This is the first version of the popular Windows Phone app - PC Remote. We are implementing more features to get parity with phone app. So stay tuned for upcoming updates.

It could be better. Solid colors and white icons to match the rest of Windows would be welcome. It would also be nice to have pinned media controls or something similar. What I am doing with this app is using my tablet as a remote control for my PC that is attached to my TV, so it's basically a remote control. This app could mostly get more attractive and user friendly. It's functional very good. But only good.

Helps me be lazy! Great job

It seems to work like it supposed to a little laggy but that's to be expected.

Looks really good so far, can you add the volume sensitivity like in Windows Phone

If there is no way to connect to the server from a windows 7 machine then this should be pointed out beore download/install
22 January 2013
I've never used the phone version, so I'm unbiased to that scenario. You get a very responsive virtual keyboard and mouse. It's like ipKVM. Nice work imho..

This is Win8 version of the popular Windows Phone app which has more than a million downloads. We are actively working on adding more features.

Hi DJ - You can install .net framework from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
Matthew - The next update for the app will allow you to open apps when you go into remote.

This app is great on my phone, and it's great on my Surface! So glad you made a Windows RT version!

good

Great App. Love that it uses the same application the WP8 version. Looking forward to updates.

FINALLY!!!!! I've been waiting for this app to hit RT, I don't even have to use it to know ill love it. It is the ULTIMATE remote desktop/controller app ever. Once he puts the 'over the internet' feature in, it'll be even better. No more putting your pc at risk opening it to hackers looking for port 3389 on your router, no more RDP gateways and no more "crap, whats my IP address at home?"
I am a power user admin type guy and this app fills every need on WP8 and now it has a bigger screen :)
I read some of the 1 star reviews and I have ti 'lol' at all the idiots who complain this doesn't work. ITS USER ERROR. Plain and simple. Sell your Surface (better yet, mail it to me for free) and get an iPad because Apple products are for people who shouldn't own tech cause they are TO DUMB.
I can connect over the internet using the phone version with only ONE BAR of signal.

Does exactly what it says. Many complaints seem to think this is a remote desktop app, it's not, it's a virtual Mouse and keyboard. Works perfectly for my media center pc for browsing internet etc. That the remote control lacks in functionality, without having to get up and turn on my Bluetooth keyboard. Not to mention the awesome eye candy this provides when friends come over and I control the pc with my Surface.
6 December 2012
It has a bit of catching up to do to match its Windows Phone counterpart, but I'm thrilled to have this app on my Surface!!! Keep up the good work!
3 December 2012
I thought it was an app like remote desktop...I was wrong. It doesn't show you the screen, only let you move the mouse etc. Pretty useless.
21 January 2014
Works awesome
20 January 2014
Overall setup was easy and worked as expected once installing server software on another PC I wanted to play and control music. However, I noticed my fan blaring at full speed when running the app and checked that it's using 100% of the processor when the app is in focus (and on the Spotify window in particular), so obviously some bugs to fix and improvements to be made. It would be useful if it allowed using keyboard bindings for play, forward, etc., like most other modern apps (e.g., the actual Spotify application).

Works great once I set a static IP. The only thing I wish was different is the Netflix volume control. It does not actually control the Netflix volume, it controls the PC's master volume. Other than that it does everything I want and more.

Love using the surface as a virtual keyboard for my pc. Great job on this app
28 May 2013
very good

If you are running a version of windows 7 Pro and up you will have this options built into windows and there is no need to use this app that does not even work.
19 January 2013
I have a PC connected to a large television that I use for movies and whatnot. This is a perfect way to control the computer without the hassle of a keyboard and mouse.
30 December 2012
We use this all the time to control my PC while in the living room!! It would be great if you could control the mouse using the track pad on the type cover though
26 December 2012
First, please make a remote server for Windows RT! That would be perfect for presentations on the road, use of the Surface RT as a TV media player on the road, etc. Now, for the app a it stands, it lacks much of the Windows Phone 8 equivalent app features...(i.e. no desktop view (critical), where is the camera control, powerpoint control, etc). Like what you guys are doing though and willing to pay for these apps...you are doing a good job of keeping them simple and functional.

Don't download this app

Wow! I'm in the process of switching from Android to Windows and wanted to get an alternative to Unified Remote. PC Remote is at least as good, and has a better interface! I've been happy with the WP version of PC Remote, and find this WinRT version runs perfectly on my Dell Venue 8 Pro, and looks even better than on the phone. I'll be buying the Pro version on the phone, and donating for this version on the tablet. Thanks for developing for Windows!
