Ratings and reviews

When my devices can see each other through the murky haze that is my unconventionally configured LAN, this app is suddenly a rock star. Sending files, remotely controlling media apps, using your phone as a HID, there isn't much to gripe about. An app I would be happy paying for (honestly) and yet it is glorious FOSS. Also, it gives me something to brag about to my Windows friends. Worth it's weight in gold, that. 10/5 stars. Linux users, don't pass this up!

Outstanding application!! I have it on all of my devices, from Steam Deck, Desktop, multiple phones and tablets, and even my TV!! It allows seamless integration in a way I would honestly expect of humanity at this point BUT WITHOUT NEEDING AN "ECOSYSTEM." All of my devices integrate amazingly! ❤ One thing I would like to see: I LOVE the Gyro Mouse so much! However, I'd like to make it so my phone can be on a flat table and be used like a mouse, currently axis-control isn't something you can do.

Great app, allows me to sync my phone to any computer without keeping me in any manufacturer's ecosystem. My only gripe is that the UI and UX on both desktop and mobile is pretty confusing and takes a while to figure out. It would be nice if there was clear messaging about what operating systems are supported on the desktop side, and if there was some kind of walk-through on first run.
