Ratings and Reviews
Does the Job, Room for Improvement
Works pretty flawlessly with both Windows and Mac computers (using NuoRDS server on Macs).
The only thing I'd ask for is some greater flexibility in the presentation/organisation of saved profiles. Specifically, 1) using tags rather than simple folders 2) assign my own icon/thumbnail rather than relying on a screenshot and 3) choose a specific thumbnail size rather than the somewhat odd and inconsistent auto-sizing.
But these are all essentially cosmetic nice-to-have and don't detract too much from the fundamentally good functionality.
Great RDP session manager, better than the WIndows version
Add folders for related connections, create "Accounts" that the connections can then be configured to use by default. Ive been using this for over a year now and find it pretty good for an RDP client session manager for what I do.
Note that the Windows 10 version is also called Microsoft Remote Desktop, which is EXACTLY the same name as the client for the Azure MS Remote Desktop Service. On the Mac, the MRD client can connect to both local RDP servers AND Azure Remote Desktop, on Windows they are two speperate clients called the same thing. So annoying.
Little bugs matters
Great app but little bugs that MS team dosn't care about make me feel bad every day. 1. Dark Mode/Ligth mode - if you have it Automatic in macOS - MSRD stucks in dark mode with black font which maks it impossible to read remote PCs names.
2. Resoultion update almost never works, you have to change from full screen mode to windowed mode to refresh the size of remote desktop and other elemets. Super annoying.
