Blurs all windows except the focused window. Cannot work side by side on large screens. USB forward doesn't work, it does not recognize card readers.

The mouse cursor is not aligned with the remote system unless the app is set to full screen. When windowed, the remote system thinks the cursor is about a quarter inch lower than it appears.

This app is AMAZING! It works on my chromebook just like it does on my Windows 10 machine. There is no difference plus chrome OS is safer to use than Win10. It's a win-win for me :-)

IT WORKS! It doesn't but it does. As others have stated the way to get it to work is: 1. Download it from the VMWare website (crx file) 2. Right click the CRX file and open it as if it's a zip file. 3. Copy the contents of the CRX file to a new folder elsewhere created by you 4.

This app has been going backwards for a while now and has proven to be less reliable. There is little to no help or support.

The Chromebook version of this app specifically will fire Access Denied and Session Expired errors frequently in the middle of VM sessions. This is unreliable and unusable.

I just installed the app and it keeps crashing and leaving a white screen. i can't go any further than that. i am not going to spend money on a Windows computer when my Acer chromebook is brand new. This needs to be fixed ASAP!!

Been using this for about an hour now. So far, works as well on my Chromebook as on my Windows 10 machine. No issues.

For the most part, this application works fairly well. I have done most of my work with the Chromebook and this client. However, there are times, such as initial logging in, where all I get is a blank screen. This forces me to use a different computer to log in. After that, there doesn't seem to be a lot of difficulty using the client. I do realize, from reading a number of reviews, that VMWare is slow to do anything about these issues if they respond at all.
