  • Good But Needs Improvement

    The MS Windows App is good but needs some improvements. 1) The name is terrible; causes a lot of verbal confusion; Remote Desktop was clear, concise, and didn’t overlap with a major product like ‘Windows’. 2) There’s no way to select which microphone and speakers are connected to the remote session. This is critical when you want to connect a headset for video conferencing but want to keep host system sounds on other speakers.

  • Worthless with passwordless

    I wish I could review this based on its performance, but for my use case to access a few systems that use passwordless MS accounts it is impossible to use. I found NOTHING on the Microsoft site to address this. Not saying it’s not there, but it is surprising they wouldn’t put a use case using their Microsoft accounts and their Authenticator app at the forefront.

  • It’s fine

    It does what it says it does and gets out of the way.

  • Memory Leak

    Current version of the app on macOS Sequoia seems to have a memory leak. It has bogged my iMac down significantly over the last few days such that I had to force quit. I noticed today it was taking up 24 gb of memory.

  • Doesn’t work with multiple monitors

    I’m running two monitors from my M3 MBP. If I run the Windows App in a window, I still have access to my other monitor. If I go full screen, my 2nd monitor goes black. That didn’t happen in the old app.

  • Nice app for RDP to OSs.

    Nice app for RDP to OSs. I like this application for adding Windows server host names to Remote Desktop Protocol to just by double-clicking & authenticating.

    After the most recent update, I can no longer remote into my Windows PC. Please either roll back the update or fix this issue.

  • Tabs????

    Tabs for each system/monitors would be great. Or… showing application windows in a transparency mode (like Parallels can do with VM guest machines).

  • No longer works
