Remote Desktop 8

A Google user

Works great, free, secure and built-in to Windows 10. Just turned on the remote desktop setting in Windows and was able to use this for everything I needed. Minus one star for being a little quirk regarding using scrollbars on the far left while trying to use the in-app keyboard. The screen seems to cut off the margins when the keyboard is open.

Using this app with my Pixelbook Go. Very simple and, for the most part, works well to access my work station from home. Some issues I'm running into are using quick keys within the window, Shift sticks, Copy/Paste options are hit and miss when using them in Excel, and no way to use a dual monitor view through the window. Fix those issues, and I would say you have the best on the market.

Worked great for the last few years until recently... I dont know if it's because I got the S10 recently, but when connected to a session, the bar at the bottom randomly disappears and I cant access the settings or keyboard. I have to go to the Android home screen and go back to the app a few times for it to finally show again.

Hello, remote desktop doesn't go into full screen mode. Bug? i.e. Although custom resolution is set to match device resolution, there is black bar on right and button side of the screen. Portrait mode is fine, the problem only occurred in landscape mode. And also this problem only start to appear in the latest version of the app. It hasn't happened before.

Microsoft is copying Apple, in the sense that you have to have the "right version" of windows 10 to get it to work. I'm not paying extra for a whole second windows copy of Windows just to make it say "Pro" at the end, after already buying this copy I'm using now. It's a marketing gimmick, much like how you have to pay them to be able to watch videos with certain file extensions in their built in media player. But as usual, 3rd party software always saves the day.

The app has a great deal of potential but the right shift bug (which has gone unfixed for years now) is show-stopping. It makes it somewhere between ackward and unusable to type on physical keyboards. You essentially have to train yourself to only use the left shift key. There is another version on the Play Store, also by Microsoft, simply called "Remote Desktop" that has this issue fixed and also does not have the copy-n-paste issue. I'd suggest everyone use that app instead.

Loving the simplicity and utility of this app. Feature-rich, convenient, and functional. There is one issue I have with it, which can be extremely frustrating. As noted by some other users, the Shift key tends to lock, meaning everything after will be capital letters or symbols. You can usually turn this off by tapping Shift again but causes significant issues with secure prompts because you can't see whether it kicked in. This is separate from Caps Lock and is not affected by the real deal.

This app has been awesome for the last few years as I have used it to connect to my office network remotely using a tablet with 4G service. Recently it has been terrible. It freezes about every 2 to 3 minutes, and I have to reconnect to the network each time, and then I can use it for another 2 minutes, then it freezes again. Over and over and over again and again. So frustrating! Can't accomplish anything!

works great with only a tiny bit of lag. I mostly use it on my Samsung S9 with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. when people say you can't use it on the go they're lying or stupid, in order to get it working on the go you first have to set up and log into your VPN, then you can use RDP to connect to your PC. if you're not on your VPN it's obviously not going to work. the only thing I don't like about this app is that i can't use an Xbox One controller on the phone when I run steam.

Works well, but I have a new phone with highly rounded display corners and thus I can't see the full remote screen (esp the Start menu!). Why can't we choose an option for a resolution SMALLER than our phone screen resolution? The only options are for resolutions that are bigger. And why can't we scale via pinch-to-zoom to smaller than 100% so I can actually see the full screen on my phone?
