Ratings and reviews

Samsung Dex support is now flawless on my S9+ with Android Pie. Full screen, Windows key and mouse right click are all working without problems. The scaling on the phone itself is not the best (S9+ is the phone with a rounded screen corners and 18.5:9 ratio). On remote session (to 16:9) screen is not centered so the corners are cut on the left and there's a huge black unused space on the right. Please add an option to center the work area so rounded corners do not always crop the remote screen.

- Does a bad job with other than US keyboard layouts on remote systems. - Does a bad job when you get back to an open session from any other android app using portrait render. Messes widths on my s8+ returning from portrait mode to landscape and must reopen remote session to regain control. - Once you get a hold of these two issues you'll have a pretty nice rdp even on low bandwith connections. - Kudos for supporting left handed mouse users!

I'm just going to clarify some stuff. Those who are saying it doesn't connect over cellular data are completely wrong. They most likely didn't setup their server or system properly. Works very well. Only problem I have is the screen doesn't zoom out to make things smaller to move around the desktop properly. Was the same issue in the old version of this. But I may be missing something. Haven't dove to deep into it yet. Just wanted to make sure the correct info was given to other people when connecting via Cell network.
