Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for a while, and I used to believe this was the best remote desktop app out there. Until recently. I set it up to use with my brand new computer, connected it with my 23Utra as I had any other time and... nothing. You can zoom, change displays, but that's it. No left or right click, no input, nothing. I used RD to do programming on the go with my phone and now I can't. What happened Google?

What was once an effective, simple remote access tool has become a laggy, bloated mess that was changed in a way that no one asked for, can't be customised, and makes for an overall worse majority use case. Unless you are plugging a mouse and keyboard into your device to use this app, it is an extraordinary net negative for usability. Even then it will still be a laggy unusable mess, and at that point you may as well carry around a laptop.

This was such a useful app before the most recent changes. They changed text input to be 2 steps instead of just one. So, on my tablet, i have to use my keyboard to input in a text box, then hit enter to send the text. Just bring back the old input method, please. Also, when using a mouse on a tablet, it will not show up or work properly in the app. Once they fix these issues, it would be a nice app again.
