Options for Resolution

Great to see the new Android app. This will really help out in a pinch and integrating it with the DOD makes it even sweeter.

Ok, so I just got a new phone that has a 4k screen. As you can imagine I can't read anything when connecting to a server considering this is a very high res for a 5.7" screen. It would be great if you could add the ability to simulate alternate/non-native resolutions.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your feedback.

As you mentioned, I can see that the text is very small. Have you tried zooming ?

Yes, zooming works ‘in a pinch’ as well. Hahah…. But I do have to pinch several times to get to a level that is readable before I start panning all over the place. So this does work but just not ideal.

Hi Chris,

A new version should be released next week with several improvements.

Please let us know if you see an improvement or not.

Great! Looking forward to seeing this app mature! I'll check in once I've had a chance to play with the new version.

Hi Chris,

The next release will support the remote desktop size value that is set in RDP connections.

Previously, only the default value was supported (which was the Android device's resolution).

In the Android settings section on your device, you will also be able to set a custom resolution for RDP connections that will override the remote desktop size value of all the connection that you open on your device.

Best Regards,
