Your big screen on your pocket screen. Anywhere.

Remote Desktop allows you to connect to any Windows computer using your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. The app uses Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to any Windows that has support for Terminal Services.

FEATURES:

* It is an universal app so you only have to purchase the full version once and then use it on all your devices.

* perfect for low speed connections. When youre on a slow speed network choose "Low quality images" and 640x480 resolution. This minimizes the required bandwith.

* emulates the mouse. You can left-click, right-click and even double click. Drag & drop is also implemented.

* zoom and pan the remote desktop screen as in the Safari browser.

* Safari-like page view for switching between multiple concurrent sessions

* connect to any version of Windows starting with XP, except all Home and Starter versions. From all these editions Microsoft removed the Terminal Services.

* uses the bigger screen size of iPhone 5

QUICK START GUIDE:

To start using Remote Desktop tap "Add PC" from the bottom toolbar. Add a name for the entry, the hostname (or IP address), your username and password and choose the image quality and resolution. Tap Save when youre done.

In the main screen you will see the new entry. Tap on it to connect, swipe it to delete it or tap the disclosure icon to edit the computers informations.

On slow network connections choose low image quality and a low resolution to insure proper screen updates. Also be aware that iPod Touches tend to work slow when choosing higher image resolutions.

BUY ONCE, USE IT ON ALL YOUR DEVICES:

The app is free so you can download it and test it with your PCs configuration without having to pay in advance. If it works with your configuration (routers, firewalls, etc) then you can disable the ads by purchasing an in-app product that costs 0.99$. The app in its free version is a fully functional app, so you can test every option before deciding to buy.

After purchasing the in-app feature on one device, you can disable the banners on all your devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) without having to pay again, as long as you use the same iTunes account. To do this you have to go through the purchase process on each additional device. Hit Disable Ads, confirm the purchase and a message from iTunes will confirm you already bought the product and the banners will be disabled.

**************************
If the ads are shown again after a reinstall go through the purchase process again to remove them. You wont be charged again. This only re-activates the in-app product on the device.

VERSION HISTORY:

Version 1.1:
* added a new scissor icon in the upper toolbar when a connection is open and active. When touched it brings up a set of text edit commands: CTRL+C (Copy), CTRL+X (Cut), CTRL+V (Paste), CTRL+Z(Undo), CTRL+F (Find), CTRL+R (Replace).

* added a new setting to the connection settings: Use Console. Enable this switch if you want to connect to the console session.

Version 1.2:
* updated the screen size to take advantage of the larger screen of iPhone 5

Pros and cons of Remote Desktop - Universal App app for iPhone and iPad

Remote Desktop - Universal App app good for

I use this everyday especially when it comes to presentations at my job meetings

I have a fast network and use both iPhone 4s and iPad2 with this app on highest resolution and works great 2 changes I would make would be to be able to change connection settings after installing a computer to it like resolution and to be able to navigate pages easier

Just tried this on my iphone and it works great. Going to try it on the ipad next.

I am not a network admin but this program works just as advertised. Ive been using it to connect remotely to multiple computers in two different locations for weeks. Works great! Thanks.

I saw the mixed reviews and was curious to try this app. I found that it works perfectly as a remote desktop client. I used it to connect to two computers with no problems. There is a banner ad but it can be removed for a dollar.

Works fairly well. Would like to be able have a bit more colors and a way to hold a modifier key like shift & Ctrl and click an object at the same time.

Some bad moments

App crashes as soon as it opens, devs please fix, very promising bc im on ios 5.1.1

Unfortunately my iPad mini closes the app when I try to change "the quality" of the view to any connection. And you can not edit saved connections.

Im a Network Administrator and this program doesnt work. Im aware that a user has to enable remote connections on each PC wanting to be accessed but doing any of the steps on their site is an effort in vain. Work in progress..or not.

I have the option to try other rdp apps before I buy. And thats just what Im doing. With this app, the banner ad is always blocking me from my desktop. If the developers cant let me try this app due to their short-sighted pursuit of some ad revenue (which wont hook me anyway), then I dont trust their design skills and therefore wont buy. Moving on.

It only fills a quarter of the iPad2 and maybe only 16 color.

I purchase this app. to remove the banner ads. App worked. I upgraded to version 1.1. App no longer works and banner ads are back.
