Ratings and reviews

Truly an abysmal experience. Remote Desktop app has been replaced and in typical Microsoft fashion, the replacement is hot garbage. Remote PC connections take 30+ seconds to establish now, with no reported errors or warnings, just a MASSIVE delay. Remote Desktop app was instantaneous each and every time. Very disappointing but sadly not surprising. I may end up switching to another tool if this isn't resolved shortly.

latest version has an incessant pop-up every time you connect or even switch back to an active session, regarding permissions for Bluetooth connectivity. if you do not click one of the buttons and just click the background, the app screen goes gray and I have to leave the app and come back for it to start working. no, I don't want to enable the feature, so please stop asking once I've said no.

I gotta say, RDC was better then whatever this is supposed to do. Not that I'm surprised that Microsoft won't play nice with Android. That reminds me, Chrome has a remote desktop plugin for the desktop browser which links to Chrome's Remote Desktop app, it even allows you to connect to your Chromebook from your desktop. My issue is no way to access my desktop from boot-up since I run a dual OS on dual HDDs, being allowed to view and listen to my USB camera and working behind the login screen.
