## Review summary

Users praise the app for remote Windows access from iPad and Windows 365/cloud PCs, and view it as a strong remote-desktop solution in principle. However, recurrent post-update bugs, connection/login failures, keyboard/input limitations, and UI regressions degrade usability. Performance is often unstable, and some note pricing/support concerns. The core value remains, but stability and a consistent user experience are the dominant pain points across reviews.

### Pros

- Enables remote desktop access from iPad to Windows PCs and Windows 365/cloud PCs
- Convenient and adaptive UI across devices
- Useful for working remotely from anywhere (home/office)
- Widely regarded as an excellent remote desktop solution in concept

### Cons

- Post-update bugs that break core functionality or leave the app stuck on update/intro screens
- Connection and authentication problems, including being unable to connect, error codes, and inability to save connections
- Keyboard and input support is lacking, with missing function keys, unreliable modifier keys, and incomplete on-screen keyboard
- UI/UX regressions after updates (zooming/scale changes, clutter, loss of features like remote printing)
- Performance issues such as slow speed, frequent restarts, and general instability
