Reviews for Windows App

To work you just RESTART PC having switched REMOTE ON on PC then add this. It doesn’t store EMAIL & LOGIN PW which I think should by now use MS 4 Digit Pass Code to store. Be better with 2 finger stretch view for more accuracy in ZOOM but it can be setup eventually as […]

it works…. but.. if your phone on portrait mode then the resolution of your pc is also stuck on a vertical resolution and it’s very narrow you can barely navigate. till this is rectified then I could bump up the ratings but other than that, I have to temporarily force my phone onto landscape mode […]

The app connects fine but has serious input issues. Using a physical keyboard triggers a constant “cross move” icon in the middle of the screen due to conflicts with the virtual keyboard. The mouse scroll wheel click doesn’t work either, and some apps don’t respond properly with keyboard input. Not reliable enough for professional use […]

Works pretty well, though onboarding could be improved. Started by typing in my Microsoft account, then it turns out only work or school accounts are supported. At home, setting up the connection for a PC is entirely manual. The remote view fills the screen without any padding, which means the corners are cropped out on […]

Really when you can catch it in good working order. I think it to be one of the easier remote desktop programs to navigate with. Wouldn’t use it to game though. Even when it to decides to run well. which seems to be probably the first, and maybe second time. Then you can’t get it […]

The only one issue I have is the size of the screen. It’s so small, would be way easier if it matches a similar resolution to your phone. Another problem with the zoom move to drag button in the center is that it sometimes crashes the app. There is also another issue, and this app […]

Not a bad app and it works if you got everything configured correctly.. let’s face it if you have to use your phone to access your remote PC, you’re probably in a bind.. and so, despite the clunky interface and the effort you have to put into getting to things on your remote desktop, if […]

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 […]

My experience with this app is not really nice, I’ll give you a few reasons: 1. Connection drops 2. Connection issues when you try to connect 3. App keeps running in the background even when I killed the app in app switcher. The problem is that whenever I used this app on my old iPhone […]

I’m not a big fan of the Display Sizes. They’re really awkward sizes that can’t be customized. I’d prefer being able to set the resolution or even just use the remote PC’s set resolution and just scroll with the mouse arrow. Feature suggestion: The capability to change screens/monitors rather than moving everything that’s open to […]

Pro: It works quite well. Sometimes for as much as ten minutes! Con: It crashes quite frequently. Annoyingly, a lot. I have “anonymous feedback” enabled, so Microsoft must just enjoy the constant crash reports. Alas, I’ve found no other RDP app to switch to, so I continue force closing with this one… At least it […]

Such a bland name! Try Googling Windows App and see how many irrelevant results you get. Thankfully, the massive thumbnails for each PC can now be reduced (although the app forgets this option if you back out of the app to exit). I can’t see how to scan my network to retrieve computer names which […]

2 stars, despite as many, many, MANY reviews claim. It simply doesn’t work very often. Or at all. Honestly I’ve gotten it up and running when first installing, and WHEN it is working properly. I actually find it to be one of the apps that allow easier, more streamlined navigation of your pc. Hints the […]

This app USED to be the best. Now it just hangs, and crashes CONSTANTLY. You can try every fix in the book and it still won’t work. Don’t even bother reaching out to them. Microsoft’s generic reply is that either you app is out of date or Windows is out of date. This issue has […]

Constant crashes, freezes, and disconnects since the July update. Happens regardless of network or target PC. LAN or AVD. Desktop session or remote app. Direct or through RD gateway. it’s always the same: I connect to the PC/workspace and after a minute or so of normal use I get a grey screen and a spinning […]

I use the RD app on my phone and tablet to occasionally check on the 2 windows pro machines on my network. I didn’t use it a lot but it was handy and IT WORKED. Windows App forced itself on my tablet last night and I couldn’t get it to work AT ALL. Original connections […]

EDIT: 4 months later and it seems to have gotten even worse. Literally constant freezing and crashing. It’s unusable. I don’t understand how Microsoft could put out something THIS bad. Constant freezing, crashing, and forced closing on Android. Very unreliable. Looking for an alternative because this app has proven it’s not out of beta with […]

Works surprisingly well. I see a lot of negative reviews on here, not sure why. My experience has been very positive. Specifying the IP address is easy, just put it in the pc name field. I didn’t even bother with the wizard, anyone using this app probably doesn’t need it anyway. I also like how […]

It’s fine. Still a bit clunky but largely does what the old RD client version did. Biggest issue now was a problem from before, mouse cursor color is stupid. Like REALLY guys, I need to tell you that having the same color cursor as the damn background of so many windows is a REALLY STUPID […]

The latest update has fixed a few issues; shortcuts to specific computers are back, and it no longer constantly prompts for access to Bluetooth peripherals. It still has issues though, as it doesn’t properly pass my credentials for the gateway to the desktop like it does on the desktop application, so I have to log […]
