*Mobile Remote Support:

- Live screen sharing is available for all Android devices running version 5.0 and up (using Android's MediaProjection API).
- Full remote control is available on Samsung devices running Android 4.2.2 or newer and all rooted Android devices.

Important notice for Samsung device users:
- “This app uses the Device Administrator permission.”
- Samsung KNOX needs to be enabled to allow a remote control of your Samsung mobile device. We will use administrative permission (BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN) to enable Samsung KNOX and it will be used during the remote support session only. You will be able to revoke the administrative permission once the remote support session ends.
- If you do not enable Samsung KNOX you will still be able to share your screen using Android's MediaProjection API but a remote user will not be able to control your mobile device during the support session.
- You can revoke administrative permission anytime in Android device settings (Settings->More->Security->Device Administrators).
- Make sure to revoke administrative permission before uninstalling this app.

Important notice for unattended access functionality:
Application uses USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission which is required to run the service which enables the users the use of the new core functionality - unattended access.
The permission is crucial for the intended functionality to operate and allow unattended remote access to the device.

Ratings and reviews

extremely buggy app. this app doesn't allow me to properly sign up. if I sign up it doesn't sign in. is it made for the general public to download for use or not? you must understand the kind of ratings people are giving so negatively you must improve the app aur remove it permanently so that people don't waste that times on your app.

I'm pretty sure that this app is being used to watch and see what my device is doing. This is because when I go to "Log" inside the app settings, there are hundreds of occasions where it's been on when I haven't realised, as I said, this is only a theory and I have nothing else to prove my point however once you install the app, it is there forever as I have tried on numerous occasions to remove it from my device but can't, hope this helps someone and you can probably find something better

We use ISL Online desktop to support our customers, this app works really well for us to also get access to their phones when they need it. That is all we have used it for, but it does what is needed. There is no option to control but being able to see a phone remotely and advise is invaluable and I believe that is an Android limitation, not the app.
