Ratings and reviews

Impressed with the performance. Feature Request: it will be great if you introduce a feature that will allow mobile client to trun on hotspot on the laptop and connect to it automatically without touching the laptop. And allow Computer client to crate and connect to mobile hotspot similarly. Also, please add an option to stop zorin connect from mobile. Exiting the app don't stop the app. Sometimes I don't want it to connect to the PC. Thanks 😊

Works very well in many respects. But on my laptop running Zorin OS 18, SMS messages all appear to be sent by one person (apparently the first person alphabetically listed in my contacts.) Also, Android notification (e.g., "Not connected to any device") cannot be dismissed or cleared. (I'm using Samsung A42 with One UI ver. 5.1.) Please fix!

Useless. Like their OS, Zorin doesn't provide a user manual for Connect that I could find to actually learn how to use it. I got it connected to my phone, saw no way to do any of the things it promises except ring my phone, which I already have with Google, and now I can't remove it from my menu.
