Thank you for supporting my work and GPL open-source software by donating! By buying this app even though it's open source, you are ensuring the continued development of the project, and rewarding Google for creating the Android platform that we all love.
Some people have complained of issues after a major upgrade of the FreeRDP library in v3.8.7. I've made sure to upload older versions of aRDP (APK files) going back to at least v3.6.5 here:
