Comments on Chrome Remote Desktop for Android

★★★★☆ Samson Aiyepada · Aug 3, 2026

The app has been great so far and, objectively, it deserves 5 stars. Subjectively, though, I'd love to see one improvement: two keyboard options. 1. The current laptop-style keyboard. 2. My phone's native Android keyboard. Personally, I mainly use Chrome Remote Desktop for typing, and I'm much faster with my phone's keyboard because it's what I'm used to. Having the option to switch between the two would make the app even better for users like me. If that's not possible, it's still great.

★★★★★ Austin Amaechi · Sep 16, 2026

I'm really wondering why this RDA is so underrated here on Google store. This for me is the best. It's got no stressful setup, and you can use it even over mobile data and different Wi-Fi, it is as fast as anydesk, and it is end-to-end encrypted. People who rated this poorly have to come update their ratings cos I feel many people are missing out here. Thanks google.

★★★★★ Jahanzeb Ehsan · Aug 9, 2026

Easy to operate and no lag, smoothly control your desktop from mobile from anywhere

★★★★★ Mundal Johnney · Jul 22, 2026

I love this app and I ways with keep up the good work

★☆☆☆☆ Kevin Robair · Sep 27, 2026

Vexing and virtually useless instructions, actually very typical of Google. Finally figured out how to get it to work, after lucky guesswork BUT, this was a waste of time, minimizing the app forces a renegotiation of the connection, which defeats the whole purpose of the app, since you *have to be at the remote computer* to renegotiate

★☆☆☆☆ Manikandan Ravichandran · Sep 4, 2026

Clipboard Paste Bug When I copy multiline text from Android and paste it into Windows using Chrome Remote Desktop, each new line acts like an Enter key. For example, a 50-line message can be sent as 50 separate messages. Please fix this. Multiline text should paste as one message with line breaks, not as multiple Enter presses.

★★☆☆☆ Isaac S (Moses) · Jul 24, 2026

This app is genuinely terrible the text entry only works half the time on your phone if you navigate away from the screen it totally freezes, and then you have to disconnect and reconnect

★☆☆☆☆ Ethan Hanson · Sep 30, 2026

Thing opens in desktop browser mode inside the app now. Unusable. Annoying.
