Ratings and reviews

This used to be the best remote desktop app but the last few updates have rendered it unusable. Even the latest build. It crashes in the middle of a session and won't respond, then hangs with a spinning circle until you kill the all and clear cache. Happens on both my S22 Ultra and my Tab S8 plus. I've restored to using Google Remote Desktop and another RDP app, neither of which is as good as the pre-crashy Microsoft app, but I have no choice. Please Microsoft, fix this?

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.

Constant crashes, freezes, and disconnects since the July update. Happens regardless of network or target PC. LAN or AVD. Desktop session or remote app. Direct or through RD gateway. it's always the same: I connect to the PC/workspace and after a minute or so of normal use I get a grey screen and a spinning throbber. Often while scrolling. It's been months and still no fix in sight. Thanks Microsoft, you've made it impossible for me to work from my phone, which is actually kind of a big deal.
