Ratings and reviews

New version is awful, electing to use some sort of internal keyboard mechanism versus being able to use a phone's gboard. While this interface looks great on a tablet, it does not work on a phone and one size does not fit all for remote access. This version took a step backwards and the previous version no longer functions correctly.

As of May 2024, I saw a note about some new authentication method being rolled out. Since then, trying to access my PC when there's a full screen program running has been horrible. It maintains a connection for 5-10 seconds or until I click on something, then hangs on reconnect attempts. I frequently get failure due to too many failed authentication attempts. It also sometimes reports that the remote PC is not online or that Chrome is restarting on it, neither of which seems to be true.

App is now broken on Google Pixel 5. Google can't even seem to get this app to work on their own hardware. It has worked perfectly for years and now all of a sudden the app has been updated and has a completely different interface and does not have any way to open the keyboard. This makes the app completely useless and now I can't do anything to access my PC from mobile.
