Don't use this. First off all, it doesn't work properly. All the proportions are wrong. The user experience is not even clunky, I wish it was. Second of all, after exiting the app, your computer is unusable. You can't see the mouse, making even turning it off and on again a pain, and a lot of programs are proportioned wrongly, at least on a 4K monitor.

The app has a great deal of potential but the right shift bug (which has gone unfixed for years now) is show-stopping. It makes it somewhere between ackward and unusable to type on physical keyboards. You essentially have to train yourself to only use the left shift key. There is another version on the Play Store, also by Microsoft, simply called "Remote Desktop" that has this issue fixed and also does not have the copy-n-paste issue. I'd suggest everyone use that app instead.

Honestly, it's working fine for a few minutes but immediately lost it's connection. It doesn't close the session, but the screen just freeze. Not my phone, but the remote desktop couldn't be controlled. The data traffic just lost. I'm using hostednetwork to acces my computer using wi-fi without internet on Windows 10. I've tried to every setting to keep my connection on in Windows remote desktop setting, but still doesn't fix the problem. What happen really?
