User Reviews

Users praise the app’s straightforward, PC-like RDP experience and reliable keyboard/input behavior (especially vs the newer client). Major repeated problems are lack of support for recent Android versions, connection instability/disconnects, and difficulty setting up due to scant documentation or poor tutorials. Several users prefer this older build over the newer, buggier releases.
Pros
  • Reliable/classic version works well when connected — behaves like a real PC/desktop app
  • Good keyboard/input compatibility (notably on Chromebooks) compared with the newer release
  • Simple and effective interface — users report it works as expected and is helpful
  • Generally praised for core RDP functionality when setup succeeds
Cons
  • Not compatible with many newer Android versions/devices (multiple reports of Android 15/16 and new phones unsupported)
  • Frequent disconnects and stability issues/crashes reported
  • Difficult to set up; insufficient or unclear tutorials and troubleshooting help
  • Newer app versions introduce bugs or poorer behavior compared with this version (keyboard problems, crashes)
