Ratings and reviews

Seems like this app will forward Alt and Ctrl key combinations from a Bluetooth keyboard, but not Windows key combinations. Looks like most of the reviews for this are those who didn't like they keyboard change and never looked back. But at least currently, you can click on the keyboard icon and have direct key input again. An extra step, but in my opinion it makes sense and also seems intuitive enough.

Similar complaints to others, they just can't leave things alone and keep it simple. Don't know why I have to tap twice now to get into a remote computer when it used to open up right onto the "Remote devices" page and only require a single tap for whatever computer I wanted. Also, it will randomly forget my settings and require me to set dark mode, reenter my pins, and figure out the super obfuscated way to enable touchpad mouse input again. The bugs seem so simple to fix too.

This was such a useful app before the most recent changes. They changed text input to be 2 steps instead of just one. So, on my tablet, i have to use my keyboard to input in a text box, then hit enter to send the text. Just bring back the old input method, please. Also, when using a mouse on a tablet, it will not show up or work properly in the app. Once they fix these issues, it would be a nice app again.
