    I’ve used this application with great success for weeks now. I’ve not tried it in a multi monitor situation just yet so I have to try that.
  • CAC / PIV Device Fails with MacOS 15.6

    This version of the Windows App doesn’t recognize CAC certificates. Web Browser access (to the same workspace requiring CAC authentication) works.
  • Update after update but STILL fails with multiple monitors!

    Microsoft replies to these reviews and that you email their support. But that’s clearly just for optics - I emailed their support twice and they completely ignored me. Since they “upgraded” this app, it has been a miserable failure 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 primary monitor and it is completely unusable. This never happened on the (much better) older version.
  • Great experience !

    I am about 1 week into my trial and Ive already upgraded my services. My experience has been seemless so far from the server usage to customer service and support. I will be leaving another review after my trial period is up for an updated experince

    No reconnect options. Clunky interface. No CLI options for ad-hoc connections. Misleading name.
  • Remote Desktop client was much better

    It’s good enough and works, but just the regular RDP client was a much better experience
  • Lags really bad!

    When this app was Remote Desktop, it worked great. My work PC was quick and responsive. Now, it lags when you click on anything and blurs every time. Fix this $*&t, Microsoft!
  • New version a bit clumsy

    The clipboard is a bit clumsy still. However, overall, still an excellent piece of software.
  • Functional, Needs Work

    Works as RDP client. UI is poorly made; no list view, only big giant icons in “list” view. Does not work correctly on multi monitor, always opens on the wrong monitor, no way to pin to specific screen. Needs safeguard agains cmd-Q instant quit. Needs Mac Menu Bar disable, super annoying trying to work in full screen when cursor bumps edge of remote session and brings up Mac Menu bar.
  • Bring back the old Remote Desktop app

    What is this new "Windows" app? It uses 50% of my CPU at idle, disconnects randomly, and then refuses to reconnect. I have to Force Quit and open it again to reconnect. The old Remote Desktop app wasn’t very good either, but it got the job done. This Windows app is unusable. Now I have to go find a decent RDP client. Ughh, MS always screwing things up
