    At first I was worried this was going to lock down or lock out the tools I’ve become so familiar with over the years. However, once I started using this (especially on my Mac) I found it be extremely useful and performs very well.

    Translation from Mac to windows is awkward and slow.

  • Fixed Multi-Monitor Support

    Microsoft fixed the multi-monitor support, which was a huge headache for some of our remote employees on Mac. We still notice a lot of latency when compared to the employees on Windows, even when they’re on the same network. As long as they have multi-monitor support, they are happy for now.

  • Buggy & Slow Startup

    Slow start-up at times. Takes severl attempts and sign ons.

  • Another update and this garbage STILL fails with multiple monitors

    I have 3 monitors. This app will work with all 3, but if my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, all 3 screens are smushed into my main monitor and it is completely unusable. This never happened on the (much better) older version. I hate you, Microsoft.

  • This is actually a really good app.

    It feels snappy, quick, and stable. You can import RDP files. It’s pretty good as is. It’s missing a couple things I think, at least on macOS, like device passthrough when using RDP. Solid experience with performance though.

  • Troubles with Mac

    Great program but it really struggles with Mac computers. Especially is you’re plugging a monitor into your computer as well. Often times the program will shut down, you’ll have to click an inch above the button you’re trying to click, and it’ll constantly log you out and make you log back in.

  • Cannot use local-offline

    I have a setup with 2 computer without internet, and remote desktop will not connect without an active internet connection. Switched to Thincast Remote Desktop Client as it uses the Microsoft RDP protocol. Microsoft, please fix your app for pure offline use

  • Fire the entire Windows app team (PC version)

    They need to be fired, lousy generic name that means NOTHING and faulty implementation of REQUIRING a work/school account? Mac version is OK. Why do they think everyone is employed or attending school (PC version).
