Comments on Chrome Remote Desktop for Android

★★★★★ Crystal Morabito · Oct 23, 2026

I use my Samsung Chromebook OS Titan laptop computer to connect to my HP 2700 printer

★★★★★ Michael · Aug 3, 2026

So my sister uses my chromebook all the time and ive gotten sick of it so I secretly took it and downloaded the apps and hooked them right up. Boom I can see her screen pause and unpause stuff and do lots more. Real good security. Also its probably just a little lag here and there and to moniter the laptop it's not the best but I can identify easily

★★★★★ Jahanzeb Ehsan · Aug 9, 2026

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

★★★★☆ 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.

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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ A · Oct 2, 2026

This app used to be good now after downloading it it says you also need to download Google Chrome and entirely separate app for it to work. Useless.
