Remote desktop on Windows Phone

In April Microsoft released a preview of their Remote Desktop app for Windows Phone which enables you to remote control a PC or server using RDP and control it using multi-touch and Windows gestures. The app has just been updated to version 8.1.2 and improves the ability to connect to your home PC by name, has a resized remote keyboard based on the device size and the usual bug fixes.

It is a very handy app to have with you in case you need to get on to server. The app is free from the Windows Phone Store (requires Windows Phone 8.1).

Release 8.1.2 includes the following updates:

• Improved ability to connect to your home PC by name

• Resized the remote keyboard based on the device size

• Bug fixes and other improvements
