On the computer you want to access remotely, open Chrome and visit the Chrome Remote Desktop website Follow the instructions to set up your computer for remote access On your iOS device, open the app and tap on any of your online computers to connect.

I just followed the instructions and was able to remotely access my MacBook Air from my iPad within minutes.

The only problem, however, is that the on-screen keyboard within the app as well as BT keyboard support is VERY limited.

How limited, you ask Well, the arrow keys dont work, so typing is kind of wonky and interrupted with frequent tapping to put the cursor where you want it.

Pressing delete will work as a backspace, but pressing fndelete does not work, neither do any other fn shortcuts.

Chrome Desktop Remote App Update Keyboard Support

Google, thanks for the free product, but please update keyboard support Thanks.

It bugs me quite a bit that they havent thought to do it yet because it is nessessary How is anyone supposed to use Esc or any of the other essential keys A 4 layer keyboard would be great, first layer has the letters, backspace, ShiftCapsLock, space bar, returnenter and the main punctuation marks ( like most regular keyboards); And again like most keyboards there would be a second and third layer of numbers and other symbols and then ANOTHER layer that has all the Esc, Ctrl, Shift, Windows, Tab, Print Screen, F1-F12 buttons among others.

I hope you would take this suggestion into consideration because it would be so helpful to most of not all users of the Chrome Remote Desktop app.

Im not on the go much and when I do end up on the go I either bring my laptop with me or have no use for it.

There are only a few things that I would say could be done with the app: - Latency can be reduced.

I have a feeling it is something to do with the app, because it will lag on my iPod while my laptop is running quite fine.

Add mouse wheel, left click, and right click buttons off to the side when using the mouse.

That would be a nice addition and add more functionality to the mouse.

Fix the mouse sync.

When I move the mouse on my iPod, it is in sync with my laptop, but when I move the mouse on my laptop, it does not sync with the mouse on my iPod.

Chrome Desktop Remote App Full Screen Support

Add full screen support.

I noticed that apps in full screen will not appear on my iPod.

Earlier I said I like to toy around with it.

This goes along with the mouse sync part, but it would be nice if the mouse in the app would go to the center of the screen when playing games.

It makes it a little hard to play games when, depending on where your mouse is, you constantly make a hard left.

Oh well If you did these things, it would still be worth more than 5 stars Keep up the good work, Google.
