Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. One of the best apps I've ever dealt with from Microsoft. It would be great if it contained dark theme but that's not really crucial. Thanks a lot to the dev team. Here's a major issue that I've recently discovered: an app drawer can't find this app when using any of these words: rdp, mstsc, remote, desktop. Please fix.

Changing my previous review to a single star. The official Microsoft RDP app used to be the best of the free RDP clients for Android, but there is a critical bug that has remained unfixed for over a year. When using a physical keyboard - USB / Bluetooth / etc - the right shift key sticks. Unless you retrain yourself to only use the left shift key, doing any work is difficult and entering passwords is impossible. If you need a RDP client, then don't use the official Microsoft one, it will just frustrate you and lock your account out.

Works great, free, secure and built-in to Windows 10. Just turned on the remote desktop setting in Windows and was able to use this for everything I needed. Minus one star for being a little quirk regarding using scrollbars on the far left while trying to use the in-app keyboard. The screen seems to cut off the margins when the keyboard is open.
