Serves its purpose – Chrome Remote Desktop Review

I have used this app for countless things, from tasks as simple as selecting new youtube queues of music, remotely installing software while in the restroom away from my desk, as well as exporting project files remotely so I can send them in emails. It works solidly for the most part. I’d like to see some bug fixes. Sometimes the remote “screen” feed doesn't sync up with whats on screen, forcing me to restart the app periodically. Also occasionally my computer will be in Dual desktop mode with 2 displays, and the app basically has a stroke any time I try to operate it thusly. I have also seen some other remote desktop apps with features to essentially turn your phone into a laptop trackpad/keyboard. I think that would be a superb feature as well. Furthermore, I have recently installed this on my new M1 mac. It usually works great, however there’s a bug that essentially renders my usual computer peripherals (mouse, keyboard) USELESS. My mouse and keyboard will not respond, and the only way to fix this is to re-engage the connection, and then promptly disconnect, thus breaking the feedback loop. Hope this review is helpful for people considering downloading the app, and for developers who need to address these issues. -WZRDH47
