Remote Desktop Manager Reviews

There’s absolutely nothing like being able to go to my workstation, open a session and realize I need to go somewhere else in the house, open RDM on my iPad or phone and launch the same session type on the device to continue working.

There are a few missing session types compared to the full RDM but I believe that to be the fault of iOS limitations thus the five star rating.

This is by far one of the most versatile clients for remote connectivity for iPadOS. There are only some minor issues that prevent it from being a 5 star application:

1. When connected to Windows 10 and using a mouse in iPadOS the application keeps the client mouse (it does not use the Windows 10 pointer, you keep the circle pointer from iPadOS). This can be difficult to use when trying to resize windows or select text.

2. When using a keyboard in iPadOS the fn+up/dn key (which is supposed to be pgup and pgdn) acts as maximize and minimize windows. I saw this same issue in the official MS RDP app so it seems like a common problem.

Otherwise, I would definitely rather use RDM than any other RDP client. It can be a little convoluted with credentials but after the learning curve it makes sense. Amazing application.

While the overal concept is great there are some functional improvements that need to be made.
Better cursor tracking support in ssh sessions on the IPad Pro 2021. The cursor gets stuck or jumps places when trying to edit text in an ssh session.
Also do not put RemoteDesktopManager to sleep so quickly when switching between apps. This disconnects ssh sessions and makes using the iPad a pain when trying to work on complex configurations

RemoteDesktopManager supports every kind of remote connections such as ssh, vnc, rdp and so on. I see a lot of nitpicking in some reviews and i don’t think that they are just. I was looking for a vnc client that supports ssh tunneling and RemoteDesktopManager is the only one that deliver this feature flawlessly. To support these many features on iPhone is incredible. Kudos to the developers of RemoteDesktopManager.

I use the desktop version of RemoteDesktopManager and have loved it for years but now I have that functionality on my phone as well. It works pretty good and you can use all the same connections from your desktop on your phone by connecting both to Dropbox or one of the other data sources.

RemoteDesktopManager is the best for apple remote desktop.
However, a fatal disadvantage is that I cannot capitalize by pressing shift, cannot use backspace. This causes huge trouble. I believe this could be solved easily. Thank you very much!

I did try to login SFTP at port 22 on CentOS and Ubuntu, BUT the files list is empty!

RDM itself is great, and I have been using it for years! Now that the mobile app clients are available, I can connect to all my sessions from anywhere I happen to so long as I can get my device on the network.

Rdp on windows 2003 randomly freezes and you must disconnect and connect again.. Ssh terminal is basic and far from other free apps . Vnc is slow compared against other apps
Why you add so many features to something that don’t do the basic job ?
I am user of years and never improved this.
I reported several times this issues nobody answered.
so this is my review. I am only using RemoteDesktopManager to store credentials and manually copy the login credentials to another apps.
It’s annoying but is better than trying to use the rdp of RemoteDesktopManager.

This is not it. Not even close. In less than 5 minutes I discovered several bugs and that you can no longer use integrated security with Sql server for the connection database. Given the choice of switching the login method of the production database or picking a different app... well, I’m sure you know which one was picked.

With this I can navigate through servers and workstations on my iPhone as if I was right in front of them. The way they translate touch into mouse movements and clicks is ingenious!

Can not use magic keyboard for iPad when VNC into a remote VM, can left click but nothing else, PLS FIX THIS

When you are out and need to do a remote session from your phone this is RemoteDesktopManager you want!

Been using for years and love it

RDP works about 60% of the time on my iPad vs. being highly reliable on my desktop.

Tried them all. Works flawlessly

Most complete RD Managing apps on the market!!!

Simple insecure vnc server listening on 5900. App wouldn’t connect to it with or without a password. All other vnc viewers work, such as tight vnc, real vnc, tiger vnc, etc. Glad this was free.

Most complicated Remote Desktop app I’ve ever seen. Wasted 30 minutes before giving up.

The stupid cursor x is obnoxious, can’t figure how to turn it off.

After more testing. Was finally able to get it working by removing the connection and adding it back a few times.

Update: Fixed touchid issues. However now the bottom area where connections open sessions etc. is all squished and has a giant circle with a plus symbol. Not sure if it just an iPad issue.

I have been using the server/desktop version for a number of years. RemoteDesktopManager is great as a companion or as the only version of it. RDP programs are a dime a dozen this software incorporates so much more.

I had previously written a review on RemoteDesktopManager for an older version giving it 1 star...as it was hot garbage. This apps has dramatically improved and now I love it. Excellent tool.

Just installed 4 minutes , it's powerful, not only Remote Desktop but also dibs. Have ping tool , wol . Like it very much

Great app on Winfows. The iPhone app integration is nice but could be improved with integrated authentication.

I am sure i must be missing something, but I defined a connection and I could not see any way to actually invoke it. One would think that the whole purpose of this program would be to initiate a connection and when that simple function is not immediately discoverabe there is an issue.

Damming I love ur app it is so helpful thank u love it
