Turn your mobile device camera as a webcam. Simply select “Link to MyASUS – Shared Cam” as the video source in your PC video conference app, then you can easily enjoy seamless webcam share.

[Hands-Free Phone Calls]
Make and take phone calls, which can be routed through your PC’s speakers and microphone. You can also access your phone’s contact book on your PC, so you can search for contacts and call them directly. There's no need to dig out your phone from your bag or pocket!

[Remote Access]
Use your mobile device to remotely access files stored on your ASUS PC and use your PC as a personal cloud replacement and gain access from your mobile device anywhere and anytime.

Ratings and reviews

A bit clunky but it's alright. The app could definitely be streamlined more and a few features are pretty badly made. The remote camera works but it's very confusing because it makes it look like you're taking a photo. Using your phone from PC doesn't really work but the key strokes get sent to the PC so it ends up being useful if you're fine with looking at your phone and typing. Works great to use your laptop/PC keyboard for your phone

The experience isn't 100% smooth, but I'll take it cos there is no alternative that comes close to this in my experience, especially as it's built in to the laptop😁😁😁. But it would be great if the file transfer limit of 1 GB from phone to the laptop were removed, because this limit doesn't exist when it's the othey way around: laptop to phone transfer. Screen mirroring and extender does have its issues and requires fixing, but its core features are pretty good! 😇🙌

In general, it's great. Having some settings in the android app would be useful, to determine where received files are stored. Additionally, often when I'm transferring files to my phone, they're received, but aren't added to my gallery/photo library until I manually tap on each one and open it in the gallery. This is still easier than putting everything on a flash drive or directly connecting my phone to the laptop, but loses any convenience when transferring more than a couple of files. All-in-all, very useful, though the bugs/lacking features make it less desirable. Update: (in response to the developer response to my initial review) the files do go to the LinktoMyASUS folder, though for some reason not automatically. I first have to go into the Link to MyASUS app after each file is sent and select it multiple times before it will appear. Waiting doesn't affect the file transfer as I've given it ~1hr previously and the files still didn't appear in the aforementioned folder until I manually opened them several times from the app. Aside from that, I still love the app and use it daily for work.
