two, they rip the rug out from beneath you, in one manner or another, e.g. disabling a protocol you’re using, or sunsetting how you’ve been saving objects/credentials to their cloud. Flame off. Cross-platform? Yikes. iPad Pro in lockdown mode cannot sign in to Devolutions Cloud (either genuflect or spit, depending on your faith). Not terrible, not great, either.

### 4/5 — password management

*2026-07-07, version 2026.2.0*

app is good but i cant manually set vnc password. only random password prompt… really wierd

### 3/5 — Gute App mit großem Problem

*2026-07-04, version 2026.2.0*

Beim Wechsel der App in den Hintergrund von iOS - zum Beispiel durch Wechsel zu einer anderen App) werden nach kurzer Zeit alle offenen Sitzungen getrennt. Das macht ein vernünftiges Arbeiten nahezu unmöglich.

### 3/5 — Why isn’t it compatible with SQLlite ?

*2026-06-07, version 2026.2.0*

Mac/Win versions are OK, indeed it is the only alternative to MobaXterm for MacOS that I could found, however iPadOS/iOS versions are unfortunately missing SQLlite database compatibility

### 3/5 — SFTP Browser Freezes and Requires Force Close

*2026-05-23*

Thank you for developing this app — it is an excellent tool. I wanted to bring a bug to your attention regarding the ‘Open SFTP’ feature. While it allows folder browsing without issue initially, the app eventually becomes unresponsive and requires a force close to recover. I wanted to flag this in case it is not already on your radar, and I hope it can be addressed in a future update.

**Developer response:** Hi Costanzo, thank you for reporting this — we've logged the SFTP browser
  issue and our iOS team will look into it and aim to ship a fix in an upcoming
  release. We appreciate you taking the time to flag it.

### 3/5 — RustDesk

*2026-04-03, version 2026.1.2*

Favor habiliten conexiones RustDesk en la app iOS

### 4/5 — Нет кнопки подключения к серверам

*2026-04-01, version 2026.1.2*

С обновлением 1 апреля пропала возможность в принципе подключаться куда либо. Можно просто смотреть на список созданных серверов и даже пароль нельзя к ним посмотреть. Классное обновление!

Upd. Заработало только после создания пароля, он его отклонил и сказал что какой то глюк и тогда появилась возможность подключения. Но потом пароль вроде как работает. Короче реально глюк какой то. Но выход из проблемы написал. Создать пароль и появится доступ

### 3/5 — Zu minimalistisch

*2026-03-24, version 2026.1.1*

Die Oberfläche ist so minimalistisch, dass ein Neuling fast nichts findet. Ich habe 20 Minuten(!) gesucht, bis ich eine neue Datenquelle anlegen konnte und der Import einer RDD-Datei funktionierte auch erst, als ich sie von OneDrive lokal aufs iPhone kopiert habe. Keine Fehlermeldung, Hilfe, gar nichts! Da ist noch deutlich Luft nach oben für eine professionelle Anwendung. Wie wäre es mit einem Anfänger- bzw. Profi-Modus zum Umschalten?

### 3/5 — Was great, until recently

*2026-02-10*

The most recent update completely broke it and now my xml vault will not load or let me connect to any of my systems. This has been rock solid for months prior and still works fine on desktop, but the mobile app is no longer functioning as expected. Vaults show as blank and the one time I was able to see the contents it refused to connect, just kept opening menus but never started a session when selecting an entry. There is no connect button, it only open the entry overview. 
My xml vault was located on a remote drive which I do have access to, but I have to manually point it there every time now and it seems to forget the location which it did not do before. 
This is quite the regression and I wish I could roll back to the previous version.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing this issue. On our end, we do not see any recent changes that could have caused it.

Could you please open a support ticket on our forum? We’ll be happy to help and investigate further.

### 3/5 — Awesome app

*2025-11-18, version 2025.3.2*

The only complaint I have is that there is no “show remote cursor” option in RDP sessions. I wanna use my iPad as a second screen and not being able to see the cursor is a pain.

### 4/5 — version 3.1.2, RDP function, crash

*2025-11-11, version 2025.3.1*

pls check asap

### 4/5 — Unterstützung 12,9 Zoll Geräte

*2025-10-29, version 2025.3.1*

Tolle App die ich schon lange nutze. Leider habe ich jedoch bei der Umstellung auf ein neues iPad mit 12,9 Zoll Display feststellen müssen, dass die korrekten Auflösungen nicht stimmen. Somit wird immer Displayfläche verschwendet und es bleibt ein schwarzer Balken oben und unten. Würde mich freuen, wenn die volle Auflösung eines iPad5 13“ unterstützt würde.

### 4/5 — Works well but…

*2025-06-19, version 2025.2.0*

Would be good if there was an option to lock it to landscape like the windows app

### 4/5 — .

### 1/5 — Deletes configurations randomly

*2026-05-26, version 2026.1.4*

The app seemingly randomly deletes all the configurations, and starts setup

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2025-12-02, version 2025.3.2*

Every update it just randomly deletes all my records and creates a new local data store, when I sync with my account it suddenly doesn't accept codes or just say unknown error. And when finally get logged it resync all data every hour even if I'm using the app and connection are open it just throws all and sync again.
If not were the only functional app to connect to mac devices i won't be using it anymore.

### 5/5 — 키보드 딱딱소리 심하게남

*2026-07-04, version 2026.2.0*

사실 가상키보드 띄울수있는 모든앱에 다해당되는 애플에서 아직도 해결못한 유규한 역사와 전통 자랑하는 버그지만 키스트로크음 스피커볼륨 최대치로 올린거마냥 지나치게 크게들리는현상이 다른앱들보다 RDM에서 더심하게납니다 심지어 바탕화면으로 나가는 꼼수도 안통합니다 앱 여러개 까는것보다 RDM한개에 다 몰아넣는게 편해서 특히 ssh 여태까지 좋았다 생각한 Termius가 부분유료에 한계정 딱한기기만 쓸수있어 RDM이 성능이 딱히 뛰어난건아니지만 평타는 치기때문에 쓰는겁니다
