Ratings and reviews

Such a bland name! Try Googling Windows App and see how many irrelevant results you get. Thankfully, the massive thumbnails for each PC can now be reduced (although the app forgets this option if you back out of the app to exit). I can't see how to scan my network to retrieve computer names which you need to set up a connection. Luckily, I still have the old RD app so had to use that to grab names.

Broken One-Handed UX: The app is unusable one-handed because the connection bar - the only way to toggle the keyboard - is locked to the top of the screen and cannot be moved to the bottom for thumb access. Requiring a three-finger gesture just to open the keyboard is a major design flaw. Allowing the toolbar to dock at the bottom is a trivial fix that would immediately solve this accessibility issue.

Using this app on the my Unihertz Titan 2. The app can't seem to handle the high resolution or the square display I have the display set to 1440 by 1440 but the remote window displays 720 by 720 regardless. The physical keyboard isn't registering correctly. The Alt key doesn't do a thing. The remote window crashes regularly. About every 3 minutes. 3 months later, app continues to function poorly.
