Ratings and reviews

2 stars, despite as many, many, MANY reviews claim. It simply doesn't work very often. Or at all. Honestly I've gotten it up and running when first installing, and WHEN it is working properly. I actually find it to be one of the apps that allow easier, more streamlined navigation of your pc. Hints the 2 stars, instead of 1. However getting it up and running. And ESPECIALLY keeping it up and running. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Unfortunate too, because i prefer it's navigation, over others. FIX IT!!

This app USED to be the best. Now it just hangs, and crashes CONSTANTLY. You can try every fix in the book and it still won't work. Don't even bother reaching out to them. Microsoft's generic reply is that either you app is out of date or Windows is out of date. This issue has been happening to me across three different phones, three different major android versions, two different machines, windows 10, 11, and server. The only constant is this app.

Constant crashes, freezes, and disconnects since the July update. Happens regardless of network or target PC. LAN or AVD. Desktop session or remote app. Direct or through RD gateway. it's always the same: I connect to the PC/workspace and after a minute or so of normal use I get a grey screen and a spinning throbber. Often while scrolling. It's been months and still no fix in sight. Thanks Microsoft, you've made it impossible for me to work from my phone, which is actually kind of a big deal.
