iRdesktop supports all Windows Versions that have support for Terminal Services respectively Remote Desktop Services out of the box.

You must know that Microsoft has removed Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) from the Windows Home and Starter editions. In order to access those Windows systems with any RDP client you can install our alternative Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services) solution called "Thinstuff XP/VS Terminal Server" (http://www.thinstuff.com/products/xpvs-server/). The good news is that iRdesktop users will get a big discount for a single-user XP/VS Terminal Server version which allows you to have 1 Remote Desktop connection in addition to your PC's console session even on Windows Home and Starter editions!
To get your discount code just follow the "Discount ..." link on the iRdesktop start screen.

Reviews

Needs to be updated
Alelei82Zagli

It’s a great app but it does not work on IOS 11. Would give it a 5 star if it did!


Quality application
Urkle0

This is definitely a nice quality application and works quite well for what little need I have for accessing RDP servers..(currently just a terminal server so I can clock in and out). What would be nice is a recompile to a universal application so I can get a more full screen use on my iPad.


iPad??
ChuckAZ

Very nice for a free product but it sure would be nice to see an iPad update soon....


Great app

A free working RDP client!
swartzrock

Thanks for porting this open source client over. Great job!


No crashes anymore on 3.x !
Lonely Penguin

Developer is fast to respond. The new version works again!!!! In addition the annoying bottom bar is removed which increases the screen size. I love the option to have two(or more) sessions connected in parallel.


Crashes on startup
Acthor

Used to be a great app, till the recent update.. Now it just crashes on launch on iOS 3.1.2.. Bad!!


iAds are an unwelcome addition
Terry Roussell

It's a great app, but the addition of iAds detracts from the app. They're just in the connection screen and not shown during the actual session (yet) but it's still very annoying, especially since this is a commercial company that sells a MS Terminal server replacement and this is their only client for the iDevices. Also, in future versions I'd like to see native iPhone 3 and 4, iPod touch, and iPad screen resolutions as an option so you don't have to scroll in the session. I have some windows apps that match the resolution of the iDevices but I'm not able to select a matching resolution in iRD so when I connect and run those apps I have a lot of unused desktop that scrolls around while trying to use the app. Perhaps a 'lock screen' switch would be nice to stop unwarranted movement .

Having trouble with this app - download the most recent software update for your IPhone & it should be fine. I did & all is working like it should be
