Why is there no Remote Desktop App for Windows Phone 8? You would think, that would be an app they would not forget to include.
While on Android, I had an awesome app called PhoneMyPC. I could control my PC (and others) using my phone and the proprietary program installed on the PC. The tray icon on the PC could even be hidden. It was great for keeping an eye on my kids use of the PC, great for setting up the webcam and seeing what my dogs were doing during the day, and great for when I was away and my wife had a problem with the laptop. It was one of the first things I looked for when I jumped to WP8 - but nothing. All of the apps I've seen require you to be on the same WiFi network. To me, that's useless. If I'm in the room on the same network, why would I need my phone when I could just go to the PC and do what needs to be done? PhoneMyPC used your data plan to communicate.
Anything like that on WP8 that maybe I've overlooked?
They are at least 5 apps doing the job, did you search the app store?While on Android, I had an awesome app called PhoneMyPC.
