Ratings and Reviews
Great app with a few annoying issues
Device: iPad Pro 11
OS: iPadOS 16.1
Bluetooth keyboard case
Using direct IP access
Problems:
1. When using a bluetooth keyboard, key presses are duplicated unless the keyboard icon is pressed/active. Changing another setting deactivates the keyboard icon, and it reverts to duplicating keys again.
2. Settings/Preferences are not preserved (at least not when using direct IP access instead of service mode). That means custom display or mouse settings have to be set every time you reconnect.
3. When the keyboard icon is active when using an external keyboard, the iOS language icon covers the arrow icon in the bottom right corner that collapses the Rustdesk toolbar. Fortunately, a sliver of the collapse icon is still visible underneath that (barely) allows for it to be pressed.
4. Previous direct IP sessions are not saved.
5. The Enter key does not work in the address bar. You have to type in the address and then manually press the arrow button to connect. A minor annoyance.
Fix those issues, and I'd easily give this client app 5 stars.
Now, in terms of feature requests, I'd really love to see an option to automatically switch the display/monitor to follow the remote window focus the same way AnyDesk does. That's very useful when connecting to a multi-monitor setup. Having to manually switch from one desktop to another can be rather tedious.
An Open Source alternative for remote desktop
Would you install a program that has complete access to every part of your computer? What if it was designed to be accessed remotely? There is a big trust problem with remote access software and open source is the solution.
RustDesk is still early in development, but already shows a lot of promise. The ability to easily host your own server is also extremely nice.
The availability of their mobile app is what allowed me to cancel my TeamViewer subscription and I am never looking back. Thank you to the folks at RustDesk for your hard work!
Works just fine!
I initially tested to connect a remote PC from my PC, it was excellent experience. Now I did just tried from my iPad Mini 5 to PC it did work just fine.
Thank you RustDesk, I am canceling my TeamViewer subscription now!
