### 1/5 — Bad app, I don’t recommended

*2026-08-19, version 6.3*

I don’t recommend this app to anyone because of the 5 minutes limit, I would stay away and don’t give this developer any money and I hope Apple removes this from the store

### 1/5 — Slop garbage app makes you pay for something that’s free

*2026-08-01, version 6.3*

Your sessions are limited to 5 minutes before your sessions closes demanding payment. RDP is a free protocol that has plenty of free clients this is ridiculous. Just a greedy grifter trying to make money without having to actually do anything.

### 2/5 — Verbindung Funktioniert nicht

*2026-05-19*

Kann keine Verbindung herstellen, es gibt aber auch keine Fehlermeldung, was genau nicht geht, sondern es erscheint einfach wieder die Connect Seite.
Außerdem funktioniert die Hilfeseite nicht-man kann zwar links auf einen Link klicken, aber dann kann man rechts nicht scrollen, sondern es ist nur der erste Teil sichtbar. 
Schade, hätte gern eine Alternative zum MS Client gehabt..

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-11-27*

Alguém me fala como que deixa igual o pc e como entra por favor alguém fala

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-08-11*

Не работат, не подключается...

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-08-01, version 6.2*
