Its very usable

Can't think of anything bad about the app at the moment. Works better than expected and packs all the features you could ask for.

Quality is worse than in past versions

I am a daily user of RDP for past 10 years on Mac. Last half a year the MS RDP client for Mac is one of the worse apps I was working with. Sudden changes which result in unusable app (November 22-January 23) the app did not connect to Remote desktop gateway at all. Now it does again but drops connection every 5-15 mins. Constantly. Running a native Windows RDP client on the same line, same Mac, only inside virtualizsed windows - never drops during the day. So same product, same company, amazingly different quality.

Blurry

I switched from verion 8 to this 10, but all fonts and icons are little blurry :( I have the same settings as in old one, also tried all possible combinations of settings, but nothing helped. I need to use the old one, because there is everything perfect clear and sharp. I have Macbook Pro 2015 retina. In new update, there is retina option, but everything is too small when I check it.

Developer Response ,

In the app preferences (CMD + ,) set the interpolation quality to None. This will stop the client from doing anything special as part of Retina upscaling, with the result that some content may appear clearer.
