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.

the app needs really some updates, broken theming here and there, insets seems to be broken as well... I was hoping to use it with a tablet with kb/mouse, but that's very difficult. Would be nice if MS spent more time on this and improve it to "notebook" to PC experience... one year later and its still massive pain for same usecase, sight... do something with it...

In general I like this app. But there's a significant issue when using it with Samsung Dex: when you go full screen, the app window expands but the actual 'desktop' shrinks to the size of a post-it note, which isn't particularly useful. I have no problem launching the connection or accessing any content, but the scaling is ridiculous.
