RemoteDesktop used to work perfectly! It had the ease of being at a computer. However, it hasn’t been able to connect for 4-5 months! Please change it back to the way it was! RemoteDesktop used to be a life saver! What happened???

by BigDaddyBey

The whole reason I used RemoteDesktop was to remote into my PC that had no password. Now they change it so that this won’t work. Too bad. So long.

I can’t connect to the computer because of the port

RemoteDesktop is monitored by a human and is used to gain access to your computers. I was recently attacked by ransomeware using RDP and have discovered that hackers use RemoteDesktop to gain access via your credentials. Beware!!!

Why is it windows 8.1

I think you have to connect to a PC for RemoteDesktop to work I’ve been searching on RemoteDesktop Store off for a long time now thinking I could find an app that would just be like a PC but really no you need to have a PC to play that PC app which honestly I think is ridiculous!

I like RemoteDesktop because it allows me to start a computer scan when I'm away from the computer. Also, people complain that they cannot use the Ctrl+Alt+Del to access the Task Manager; there is a workaround by going to the Windows Security icon in the start menu.

What I don't like is how there is no click&hold, no click-hold-drag capabilities at all, and apparently it is not in the full version either. I reduce the screen size to save on memory, but then I need to drag windows around to see my stuff. I also cannot use the top-left corner menu either to move windows, because Windows will not cooperate in that accord.

I'd safely say that if all you're going to do is just click about, then RemoteDesktop works.

I always read bad reviews not good ones cause maybe the company owners or marketing firm writes those. Call me jaded lol But most of the 280 negative reviews sounded like people just don't know how to use VPN &/or Remote desktop connections. I installed the "lite" version cuz what the heck, it's free, rt?

In under 5 minutes I was logged in and working - I activated my VPN FIRST, then booted up remote desktop. I'm logging into a remote server for work so the computer I'm logging into is already set to accept remote connections (important note! Lol). I input the "IP Address" (which in my case was more like a URL than IP address). My user name & password & it worked immediately. No problem.

Maybe me detailing my steps will help others. All & all, it worked & easy setup if you've done remote connections & know what it's asking. Now - does it crash? Lose my settings? Etc..? Can't say. I just used it once so far (hence 4 stars not5) but so far so good! :)

If you have the right OS and have it configured properly for remote desktop, then RemoteDesktop will work fine

To those who say this is a bad app because it's not usable with any "home" OSs, this is NOT RemoteDesktop's fault, you will have the same limitation if you were to use the actual client program installed on every Windows OS XP and up, therefore it is MICROSOFT'S FAULT, you have a problem with it? Bring it up with Microsoft, therefore of you know what you are doing (and admit it, the majority of you don't), and everything is set up properly (and it took me a while to set up, even when I have had previous experience using remote desktop on the past), then it will work fine, so if it doesn't work, it is because YOU are doing something wrong, so if you need to, look up some information on remote desktop or terminal services and you may be able to make it work

Now for the reason I rated this 4 out of 5 stars instead of 5 out of 5, there is a lack of dragging support, because of the zooming and panning support, so if you attempt to drag something, you will end up panning instead, this will make it impossible to do things like play solitaire or copying or moving files by dragging, but if you don't need to do any dragging on RemoteDesktop, then RemoteDesktop is for you

Tried all the other RDP and wake on lan-wan apps. This one is the best I’ve found.
Best but not perfect, hence the 4 stars.
Developers, try adding SSH access to this list. You can’t access Linux servers via RDP but it can be shutdown via SSH terminal.
I can wake up my computers weather they are Linux, windows 7 or 10.

It does work well but not without some research on your part. For Windows machines that support Remote Desktop, you must turn on this feature or you will never be able to connect. As with most Windows computers, this process is not intuitive. I had to Google the info by searching for "turn on Windows Remote Desktop." There are instructions (HELP) available on the RDP website but these do not go far enough for a novice to be able to make sense of them. Those icons you see in the screenshots evoke the keyboard, bring up a menu that includes disconnect and center/resize the guest screen on the iPad. A double tap on this icon will lock the screen in place so that you can use a slider bar without sliding the entire screen. It is very exciting to see your remote computer completely accessible on your iPad. A fantastic value for the price.

As an IT guy, I highly recommend RemoteDesktop for anyone who uses an iPad and needs to connect via RDP. Connects to anything from WinXP to Win Svr 2008 R2. This is an awesome remote admin tool. I must caution those of you who want to try to "work" on that remote desktop; it's a little clunky for that. I suppose the paid version would improve that experience. Also, before I downloaded RemoteDesktop I read all of the 1 star comments and noticed that most were from people that were having other issues beyond RemoteDesktop. For example, not knowing their IP or not knowing how to enable remote desktop on the remote machine. Seriously, if you can't figure that out, then you need to call in an IT pro or cousin or something before you slam an app.

This is the best remote desktop in RemoteDesktop store, the latest version fixed the connect issue I have by using TLS 1.0.

I hate using Microsoft RDP, it is difficult to select and move around the screen, it is great that other company could build a better product than the ones that build the original software,

I have used this software for years on my ipad and my iphone and never have security issues on the server like others write on the reviews, it is safe to use this software.

Because I like very much RemoteDesktop I have buy the paid version.

Overall very confusing to use. The UI looks dated, can’t connect to Windows 10.
