Review Summary
Users appreciate Chrome Remote Desktop for its efficient, reliable remote access, clean interface, mobile usability, and free service compared to competitors. However, many report issues after recent updates that restrict simultaneous keyboard and mouse input, cause the app to block control when macros or accidental mouse movements occur, and bugs like disappearing remote PCs and connection errors. Forced updates and lack of older OS support also frustrate users. These cons significantly impact the app's previously praised functionality.
Pros
- Efficient and reliable remote access for home office and remote assistance.
- Clean, practical, and easy to use interface, even on mobile devices.
- Free alternative to paid remote desktop apps like TeamViewer or AnyDesk.
- Supports remote control across multiple devices with good usability.
Cons
- Recent updates limit simultaneous use of keyboard and mouse or block input when macros or vibrations occur, severely reducing usability.
- Errors and bugs such as not showing all remote PCs, devices disappearing from account, or connection failures.
- No way to disable forced updates or problematic new features that break previous functionality.
- Lack of support for older OS versions (e.g., Windows 7) and some hardware (e.g., Mac Mini).
