Ratings and reviews

Great app. I use it while work is dead and I gotta kill time but they really need to add an option to close a game when the stream is unresponsive. It will be working fine then the game will have a hiccup and crash the app and if I reopen the app and try to reconnect it'll just say couldn't connect to network relay and it leaves my pc running a video game til I get home only to find out it's all running fine and the only issue being the app couldn't connect to the game.

The concept is exactly what we all want. In practice... It doesn't work. It does exactly what it is supposed to until you actually start a game. At which point the game plays just fine on the PC but the audio and visual on the phone freeze immediately. You have to go to the PC to exit the game to get the app to unfreeze on the phone. At which point you can control the PC remotely, until you try and launch a game (the whole purpose of the app...) Then it proceeds to freeze again. Please fix.

Just plain doesn't work, even for simple card games. Last update was Dec 2024. It seems fairly likely they've just stopped updating this because they want people to buy a Steam Deck. Which is more than a little disappointing because for those of us who just want to play card games or 20-year-old adventure games, it's just not worth the cost.
