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.

Fastest remote game streaming app for PC I have tried. I am docking a star because it is an absolute nightmare to run Red Dead Online. The game will crash out of no where due to a signal/connectivity issue with this app, and, unlike every other game- is unable to start up again smoothly. The app will say "desktop offline" because the game decided to shut down Steam to improve performance, therefore, the only process open is the Steam Game Overlay in the task manager.

Decent but, needs a lot of work. Sadly, this app doesn't hold a candle to what Microsoft offers. This app has constant connection issues and needs some more love. If I remote my Xbox through the Xbox app, even from my phone on 5G, it works almost flawlessly from over the internet. Steam Link though, seems to struggle on my local wireless connection. This software could do much, much better. I cannot recommend it in its current state.
