Ratings and reviews

After I got used to the controls this app works perfectly for my use which is to control my windows 10 computers remotely from my Oneplus 7 pro. I love you can set up custom resolutions (looks insane in 4k on the phone BTW) , deal with multi user accounts, screen rotation and no annoying ads interfere with the experience or at least I didn't notice them. Maybe what I would like to have is a in app reminder of the controls (like how to do right clicks) and an easy import/export feature the profile

Signs in beautifully to my Windows 10 server box. Needed to tweak the screen resolution to match what my phone supports, but after that it's just like sitting in front of my main PC screen. Can view the whole desktop, or zoom in and scroll around to see individual icons and windows, as the need arises. Note that you also need to enable port forwarding on your router for a single port if you wish to use this to connect remotely from the internet, as opposed to over your local LAN.

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.
