| 2025-02-03 |  | | Horrific experience! Like others, I'm constantly having to force quit because it hangs, and the session cannot resume, resulting in effort that defeats the purpose - and I'm on a LAN of 1 iMac, and 3 hardly used laptops. It shouldn't ever be this terrible! Microsoft, your quality has vanished, it seems! Two thumbs down! 👎🏼👎🏼 |
| 2025-01-09 |  | | 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 seems to effect the remote desktop app on the PC as well as often I have to connect and disconnect on the app if I want to connect on the PC. |
| 2024-12-23 |  | | Have to constantly force quit the app since it wants to hang and become entirely unresponsive so frequently that it is borderline unusable. Issue has persisted FOR YEARS across app updates, device changes, and even updating Windows on the host PC. I have zero expectation that this will ever be fixed, so just know that's what you're getting into with this app. |
| 2024-12-21 |  | | 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 the main one. |
| 2024-11-30 |  | | What this app is really missing is the ability to categorise your connections. They're all absolutely huge in the list (turning off "desktop previews" has not removed the screenshot) that as soon as you have four or more, it's a right fun time scrolling the list to find your desired server. |
| 2024-11-27 |  | | I am A+ and Net+ and Microsoft Endpoint Certified. I have tried allowing RDP through my firewall and router. I have tried pinging the device I want to reach and and able to reach it. I have tried using both local and Microsoft accounts. I've tried resetting passwords. I have done a ton of Googling errors. I've done everything I can. I want this app to work. But it simply does not work. One positive thing is that the app's GUI is simple. So a star is added for that. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | It works great for what I need! I didn't plan to use this for anything other than quickly viewing files that were on a remote machine. Nothing crazy and now I have a great backup. Paired with Tailscale, I can even remote while away from the network. The display on my Pixel Fold is the ideal viewing experience too |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | Still a miserable experience. Doesn't matter if you connect locally or over VPN, to physical or virtual hardware. It works great when it works, but all to often the session freezes or goes blank to a spinning circle. The you have to force stop the app and relaunch. This is unacceptable, Microsoft! |
| 2024-11-01 |  | | 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 2 stars, instead of 1. However getting it up and running. And ESPECIALLY keeping it up and running. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Unfortunate too, because i prefer it's navigation, over others. FIX IT!! |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | 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 to connect, or find your computer again, and when it decides it wants to start committing it's f★©k£₹¥™ . You'll best help yourself by immediately give up. Would be nice if fixed though. Can easily mobile navigate PC. |
