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.

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

★☆☆☆☆ TaienV · Jul 31, 2026

Google's products continue to degrade in quality across the board. Bugs, handicaps set at the whim of copyright holders, and general restriction by certain websites have made this app useless. Google bends over backwards for anyone who pays them money and the cancerous "copyright industry" has paid enough to get Google to degrade this app to not show video or sound when remote controlling a PC that happens to be playing Netflix or any other stream. Not enough room here to list all the other.

★☆☆☆☆ Daniel · Aug 8, 2026

Web app now instead of a native Android app, which ruined the mobile experience. I can no longer use cursor mode or directly input text with my device's keyboard, I'm given a clunky text field to "insert" text with and a horrid on-screen keyboard. The UI clutters small screens. The change to web app was wholly unnecessary, but раjееts are obsessed with turning everything into web apps for "efficiency sааr", that's also how Microsoft turned the Windows 11 start menu into a laggy unusable mess.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ Brian C · Jul 20, 2026

Over the past week it has been spotty at best! Doesn't seem to work 1 min then an hour later it works. It should consistently work. I have tried mobile data and Wi-Fi. I get the same result as it can't connect to get past the app Icon screen. Please fix!
