Windows App Mobile

The developer betas for ipad OS 16 were released almost a year ago now! Meaning they’ve have a year to implement full screen support for stage manager external monitor. In a Remote Desktop app this is a necessary feature and I have a hard time understand what the excuse could be that this hasn’t been updated for this critical feature yet. UPDATE: I’m so confused. The latest updated as of 9.5.23 says “the update you’ve all been waiting for!” And lists as a feature “the ability to display on an external monitor”. WHAT? We were always able to display the session on an external monitor. The issue is compatibility with stage manager and being able to resize the window and utilize full screen via stage manager on external monitor. And it still doesn’t work. I have no idea what they are talking about! UPDATE: Devs have fixed external monitor support for iPads using Stage Manager. I can now utilize full screen RDP on external monitor with stage manager. In my opinion, took way too long, but better late than never. Well done on listening to user feedback. I have updated my rating accordingly.

This app works about 90% of the time and the two main issues that I have are due to the size of the RDP client window on an extra monitor and the option to reduce background login attempts. 1. The size of the RDP client window is great on the iPad and works well and is the full size of the iPad window. But once you connect the iPad to an extra monitor(Dell U2415 in my case) the RDP window will not fill up the entire monitor screen. There is a significant gap around the RDP window on the extra monitor. This is not a typical with apps on the extra monitor because there are three dots in the top center of the app that usually allows for the app to go full screen and then the app will fill up the entire window. This option is usually an option on most apps but is not an option on this app. This is a big deal when you are trying to use the extra monitor to work off of and have a monitor that is more than 1-2’ away from your eyes. Once this is fixed this app will be much more beneficial. 2. The option to reduce background login attempts is a necessary option because currently this app will attempt logins until either the computer is locked out or the security login software locks out. Both of which are a nuisance next time you attempt to login. Needs to determine options to resolve this issue to prevent nuisance login attempts and reduce false locks out of the remote computer.

I have been using RD Client for some time now, and while I can see that you have improved one thing, you still fail with the other. The improved thing is that since the latest update, when you switch from RD Client to another app and then back to RD Client again, the image transmitted from the PC does not slide down, leaving a black area at the top of the screen anymore. On the other hand, however, you still haven’t solved the issue with the sound of what is being played back on the PC being disrupted. By „disruption” I mean that while you can hear some of the portions of the sounds that are being played back (everything being transmitted continuously, without disruptions), other portions of the same sounds being played back on the PC cannot be heard, but they are dropped out. And when the sounds happen to begin fading back in again, they sound „torn”, similarly to when interference disrupts the continuousness of the sound. The interference and the fading back in of the sounds can be said to roughly be sinusoidal in nature, with the intervals with and without disruptions being shorter or longer in length. You should work on eliminating the said sound transmission disruptions because it doesn’t seem to be a difficult thing to eliminate if applications from other developers manage to transmit such sounds without any such disruptions whatsoever. And since it is so that I can tell that other applications manage to do so from my own experience, it is not a problem with my home network Wi-Fi bandwidth being too low.
