Poor implementation. If you disconnect from the terminal server side (e.g. log off), this app hangs on a blank screen. Randomly, it'll also not reconnect and hang on "Configuring remote PC". When this happens, you need to clear cache and stored data to wipe the saved profile, re-add the server IP and settings and then it'll work again. Terrible!!!!!

I just recently got a Nreal Air VR glasses and is using this to connect to my main desktop in lieu of getting a new laptop. Everything works very well but for two issues. 1. When I type with my bluetooth keyboard, a multi-directional cursor pops up right on the middle of the screen. It very annoying since I using it for work and needs to type quite often. The only way I can get rid of the cusor is to click on the keyboard on the top. 2. The 3 buttons on the top blocks too much of the screen.

Update 2023-08-11: Three more months go by and the cursor issue and zoom offset when using the keyboard is still happening. It has been 2.2 years now. I've given up and am now using the old Remote Desktop 8 app which I had to obtain from a third party outside the Play Store, and Android warns about its potential compatibility, but it works better than this unmaintained solution. Is anyone at the helm of this thing? A severe usability bug persisting for two years is ridiculous!
