Works but not without flaws. Mouse move movement using phone touch screen isn't as smooth, even when turning off rdp options. Its okay but feels a bit slow and tight when moving, even with simulate touchpad mode. Also, does not show both of my monitors. Doesn't tell you one used either. Monitor selected also does not fill the screen to it's full resolution, despite selecting scaling options or custom resolution. Decent. Hope issues get resolved

Excellent app !! Just to make it even better, detection of remote disconnections should be improved: I turned off the remote computer, and aRdp keeps showing a screen to interact with. Also if I try to login to a remote computer which is off, you get a black screen that lasts about a minute before informing the remote computer could be off.

This app mostly just works, with a good interface and no bs service to sign up for, unlike many other RDP clients I've tried. There was one issue: the vertical resolution seems to be locked to 720px and when viewing my Ubuntu desktop at higher resolution than that, the bottom just gets cut off. I was able to work around this by going into the advanced settings for the connection and manually putting in the correct resolution. (Problem occurred with Gnome desktop sharing on Wayland)

This is the best RDP app for Android!! (I compared all of them over 5 weeks)...Try it yourself, you'll agree. OK so it's not the fanciest looking app, but you'll be impressed with its speed, stability and features. I will definitely buy the pro version soon. Anyone having a problem with the backspace key using SwiftKey or others - temporary fix - just press and backspace it for 3 seconds, then it should work as normal in that particular app until that app is closed . Cheers 🫠

Great RDP client especially with the resolution option. The only thing I've found is you can't stop it from flipping on a wrist unit even when locked in lanscape. We use it for order picking and the display flips 180 deg when you roll your arm over.

Gave this a try since the Microsoft one is broken (can no longer connect to domain joined PCs). I found the Microsoft one pretty intuitive. The user interface on this is horribly unusable. Can't even get to move the mouse properly. It pans the screen instead.

It may not be the prettiest app, but it works flawlessly and offers a nice variety of settings to play with. Great job! :) Only thing I'm not completely comfortable are the storage and recording permissions

I rate this app a 5 because it really was free. I have been testing a long time and I believe this app has been around a long time. Free version worked so well I bought pro. not because I needed it but because I'm thankful for their hard work
