Update, First of all, the Dev feedback so quickly is much appreciated. Useful app but please help with keyboard issue and split screen! RDP from a Windows machine to same Linux box works perfectly. Both physical and onscreen keystrokes do not go through. I can connect to the Linux box and point/click on things fine, but cannot get any keyboard input through to it. Worked perfectly great for a while, but at some point an update broke the keyboard input. I used this for a while on my iPad to access a Linux system in the house. I use VNC app for those which is awesome on those. Have not tried on any Linux boxes lately, so my original review may/may not still apply. I mostly use it to apply updates and reboot Windows machines now. Overall this app runs smooth and a good way to jump into a machine for quick tasks. Looked for options in settings hoping I could set it back, but no go. Not sure why this changed but liked the old way better. But now a right-click is apparently two-taps using two fingers? I use to just tap once to click, but now one tap does nothing and I have to tap twice to click. We have nothing to share at this time.This app got better over time and I was really happy with it, but now it appears a recent update completely changed the mouse clicks. Update: We finally received an update from a Microsoft spokesperson who told us, "We are always looking at additional services based on what we hear from our customers. We have emailed Microsoft to get clarification on any plans for a Windows Phone Remote Desktop app. News just in Microsoft continues stabbing Windows Phone by releasing remote desktop clients for iOS & Android. However, the press release did not mention a Windows Phone Remote Desktop app which has puzzled some people on Twitter. Microsoft certainly seems to be open to releasing its software products on many different platforms, which is something that Google has definitely not shown for the Windows operating systems. Think about 'seamless windows' or 'applications portal'. The OS X Remote Desktop app provides even more functionality that you would expect from a 'desktop app'. The iOS Remote Desktop app supports iOS 6 and 7 and the Android Remote Desktop app is posed to support Android versions as far back as Gingerbread. When you see the clients you'll notice they are pretty sweet and not as basic or as 'v1' as you might expect. While Microsoft is not talking much about these new apps, Michel Roth, who is a Microsoft MVP on the desktop services side, posted some more information on his blog site today. The company will also release new versions of its Remote Desktop apps for Windows, Windows RT and OS X. The apps are supposed to be released later this month but Microsoft has yet to offer a specific release date or pricing. Microsoft very briefly mentioned the iOS and Android apps in a press release that mostly talked about the company's cloud-based enterprise software services. The company has officially announced plans to release iOS and Android Remote Desktop apps that will connect to the operating system for the first time. Microsoft will officially launch Windows Server 2012 R2 on October 18th, but it looks like the company is going to be offering some extra incentives for people to use their latest Server OS.
