Chrome Remote Desktop

Updated the app, forced me into using the website because the app has “depreciated,” and then the website says I don’t have permission to use it. App is completely useless now.

I love feeling the frustration of finding out something has being totally abandoned several years ago yet still gains something by watching people effectively discover the reality that they’re face plant into a brick wall due to someone painting a door on it as a practical joke

I’ve been using Chrome Remote Desktop to remote into several workstations from my home office and well on the other side of the globe. There might be other applications with slightly faster response time, but nothing comes close to the reliability of this application. It’s quite a shame that the current application which has very nice UI And layout- is being replaced with a Web app whose keyboard and UI are not as nice.

Google has stopped maintaining this app since 2021.

The native app works perfectly. The PWA version that they’re trying to force us to install does not. Please remove the deprecation warning and reverse the decision to deprecate the iOS app and push the installable web app.

Oughhhhh you know me i looove looking at app deprecation screens and let me tell you woaaahhh hochi mamama this hits the spot

The new remote desktop client doesn’t allow multiple media to play while controlling your desktop with IOS. For example music and videos are required to be paused while controlling your desktop.

This app was genuinely perfect for my needs, it was finally to a point where it was a daily driven tool. With the depreciation of this app, I am looking into alternatives for remote support. The web interface on mobile for chrome remote desktop is just a pain to use and navigate. Constant accidental refreshes when using the trackpad mode, the fullscreen is buggy, the performance has tanked, if you use remote desktop on different machines using different emails its now a jumbled mess to switch between them. I am on an iphone 15 pro max running the latest ios, I have over 900mbps up and down, the performance is just due to it being a poorly optimized web interface. Very disappointed that google sent the app to their graveyard, yet again…

Deprecate things people like, and push things that people hate. Solid business plan. 🙃 Good luck

This app used to be incredible and super handy, over the the years it takes more and more attempts to actually be able to interact with desktop instead of stare at it. It takes 3 or 4 attempts/crashes to log into the same computer that used to be instant. My devices and network are no slouch either.
