Was working fine till end of August / beginning of Sept (2020). No new edition of this app, so have to assume it has something to do with an update in Google or Chrome. Maybe wasn't the best for extended / detailed work, but it was reliable and easy to use for quick tasks like looking something up or grabbing a file. In the last couple weeks I haven't been able to connect to either remote computer that I have set up unless I'm on the same network. If I'm on the same network, then I'm close enough to use the actual computer I'm trying to connect to rendering this useless. I've cleared the cache on phone and computers. I've uninstalled / reinstalled. Nothing seems to work. At best, it will display "connecting" for a while before saying the remote computer is not responding and give an unexpected error message. Usually, however, as soon as I open the app, it will say there is nothing set up to connect to. If I could figure out which update broke it, I'd roll back to the previous version, but I'm not even sure what changed. I was using this several times a week, but now have to find some other app / company to use. Very disappointing.

Worked fine until recently, when the new web app was released. Now it either connects with a blank screen or just doesn't connect at all. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my PC, the web app, or this app, but no matter what I still can't use it until I find a way to fix it. A visual update on this app would be nice too, this is looking pretty dated now.

No issues with keyboard and mouse, but a huge pain to control with only the touch screen of your phone. Easy to set up, actually there are hardly any settings to speak of. The phone screen keyboard that came up was only a numpad. The gesture system becomes a huge pain if the target computer supports gestures, and screen zoom should be lockable to prevent the view from getting all messed up. I would expect this app to take less than a day for a regular developer to code.

Would be 5 stars if I could control my phone with my desktop and if it had some wakeonlan to wake up sleeping devices. Overall very helpful and easier to use than other apps such as TeamViewer and the other boatware on the market. Has been a life saver in the past stuck in other parts of the country forgetting to do something at home on my computer and then bam. Haha. Very very useful.

Bar at top shows just my phone battery percentage, and covers titles of tabs on remote computer. Can't figure out how to get keyboard to show up. These 2 things showed up recently, was working before. On the plus side I can interact with 3 triangularly arranged monitors, which was broken before.

Best app to mirror screen of PC in smartphone very clearly. We can use all the softwares and data of PC using this app, but we can not transfer data or any software from PC to smartphone or from smartphone to PC using this app. This app will not mirror screen from smartphone to PC. This app works on internet. So we can use it through USB or Wi-fi.
