Review summary

Overall, many users report that Chrome Remote Desktop on Android is functional and reliable, but recurring issues around keyboard input, updates/maintenance, stability, and browser-based access reduce reliability and security. The app is generally well-liked for its core capability, yet these persistent UX and maintenance drawbacks limit its practicality.
Pros
  • Generally reliable remote desktop functionality
  • Positive overall reception across multiple reviews (rated as good/best/superb)
  • Some users report cross-device usability with non-Android hosts (e.g., MacBook)
Cons
  • Keyboard/input issues (no external keyboard support, on-screen keyboard limitations, missing language options)
  • Updates and maintenance concerns (changes that degrade UX; appears to be poorly maintained)
  • Stability/reconnection problems (unreliable connections and reconnection delays)
  • Security/privacy concerns due to browser-based access method

Google's products continue to degrade in quality across the board. Bugs, handicaps set at the whim of copyright holders, and general restriction by certain websites have made this app useless. Google bends over backwards for anyone who pays them money and the cancerous "copyright industry" has paid enough to get Google to degrade this app to not show video or sound when remote controlling a PC that happens to be playing Netflix or any other stream. Not enough room here to list all the other.

By far the best app of this kind. It's the only one that isn't a headache and is free.
