Pros and cons of Remote Desktop Mobile app for iPhone and iPad

Remote Desktop Mobile app good for

This is so easy to add PCs. I have used to connect to my Raspberry Pi NAS. Works great!
This is great! I love how I feel like Im using Windows on my iPad via RD. I dont notice much lag when using it on my local wifi.
Runs smoothly, is intuitive, and very handy. Great app. I use it quite often and have never had any issues.
This app is a lifesaver when my laptop isnt functioning or Ive left it somewhere and I need to connect to my data and programs from a remote location. (The pointer requires adjusting to - but this is minor.)
I was using TeamViewer but it was too naggy. This client requires direct access to the remote IP address but I find that it just works much better. You can save your username and password so you dont have to enter them each time. So far no complaints!!
It took a little time for it to connect, even gave me a warning that if may not work with any OS earlier than Vista. Gave it a try and I was able to use it. So far its better than splashtop, especially since you dont have to install anything new on your desktop you are connecting to. I didnt really give it a full run, but I was able to click on things and type, cant ask for more. Good job Microsoft!

Some bad moments

Since the last update, the connection disconnects very quick without user input. Should at least be an option to set the user timeout. Hardware keyboards finally seem to be working better though. Still some problems there with combination keystrokes (shift-delete).
This app when it works is amazing and a huge time saver. However there is a huge bug that occurs when you disconnect from a machine. When I disconnect from the destination computer about 20% of the time the monitors will be disabled on the destination computer forever and no matter what I do they will not go back active causing me to loose work. I have to reboot to get my monitors back. I have tried disconnecting from the computer everyway you can via the app and the results are the same. I independently checked 3 other computers and they all have the same issue. I would submit this as a bug but Microsoft suggestion website is overrun with "ideas" and not actual bugs. So for now I cant recommend this app.
As soon as you activate this it locks the remote computer. Terrible idea!
Cant find anything on web , it connects and then stops with this error and disconnects
Every time app updates you get a in-app nag screen. Annoying and unnecessary.
After trying this app, i confess X2 app is far more usefull. Zooming is not intuitive and convenient. Sorry ms for the bad comment.
