About aRDP Pro: Secure RDP Client

Some people have complained of issues after a major upgrade of the FreeRDP library in v3.8.7. I've made sure to upload older versions of aRDP (APK files) going back to at least v3.6.5 here:

What are users saying about aRDP Pro: Secure RDP Client

G70%
by G####:

The best product out there for all your RDP needs, in my opinion, and I've tried a lot of them. And sadly wasted money on some. No extra shiz needs to be installed anywhere to be able to connect. bVNC is also an excellent product if you need something like that.

I70%
by I####:

There's a major security flaw with the app: it saves credentials even if the "Keep" option turned off. I've tried contacting author on the website with no reply.

U70%
by U####:

Great app! The only one I found that has RDP over SSH that works with Ubuntu. Also, the app author was quick to respond to my question.

G70%
by G####:

Love this app and the related ones by same author. I do online trading with a remote Windows Server 2008 VPS. Excellent support !!

R70%
by R####:

thank you, works perfectly!

R70%
by R####:

Works very well with Windows, Linux x11 / xrdp and even Raspberry Pi. Regularly use this app and recommend it. And it does NOT snoop on you like Micro$haft, that is to say no questionable over the top permissions and access.

T70%
by T####:

I think it's really interesting how this app works better with Xrdp than Microsofts own "Android RDP client" which simply stops after an unknown protocol error. I don't have that much use for RDP as of lately as I'm using SPICE more, but during the time I did use it, this app was the best. It allowed me to login on my linux terminal server, spawning (persistent) desktops remotely. If you're using Xrdp, this app is the best client for it. And I like the "SSH" option as it fits my use case perfectly.

Great dev. Great software. Bought pro of vnc and rdp clients.

J70%
by J####:

Apologies, switching back to RDP solution whilst I'm at it. Great dev!

Z70%
by Z####:

I use this with xrdp and x11rdp on linux and it's excellent value :-) I'd give 5 stars if you could swipe down for the back/home buttons rather than having the black bar take up extra space.

F70%
by F####:

I've tried virtually all of the other RDP clients on the Play Store and this seems to be the best of the bunch. One improvement I'd like to see is having a server browser where you can quickly choose which server you want to connect to in a list. Also, tapping am aRDP widget doesn't work for me. If I tap one, either I get a "couldn't connect" type message or the app crashes. I think it's because it's trying to create a VNC widget instead of an RDP one.

S70%
by S####:

Better than Microsoft's own RDP client for Android because it supports xRDP servers and RDP-over-SSH.

S70%
by S####:

I bought this because Microsoft's app doesn't allow custom resolution. I got it all setup and granted running at a higher resolution is going to cause slower performance but on a direct gigabit Ethernet connection I doubt it could be responsible for it taking 7 seconds to display Start screen from Desktop app when the same thing happens in nanoseconds with Microsoft's free app. Returned for a refund!

A70%
by A####:

This program better than official M$ RDP Client. This apps rarely not answer when we have problems with connection to work station by Check point MobileVPN.

R70%
by R####:

really really well done

Q70%

Great on Note3

Q70%
by Q####:

Works great with my ASUS Transformer's mouse. Supports NTLM-auth (secure auth).

Q70%
by Q####:

works crazy well

C70%
by C####:

This little app makes getting RDP over SSH going a breeze. Formerly I would have to install two or more apps to make the same thing happen. My only enhancement request would be adding support for WOL, just in case my RDP server is asleep. Nice work!!!!!

I love the multi-touch gestures.

It works, and it works well. I love the multi-touch gestures.
