Got the pro since I've been using free version for years now. Only complaint is a lack of "hamburger" options on the TV app. Specifically the inability to Import/Export settings. I use 100 character long generated passwords that I'd very much prefer to not type in using a remote... And my chromecast sometimes refuses to enter remote mode, so being able to fall back on a config file would be tremendously helpful (Upload files to Chromecast using Cx File Explorer).

Hey there, would you mind kindly opening a feature request at https://github.com/iiordanov/remote-desktop-clients/issues and I can go ahead and prioritize this for you? I don't usually track feature requests made in reviews very well. Thanks for the feedback, the first TV User to do so! Is the version you have able to move the mouse with the remote

Terrific app. I installed the free version first, to check it out. It works very, very well - even establishing VNC connections over a secure channel (SSH, in my case) to hosts behind a firewall is straightforward to do, once you know your way around the app. I decided to get the pay version, not necessarily because I want to get extra features or get rid of the marketing window, but because I think that the developer deserves it. Notice that migrating from the free one to the pay version is painless, thanks to the Import/Export Settings capability available in both versions. Very highly recommended.

I generally like this app, but preferred seeing a list without preview screenshots. I was intrigued when that change was made, but the novelty wore off and I wish I could go back. I hope the developer adds a way to let users choose which they prefer. Edit: it's not my job to chase the developer to make a suggestion. This is where I got the app, so this is where I make comments. My comment was obviously seen. I'd rather find a different app than play games.

Feature requests can be made on the projects issues page on github, not in reviews. Feature requests in critical reviews are unlikely to be actioned. Thanks!
