Ratings and reviews

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.

It's fine. Still a bit clunky but largely does what the old RD client version did. Biggest issue now was a problem from before, mouse cursor color is stupid. Like REALLY guys, I need to tell you that having the same color cursor as the damn background of so many windows is a REALLY STUPID idea? Do you not use your own app? Also lack of ability to adjust window shifting when zoomed in and using the cursor. At this point you should just pay me big bucks to tell you how to design software.

EDIT: 4 months later and it seems to have gotten even worse. Literally constant freezing and crashing. It's unusable. I don't understand how Microsoft could put out something THIS bad. Constant freezing, crashing, and forced closing on Android. Very unreliable. Looking for an alternative because this app has proven it's not out of beta with how often it freezes or crashes on me. I expect better from Microsoft.
