Ratings and reviews

Best RDP client I've found. Much better than Microsoft's official RDP client. Love the trackpad mode. Only thing it can't do is find host by "\\host" method, but works find when IP address or DNS name is specified. I wish it would let you move the remote screen's location in landscape mode when the phones aspect ratio is larger than the remote desktop's aspect ratio. It can also be an issue in left-handed mode if your phone has a pinhole camera.

Having just moved to using RDP protocol in place of VNC after many years, and being very happy with this developer's app bVNC for Android devices, it seemed a natural choice to try the aRDP app. I wasn't disappointed. After a brief test where everything worked straight off, I had no hesitation in switching to the pro version. Excellent! 👌

absolute best , the Microsoft one is pos. the new feature of not timing out and not disconnecting when switching apps is key. only feedback would be to please make the pc selector , the settings a bit prettier but I use it for work so don't really mind it given how useful it is.
