Ratings and reviews

Works very well for my personal usage after learning the controls such as 2 finger tap to right-click. TeamViewer told me to buy a licence, saying connecting from any non-home network such as public Wi-Fi, mobile data, etc. is commercial use. Not a problem with Chrome and no nagging pop-ups or ads either. The only two improvements I can think of would be sending keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C, F keys, etc) and file sending. I use the Windows on-screen keyboard and Google Drive as a workaround.

Seems like this app will forward Alt and Ctrl key combinations from a Bluetooth keyboard, but not Windows key combinations. Looks like most of the reviews for this are those who didn't like they keyboard change and never looked back. But at least currently, you can click on the keyboard icon and have direct key input again. An extra step, but in my opinion it makes sense and also seems intuitive enough.

Oh Jesus Christ, you people can't leave anything alone, can you? You had a good, solid app. Bugs, sure. But solid. What the heck is this new update? You practically lobotomized it, running it on HTML. The old keyboard system was good. Direct input. Now you type a keystroke out and send it? It doesn't work. I'm actively looking for a replacement for this app now. Used it for over 8 years, this killed it for me.
