With this new release to enhance the mouse you killed the Apple pen. Double click doesn’t work.
Not working with iPad Pro magic keyboard
WyleZ2
I haven’t tried Horizon with another keyboard, but the space-bar on the magic keyboard resets mouse cursor, so it’s completely impossible to use with each other. This is a fatal flaw since the magic keyboard has been out for a while!
Much better
Sue Cross47
Works well now, thank you. I am able to use as my primary WFH device when paired with an external trackpad keyboard. I followed another user’s tips about turning off touch settings.
Close, But Needs Work
bluesparkhitsyourbrain
The good stuff first: Yes, this works with the Magic Keyboard, including its trackpad. What some reviewers who have said the opposite don’t realize is that you need to *disable* “Windows Native Touch Gestures” the app’s internal preferences. Why you need to do this is beyond me, and there’s no explanation of this anywhere in the app, but that’s the answer. Still problematic, however, is: (1) the fact that the app has weird on-screen widgety elements that cover parts of the Windows interface (super-annoying and unnecessary, especially on a small screen), (2) the fact that many normal keyboard combinations don’t work (even basic things such as shift-selecting multiple items in a list), (3) the fact that the preferences are so non-descriptive as to be useless, (4) the fact there is no “cancel” optio if the virtual environment is failing to load, and (5) the fact that the app for some reason has to reload your virtual environment if you leave for just a few minutes to use a different app. There should be a way to keep it in memory all the time when the app is open. But can I get my work done on an 11” iPad screen with a Magic Keyboard? Yes, I can, and that’s pretty great. Just fix the above issues, please.
Broke

Horizon app broke with the latest update. “Disconnected from server” non-stop. I verified that the resource is up and active. Mouse support is horrible. Needs to reflect the traditional mouse on the desktop. Running IPadOS.
Good for remote work on iPad Pro
Hrognis
This app is great for remote work on an iPad Pro since I use this as my daily driver rather than a Windows based mobile device. Something I’d love to see added would be the Magic Keyboard accessory for the iPad Pro — native gestures, such as scrolling with the touch pad isn’t recognized which would be awesome to have.
Battery drain
Vasisht Srinivasan
Over the last month or so, I’ve noted a HUGE battery drain when this app is running, to the point where my iPad loses about 25% battery life with < 1 hour of use
NEEDS mouse support
Rthinchey
This app would be 5 stars if it could use the new mouse support with iPad OS. Right now it’s pretty minimal.
No support for external keyboard
Jase2001ny
As other reviewers have stated up until now many used the onscreen keyboard and touch. Now with implementation of the mouse and trackpad that apple has brought this app seriously needs an uphaul to make it useable. In its current state using ti with the apple keyboard and trackpad is is horrible. I use this in a work environment and cant even do a simple task such as add a space when typing nw with an external; keyboard. I wouldn’t think this should be a big ask. It is geared towards using a full desktop on a mobile device. Why would basic functionality such as this be so hindered. BT keyboards have been able to be used with an ipad for years now. The introduction of mouse and keyboard support and the apple keyboard trackpad combination should have been added but now to make this a complete mobile desktop solution. Please fix this ASAP!
