On iPad 1.2.2 version worked smoothly for me for the last 12 month. But I updated recently to Version 1.2.7 and RustDesk cannot even launch. Can you please fix it? Thanks
RustDesk is quite literally the best, most feature rich Remote Desktop software I have ever used. The amount of features and the lightweight nature of this software makes it superior to TeamViewer and AnyDesk. I even got my entire former company to switch to RustDesk from Teamviewer and they have had only good things to say. The open source nature of this project sold me, but having used this software on all my devices (Windows, Mac, Linux), it works seamlessly and it’s safe to say I will never use another remote desktop software. Developers are doing gods work!
New update doesn’t let you connect using local IP.. nor external IDs and removed every saved connections you had Edit: after reinstalling the app, it works.. it’s a shame I lost the saved connections but at least now it saves local IP too
Device: iPad Pro 11 OS: iPadOS 16.1 Bluetooth keyboard case Using direct IP access Problems: 1. When using a bluetooth keyboard, key presses are duplicated unless the keyboard icon is pressed/active. Changing another setting deactivates the keyboard icon, and it reverts to duplicating keys again. 2. Settings/Preferences are not preserved (at least not when using direct IP access instead of service mode). That means custom display or mouse settings have to be set every time you reconnect. 3. When the keyboard icon is active when using an external keyboard, the iOS language icon covers the arrow icon in the bottom right corner that collapses the Rustdesk toolbar. Fortunately, a sliver of the collapse icon is still visible underneath that (barely) allows for it to be pressed. 4. Previous direct IP sessions are not saved. 5. The Enter key does not work in the address bar. You have to type in the address and then manually press the arrow button to connect. A minor annoyance. Fix those issues, and I'd easily give this client app 5 stars. Now, in terms of feature requests, I'd really love to see an option to automatically switch the display/monitor to follow the remote window focus the same way AnyDesk does. That's very useful when connecting to a multi-monitor setup. Having to manually switch from one desktop to another can be rather tedious.
Would you install a program that has complete access to every part of your computer? What if it was designed to be accessed remotely? There is a big trust problem with remote access software and open source is the solution. RustDesk is still early in development, but already shows a lot of promise. The ability to easily host your own server is also extremely nice. The availability of their mobile app is what allowed me to cancel my TeamViewer subscription and I am never looking back. Thank you to the folks at RustDesk for your hard work!
But I have one issue, I often try to scroll by using two fingers and end up moving the canvas (which I never need to do since I’m on an iPad) so an option to change what happens when you use two fingers would be nice sometimes there isn’t a scroll bar and when there is dragging that with the cursor is slower than moving two fingers
At first it was just the touch mouse option - which definitely limits the ability of usages - now it’s touch pad option as well… I click once, lightly, and instead it clicks twice. This is so unbelievably annoying and in many cases it becomes totally unusable for this reason. If not for that, I do like this app - it any issue deemed “unusable” gets no favors from me in a review…
I tested this app between my iPad Pro 12 inch and my iMac M1 24 inch. Installing the app seemed easier than installing Anydesk this morning. Anydesk used to be simpler to set up. Now it took several tries to allow Screen Recorder, and the unattended setup had been moved from the settings to the initial setup, which I missed. Rust is a strange name, but it guided me through the Security and Privacy permissions, which is better. It also has that older Anydesk look and feel. Now for the negatives: It either constantly stuck at the connecting screen, Or it stuck attempting to see the screen. I only saw the mouse cursor. Bummer. It is still very much a Beta product and not ready for prime time.
I’ve been trying RuskDesk for a couple of weeks and found a few issues. Luckily, they have been fixed but we are still on an old build from a year ago. Hopefully someone can push a new release soon!
I initially tested to connect a remote PC from my PC, it was excellent experience. Now I did just tried from my iPad Mini 5 to PC it did work just fine. Thank you RustDesk, I am canceling my TeamViewer subscription now!
literally swag 100 !!! whole thing is open source on github, you can set up your own servers, new update that broke it (just reinstall and itll work fine) but had a ui revamp from the boring google ui to awesome dark theme ,,,... im marryed it..,,.,;
As another person said, trust is important. Why does the app collect location data? Strange the website s both g about Chinese devs. Seems like a good operative to develop an open source free app and make it look all English and legit, while Chinese devs build the app that has remote access to your computers. Like they forgot to sign up a English dev name for rustdesk. Seems troublesome to me and opsec radar is pinging.
An open-source remote desktop application. The open source TeamViewer alternative. Source code: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk Doc: https://rustdesk.com/docs Please be reminded that this app only has the ability to control, and it does not have the functionality of being controlled or screen sharing. WARNING: YOU MAY BE BEING SCAMMED! If you are on the phone with someone you DON'T know AND TRUST who has asked you to install RustDesk, do not install and hang up immediately. They are likely a scammer trying to steal your money or other private information.
