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.

I have been pleasantly surprised but how well this app works, to both another Windows PC, and to a Linux box (Mint Linux), though its named horribly - no RDP in the name got searching to find it! 5 stars because it just works. That doesnt come lightly. You may need to adjust to moving the mouse around instead of just clicking the screen, but this solves a lot of "mouse hover" problems.

This app was working fine and allowed me to remote use my PC not long ago. Now when I use it, it seems there's some sort of rendering issue. When a window is closed, it appears to not close, but cannot be interacted with (it's actually closed but appears not to be on the app side). This happens with right-click menu and even the taskbar. It's unusable like this. Thankfully we can still sideload apps. Downgraded to a working version.
