iRemoteDesktop Reviews

by Mersai2019

It worked the first time but the succeeding times...I could not see the keyboard anymore everytime I would log in so I could not go through at all and get stuck which makes it very frustrating coz I really need iRemoteDesktop so badlyl.

After purchasing app, you needed to follow two separate sets of instructions to get iRemoteDesktop to work. One set of instructions was to load iRemoteDesktop & the other was for 3G networks.

I could only get through half the instructions before running into problems I couldn't resolve. There were no instructions to handle non-connections or my problem. I sent an email to support & it's been over 3 days now but still haven't heard back from them.

I removed iRemoteDesktop & purchased Splashtop Remote Desktop which is great. Everything installs automatically so you don't have to work with the nuts & bolts of iRemoteDesktop .

Sorry to say not worth the price when other apps that automatically install are a available.

During one of the later upgrades, on my iPad 2, the right side of the interface extends beyond the limits of the screen. The right side of the interface is where almost all of the controls are located. since they are now off the screen they cannot be seen or used rendering the application unusable.

To be fair, I have only heard of one other person having this problem. And, when I did not have this problem I used iRemoteDesktop all the time. It is extremely helpful to me when it is working. If I can ever get it working correctly again I will give it a much better rating.

I've tried out VNC apps before with good success. However with all those other apps they included instructions on how to setup the computer to accept the VNC client. iRemoteDesktop does not have instructions. And their website has a magnificent lack of clarity. Most of the links to the support forum are broken and don't work.

Other than their advertisement to buy their app. They have no other support or instructions as to how to set the computer up.

App works good, easy to use. Downfall is no sound support. They said months ago sound support would be coming. 2-3 updates later still no support. Would give 4-5 star if had sound.

App works as advertised. A little slower than working from your desktop but for basic Windows functions it is great to have access from your phone. I recommend iRemoteDesktop .

A little clunky working a remote computer that is mouse based with the iPhone touch screen. But does well enough to access remote database at the home office for a quick check of something.

It works. It's a difficult proposition to map a large aspect computer monitor to an iPhone, but iRemoteDesktop does a reasonable job. I was able to access my XP computer (which I'd previously used remotely from other computers) without any problem on my in-home LAN. It took me some doing to poke the right holes in my firewall to make it work via the WAN. I didn't look for iRemoteDesktop 's documentation to see if it provided the information that people would need to do this themselves (the ports that needed to be set to pass through the firewall). I'm holding it at 4 stars (rather than five) because I've seen one minor issue with re-sizing and I'm going to use their support site to see how they respond.

I installed and uninstalled a series of so-called desktop remote programs. This is the real thing. I tried the free one first and it worked immediately. In order to follow the servers of all my clients (and have no ads) I was happy to upgrade to pro. Thanks for a professional app!

The system works great and is fairly intuitive. Connections to the remote computer are slower than I would like but it is still a lot better than going to the office after hours!

With a quick-starting interface, easy to use configuration, and fast-performing remote HIDs (mouse, keyboard), I'm using this all the time. The only request I'd like to add is an onscreen dragging "toggle" that I could use to draw or reorder things with. Great app, keep going!

This apps does everything I need it to do. Love the virtual mouse pad. Would like to see the entire screen work as a touch pad when in virtual mouse pad mode. I would also love to see a way to group the list of computers. Would give it a five star rating if these things were added.

This is the real thing. Other apps that want you to load clients on your target machines are bogus. iRemoteDesktop is great. And much better than loading extra apps on every PC you want to connect to. Rdp is built in to pc's already, why load anything else

I had a problem from new update til I updated iPhone software. Now it is still and again very good program. Thx developers for putting out some good stuff.

After 1 day of working with iRemoteDesktop, I simply love it. The function keys and mouse, finally let me leave my computern at the office even on 2 Day trips.

I have been using it formseveral days, It works on wifi and 3G to Win 7 and Win 2008 R2 Server. For me the best way is to set up a VPN and use the internal IP, but it also works with DynDns.

So far so good. In an emergency It has what you need and works with server 2003 and 2008. I have gotten a call while on a trip and was able to get the work done to keep the system going. Not the easiest but then I fixed the system from my phone what more could I want.

I have access to 4 systems server 2003, 2008 and windows xp and 7.

Nice little app.

I tried other programs and settled on this one. I can't recall and far too lazy to look it up, but one of the RDP programs was about $20. I like the right click function with this program.

I actually have to use this to run other remote control apps. I RDP to my system at home in order to launch Citrix. The Citrix receiver has issues with caps and lowercase on the keyboard. The only issue is I have is that the keyboard doesn't use caps like normal. A single click of the caps button enabled caps lock. Not a big issue though still a five star app.

I currently offer a web service that requires a Remote Desktop client on the iPhone. There are many other options available on iRemoteDesktop Store and for the the price ($4.99), this is an excellent buy as it is nearly similar in function and capability to other apps charging twice as much. I will definitely advertise iRemoteDesktop on my site.

Finally an RDP program that does exactly what it says it does.

First off, no requirement for a separate server program on the host computer. It uses the remote desktop server that's part of the right versions of windows. If you didn't buy the "right" version, try something different.

Second, all the required modifiers and special windows keys are available... That's huge.

Third, a reasonable price. I have no problem paying for an ap, but paying 4-5 times as much as I normally would for a utility ap seems absurd to me. This one is reasonable.

I haven't yet had the problem (disconnect after 2 days) that others have described, but so far (several hours later), it's working ok on both my W7-pro and my XP-pro machines in my home network.

I'll be trying this remotely and testing it more thoroughly in the next few days, but so far, this is exactly what I was looking for.
