Review title of AndrewLimited to 5 active sessions

This program *would* be a perfect replacement for the now defunct Remote Desktop Connection Manager, but once you've connected to 5 machines, the app fails to connect to any more, and cites a "protocol error". There has never been such a limitation on the classic Remote Desktop client or any other 3rd party RDP client, so what is up with that?

Review title of TimMuch improved, still some bugs.

This app is much improved over the early days. The feature is snap and window scaling. Now, you can group connections and open in multiple windows. It still has some bugs. Quite often can't connect to a remote session unless the app is restarted. Copy and past is flaky. Despite this, I prefer it over mstsc.exe.

Review title of ScottGreat when it works

I love how easy it is to change the screen size but the program has been is now suffering from a strange issue that seems to be associated with the citrix receiver desktop application. If I go into my citrix receiver session while this is open, remote desktop magnifies and refuses to get any smaller, if you click the magnification button it just gets bigger! I have to close the application are reopen it in order to fix it. This is extremely frustrating. This just started happening this week.

Review title of Matthieuit just got seriously worse

years after years, Microsoft Remote Desktop for windows still hasn't caught up with the brilliant MacOS version. How could Microsoft tolerate that its own product is seriously better on a competing OS than on its own OS!!! Edit 09/05/17: The latest version just screwed up the keyboard mapping between the host (windows 2012 R2) and the guest (windows 10) computers. special characters or accented letters are all wrong now. I can't even guess what keyboard MS Remote Desktop is trying to use. Luckily the old remote desktop connection (mstsc.exe) still works.
