Ratings and Reviews
NAT over internet
I used to use your app to connect to my home computers, but these days a 4G connection is 100Mb/s faster than ADSL with the tradeoff of being behind a CGNAT. There is no way to connect to my inbound network unless an outbound connection is made first. Maybe the biggest thing that can happen with RDP protocol this year could be introducing a cloud based service to register machines, maintaining the connection so you can compete with the likes of Teamviewer and logmein. I have moved with the times, 5G is the future, there is not enough PIPv4 addresses to go around.
Works extremely well
Keep seeing that people state you can only connect to Pro versions of Windows, but that is not correct as no problems at all connecting to W10 & 11 (even a couple of old W7 Home machines a friend uses in his business still!!!) Home versions through the app (I frequently access several W10/11 Home systems from the app with my iPad Pro). The Home versions do not have an OUTGOING RDP client (so cannot sit at those to access other machines) but all have the Incoming RDP access protocol (just needs activating in Settings menu as by default it is turned off) so can use this app on your iPad or the RDP Client on Pro/Server versions of Windows to connect to them. I am finding I am sitting at my desk less & less through using this app as being a disabled person that is bed bound (both home & in hospital) frequently, I can still do almost everything I need to at each specific machine via a VPN Tunnel to my home network. Very little lag going through the app and certainly no worse than the typical RDP Client connection but that will depend on your own network & the connection used (I have a synchronous Gigabit internet connection so it is almost as if sitting at the machine itself even 100’s of miles away or in a different country/continent).
One last issue on iPad
The app is becoming great and virtually free of bugs, very happy with this tool. One last thing: the screen of the iPad has unfortunately round corners, whereas computers use right angles displays. The app could correct this weakness of the ipad by ticking an option to ignore pixels in corners. Instead it tries to find the max feasible resolution on the ipad screen to display a rectangle and a good part of the screen is not used because of the corners. I still give 5* to the app because it is a design flaw from the ipad, but it would be amazing if this app could do something to maximize the display! Thanks.
Edit: the problem of ipad round corners has been mitigated in options where you can choose to cut corners. many thanks
