You must know that Microsoft has removed Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) from the Windows Home/Basic editions. In order to access those Windows systems with any RDP client you have to install an alternative Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) solution. We recommend "Thinstuff XP/VS Terminal Server" (http://www.thinstuff.com/products/xpvs-server/)!
Latest reviews of RDP Remote Desktop iFreeRDP app for iPhone and iPad
Like the user interface much better than Microsofts but not as intuitive as Mocha RDP. Need the TS Gateway feature which works most of the time but seems to hang connecting to some sites where Microsofts works fine. Wish they had a user ID table like Microsoft to make it easy to change passwords and share gateway credentials.
Show!
It works fine but, top navigation bar is blocking the application menu bars, its not easy to switch between applications or closing. The navigation bar should be minimized to a circle in the middle of the screen like join.me menu.
Connects to windows 7 just fine! Nice gesture features too.
The app would have been really great except for the annoying fact that it would not recognize the space character when typing. This happens when I connect to an xrdp server running on Debian Linux. All other keys are recognized properly except for that and it really is annoying since its one of the best RDP clients around. I hope the developers can address this soon.
