Ratings and reviews

The functionality is great (fast and flexible) and it is one of the only apps that performs like rdp to allow changing the server display resolution on the fly, but its android app is buggy. It crashes if you manually connect to a mac os server by ip. It connects if you allow auto discovery. Even then, it crashes on the initial connection and only works when you connect a second time.

Most recent update broke the ability to zoom out all the way, putting a black border around everything that covers up the desktop, forcing you to scroll to see the other side of the screen. Mouse constantly double-clicks by accident. The tab is permanently stuck on the right side of the screen, only able to go up or down. Options menus are barren, and what options they do give you are unreliable, especially the zoom features, which are prone to resetting themselves without warning.

Good app. Couple things that can be improved are - I use this to play games in my linux machine via lutris. When in game, it doesn't register single taps as clicks. I have to double tap which registers as a single click. - Having a ”change monitor" button on the sidebar would improve usability a lot. It is tedious to do it from settings. - When I disconnect abruptly, connection still persists on the server and prevents me from reconnecting. I can't connect without restarting the server.
