Does not listen to feedback
     
by Gabriel37263 · May 13, 2026

I have reported bugs numerous times and Microsoft ignores any feedback I send them. Four things: 1. The new iPad OS Liquid Glass version has a bug where if you have multiple connections open, the connection screens overlap making it difficult to select the right one. 2. Sometimes clicking on one connection opens another connection instead. 3. When zooming in, the cursor has an offset and does not click where it is pointing, forcing me to guess where it is actually pointing. 4. Windows doesn’t receive keybinds properly from the iPad keyboard, and applications such as VS Code registers new keybinds as “unknown” because of this.

Keyboard not working

Impressed with frame rate of game graphics , but the app is unusable without keyboard working.

Download speed
     
by Yaakovf21 · May 15, 2026

It took me over an hour for the download of this app to complete. Not recommended. Once it’s downloaded it’s good though.

App has stopped working

Since the update to 11.3… unable to connect to remote server. The app will just spin saying “securing connection…..” until you get an error message once it times out.

Amazing product - missing a critical feature
     
by Cronus Uranide · July 8, 2026

Works extremely well and reliable. Supports both personal PC settings and work/school accounts/settings with complex scenarios like Azure VMs and DevBoxes. Simply put an amazing product. There is one big issue though: it does not support running multiple instances/windows at the same time. It has been quite a while since iPad supports this, so why is this critical feature missing? I should be able to connect to two different remote PCs at the same time. iPad (Pro) is more than capable and powerful for this and Windows App is more than optimized and well-designed for this. Please, please consider adding multiple instance/window support. Then, it would be perfect.

Stopped working recently
     
by jrgnnnn · May 20, 2026

I now just get a blue “Please Wait” screen when connecting to my PCs, and the connection just sits there. Remoting in with my other devices still works, but not this app. Totally broken.

Latest Update - Crash, Crash, Crash
