Not sure if this has been posted, but working great for me as a remote desktop app on my Note 3 - Microsoft Remote Desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android

Thanks

How does this compare to teamviewer? (anyone can answer if they have experience in both)

I consider Teamviewer to be the gold standard between the two. If you compare features and facilities.

They are different type of solution to achieve the same goal. With remote desktop app, you need to make port forwards on the outward facing router pointing to the server ,and have a static IP/ dynamic DNS to get it working. However this is the smoothest rdp protocol app I have used. Advantage is it's native windows DNA that you are getting access to

For team viewer, I don't do anything special, all my servers connected using the same login. On the android app, I can login, and a list of my computer pops up. No fancy footwork required.

What do guys think of the Microsoft office mobile app? It's free. When I first installed it, I thought it was going to be crap. But it isn't. And darn'it, I prefer to hate them.

For those using Smart Launcher, you may want to look at Clock Calendar Widget + to replace the default clock widget. It alleviates one of the biggest problems I had with Smart Launcher of not having a quick view of the calendar (unfortunately, not free).

I use a combination of Quickoffice (Google) and Microsoft Office. I've tried them all and settled on this combo.

I only use Quickoffice myself, but may be tempted to also use Microsoft Office. At least I have it if need be...

is it possible to slow down the connection speed fed to apps using another app? If so which app can do that?

If you dislike the current tendency of devs to follow gmail's conversation view in landscape mode (especially awful on small tablets like the Nexus 7), have a look at Blue Mail

It's an update of the camera app on the Nexus. Quite a cool app with the ability to change focus and dof after taking the photo. Been playing with it this evening.
