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.

Works surprisingly well. I see a lot of negative reviews on here, not sure why. My experience has been very positive. Specifying the IP address is easy, just put it in the pc name field. I didn't even bother with the wizard, anyone using this app probably doesn't need it anyway. I also like how it saves my connection info so I can remote into my hyper-v host server easily, as well as my fail over. Connection, in my environment, is about the same as the RD app. I don't like UI change but 🤷

The latest update has fixed a few issues; shortcuts to specific computers are back, and it no longer constantly prompts for access to Bluetooth peripherals. It still has issues though, as it doesn't properly pass my credentials for the gateway to the desktop like it does on the desktop application, so I have to log in twice. The old Remote Desktop app handled all of this better than this app. Not sure why I was forced to move to a worse app with less features.
