It works, kinda. Really janky how it just closes sessions when anything at all happens on your phone. I should be able to answer a phone call without reconnecting to a server.

Took away the button to control mouse preferences and pull up the on screen keyboard. This had made this unusable.

I figured this thing would run like a turd on my old phone, but it actually works really well. It's not the smoothest app of all time, but it does work almost as well as it does on a PC. I'm able to load up my company's VDI and check and work on various things, mostly text-based, when I'm out and about if someone has a question. Haven't tried it with anything remotely graphics intensive, get it?, but it does work quite well

Recently I am unable to log in to the vdi when I use my phone data. It takes to long to load and the screen is just white. The vdi opens normally when I use Wifi. I also tested it by using mobile Hotspot from my other phone and the vdi opened up. So i think the issue is that it only works when the phone is on wifi.

It was awful. I need to use distant Chrome browser just to check some info, and I cannot log into an account on the website just because your app doen't let any keyboard appear! The image doesn't fit the screen, also, which is extremely annoying. The pixels look like an old Mario game under the water... That's so bad. Won't recommend to anyone. I'm highly disappointed, as I've used your desktop app and it was fine, but THIS :(((

So close... I have the duo... And besides taking forever to load up compared to my old phone, it works amazingly well. All of the touch features work and the pen is smooth, it doesn't recognize the buttons or that a pen is close to the screen which would take this to the next level but it's better than their windows app. If you put the desktop in tablet mode windows snap to the break in the screens, I wish the app would recognize the screens as two screens so desktop mode was more usable.

There are 3 months and NO reply. I see other user having the same problem... Hello, I have Samsung A70. After upgrading to Android 10. Your App stopped working. Message displayed is: 'Unable to connect to server. Operation in progress. Try again.' I try to uninstall and re install your latest Version. This did not work. Any ideas please. It stopping me to work☹.Not haappy!

Not working anymore on samsung Note 8. When I click on the standard desktop it stalls out and asks if I want to continue to wait for it to connect but it just crashes. Uninstalled several times and cleared phone cache. Tried both host name and ip of server and played with security setting, no go. Please update

I am consistently having the VDI freeze and boot me out saying the Network timed out. It really is a MAJOR compliance issue with my company if my ability to save notes and other data is compromised like that. It's better than not being able to work at all but it is wicked frustrating. Some of us stand to lose very large bonuses and other financial incentives over stuff like this. Needs a fix IMMEDIATELY.

There is an issue with using the keyboard input when Samsung Pass is turned on. There is no way to get around it and keyboard input is blocked. This happens 100% of the time in Samsung DeX mode and must be fixed. Camera is held to original orientation vs. using the correct camera rotation release API for DeX.
