Ratings and reviews

I am running this on my Google pixel phone connected to my kubuntu desktop PC. it never disconnects, I never have issues with notification spam, all I did was set it up on the PC, install it on my phone. I watch videos at night when I sleep and use this app to be a mouse basically, I skip videos turn down the volume whatever. I don't really use the fine transfer function but I'll have to give that a try. app does exactly what I need it to

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.
