Pros and cons of Chrome Remote Desktop app for iPhone and iPad
Chrome Remote Desktop app good for
And it was a buggy mess. Never wanted to connect, wouldnt refresh when you pulled the screen down, and at times it took forever to connect, if it ever connected at all. But after this update, and it works much better. The animations are a smooth 60fps. It connects in less than three seconds now, and the user interface looks great! Thanks Google, ?
The newest update for Chrome Remote Desktop has made this incredibly useful app even better.
I use CRD daily and the older version on iOS was extremely old and buggy. This runs @ 60fps, you can now choose between trackpad and touchscreen mode, it holds the connection while multitasking and offers intelligent iPhone X support.
Thank you so much Google, i thought CRD might have been on its way to retirement internally. It’s a Fantastic tool.
I use this regularly. At least 10 times a day.
The latest update is great, it’s faster and more smooth for me. One problem is that the return (enter) key no longer functions for mobile. iPhone7+
The update on 4/1/18 greatly improved the app. However the remote machine is still vulnerable during connection session. I’d like to see windows authentication integration and it would be the perfect RDP app.
Im finally impressed google, since you updated the app with a long waited audio support feature, it really catches up to the android version of this app!
Thank you for adding the Audio Support for Windows and Linux Systems.
Some bad moments
After the update, the app ceased to connect through LTE.
WIFI locally continues to work. Without LTE working its now essentially a Chrome Local Desktop...
The app worked with previous version but after update won’t work unless I am on same network as my computers which is worthless. Please fix this issue.
Just updated to latest version and can no longer control my Mac (10.13.3). You can still connect and mouse cursor moves, but on the iPad/iPhone, the image doesn’t update, it stays a static image of the first frame that was there when you connects to the Mac. Chrome and CRD on the Mac are latest version. DO NOT INSTALL!
Works great on WiFi but cannot connect to any of my computers over cellular network... it worked fine on previous version, please fix ASAP!
Seriously? To send a ctrl-alt-del you now need to hit menu, settings, send crtl-alt-del. So convenient and intuitive/s
Also, each computer defaults to touch mode and you have to change it to trackpad on each one if that’s what you want.
Was working fine for a long time. The update from last weekend broke it. Now I login the screen on my iPad is blank or stalled with first screen. When I move mouse and click, I can see the host computer actually got them, but the screen on iPad never updates.
I did go to the host computer and made sure I updated the extension as well as granting whatever new permission it asked.
