Just had the "Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta" app update to be "Windows App Preview".

 

Not a fan of the name change "Windows App" as I don't think it really describes what it is doing but that's not so important.

 

The new app defaulted to big bulky tiles for machines. Looked like the toolbar had a tile view and a list view but then I discovered the "list view" was actually just smaller tiles and not a real list view. I have a LOT of machines on my list and this makes the app feel far more cumbersome. What is worse is that if you close the app and relaunch the "big tile" view or small tile "list" view is not saved. IMHO having the app remember which view you have is a MUST.

 

Please bring the old list view back as at least an option and please make the app remember the selected view between sessions.

1000x yes! This is a huge UX and productivity step backwards. List view is literally why I switched to MSRD Beta years ago. And not saving view state reminds me of a bug they fixed years ago.

Agree 100%. I hate the GUI. Seems like it was designed for the casual home user.

 

Icons are too big, no list view, minimum window size is too big, terrible keyboard-only UX, plus other things.
