iRdesktop App Reviews

No problems here. Great app to administer my server from anywhere

This has been a great app and helped on a lot of occasions. Very fast even over 3G. Developer is quick to respond to feedback. For free cant beat it. Has new annoying ads but once connected, they are out of sight. Highly recommend.

Annoying ads on the home page are acceptable for a free product, especially since they go away when your actually in the remote client. The setup doesnt automatically use the hostname as the title as on the other RDP apps Ive used, and if you assume it does you end up with a blank line in your index. Once in the RDP session the host was responsive using 100s vs 1000s of colors. I liked being able to switch between multiple sessions, hadnt seen that on the other client apps I use. Will have to look for it now on them. A major problem with the app was that it didnt refresh the screen consistently. For example I applied security patches on a server and when I closed the window the screen appeared to refresh every other line, leaving a weird ghost image. After opening and closing a couple more windows the ghost images started stacking up. Like I said, this is a good application, but has some issues that Im not willing to put up with. I prefer to use a paid app, iTap RDP at this time, but will definitely keep an eye on this one. Actually, Ill keep it installed and see what kind of and the frequency of updates it gets. Im an IT professional and am currently piloting iPad deployments for our managers, and still think this one has some promising features, and is easy to use for computer illiterate managers ;)

For a free version it does the job better than other free RDP apps. Used on iOS 4 with iPhone 4 Works well over 3G and great over Wi-Fi Looks really good on an iPad

Has not been updated in quite some time and crashes often on the menu. Also is lacking semi-special keys such as ESC. But what can I say? It works alright and gives you right-click for free.

It is a free app that does what it promises, why give less than 5 stars.

Does everything I need, and its actually pretty quick. I have friends that have paid for rdp apps that arent as good as this.

This app would be perfect if it supported special keys such as Ctrl, Alt, and Esc... Without those my use for this app is limited. However, this app is still very good for what it does provide.

This app is exactly what Ive been looking for and free. Specifically, I can securly connect to my local network server and move files from its temporary folder to a more permanent place, all from my iPod . . . and that is the coolest. Side note: I had to open a port on my router.

Try this first.

Some users like it, but what do I want it for? I have computers at home, at school, or library. Why would I want this app? Ridiculous.

I use this mainly for flash games. Its decent, but Id rather not have to buy the XP server software. The keyboard support is limited, missing important keys, and you cant hold down keys! Well, you can, but the computer wont notice.

This app is hands down the best free Remote Desktop app I have tried. It does what is advertised, allows connections to RDP enabled Windows computers. Over wifi it is quite responsive and will allow useful work to be done over 3G as well. It could use a special keys menu and the ability to drag scroll bars. Keep up the good work, devs!

A very nice RDP client. Simple, clean, and professional interface, very well done. I would offer one suggestion and that is to make the "toolbar" either auto-hide or be some kind of flying as using the iPads native resolution of 1024x768 means you have to scroll the window to see the Windows Taskbar. I hate scrolling so I just downsize the resolution to 1024x640 but that leaves unused screen real estate which bugs me. Not enough of a pain to rate this app any less than 5 stars sin my opinion but it would be nice to see in an update. Again, fantastic job!

Love this as it took me exactly one minute to configure and connect to my Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Folks simply need to use local ip address (using cmd.exe and ipconfig.exe on their windows computers) allocated by their wireless router at home. Folks should try to avoid passing username and password in their connection for better security. Liked the fact that I could provide name to the connection and use longpress to access the right click menu (on the desktop or item in a folder). Better than the RDP Lite app for me. Now all I need is to figure out how to access sound from iPad:) No idea why other remote connectivity apps charge when this free apps does everything for the general use cases.

This is the best RDP app Ive used. Works perfect.

And it can store credentials - not that I want it to. Other than that, Im not impressed, comparing to Remote Desktop Lite.

Very good app. It does what it is intended to do. The one thing I would like is the ability to hook another device (iPhone, iPod touch) as a mouse. I like the way citrix receiver does this, but do not want to go through citrix to get to my personal desktop. Would gladly pay $.99 for such a feature.

Gets the job done. its definitely the best in the market for its price... And whats better is that we all own it, so we can all contribute to the source code (if ur knowledge permits). I might even get into app development from here :) Thank you for the great work!!!

Would be perfect if it could get rid of or hide the top bar on the iPad. Other than that it is great.
