Ratings and reviews

I use "Across" so that I can use my PC mouse with my tablet. I want to be happy with this program, but it only barely works like it is supposed to because it will cause your apps to lag and disconnect. 1.) I don't understand why we can't assign our own hotkey to switch the devices. We can only use the middle mouse button. If I am on a website and I press the middle mouse button it starts doing some weird scroll stuff. If I am watching a video and I press the middle mouse button, it will pause or play the video. I wish that I could assign a custom hotkey like F1-F12 or the tilde key and use the hotkey with modifiers like the Shift and Ctrl key. Even better if we could use more than one modifier at the same time like Shift + Ctrl + F1. 2.) Most of the time, it takes 4-8 button presses to switch to the tablet device. I wish that it always worked on the first press, but it doesn't. On average, it takes at least four presses each time. Almost always more. Rarely less. 3.) I feel like I suffer connectivity issues as a result of this program. When I am on Camfrog, the program often disconnects or all the videos that I am watching go on pause. If I click play on them, they all go on pause again a second later. When I am using MeetMe Live, the videos sometimes start lagging really bad. I suspect that this "Across" program is interfering with the WiFi signal or something. I tried shutting off Bluetooth and Wifi on any devices that I don't need or use, and I put those devices far away, but I am still suffering some connectivity issues on my tablet (not my laptop). UPDATE: I can confirm that "Across" is interfering with Camfrog. As soon as I disabled the "Across" connection, Camfrog worked flawlessly. UPDATE #2: I stopped using Camfrog on the tablet and decided to only use MeetMe Live and POF Live because they seemed to experience less connection issues. But of course, the connection issues affect those apps as well, but maybe not as bad. So that's why I changed my rating from 3 Stars (Just OK) to 2 Stars (Didn't Like It). I just want a program that uses Bluetooth or USB and doesn't have these connection interference problems.

Fire HD 10 (2019) to Windows 10 PC via a cheap BT4.0 USB adapter. Connected without little hassle, stays connected. Able to use my PC's mouse/KB to control my Android tablet like it was a second screen. Can drag cursor to tablet but it does not drag back. I like the shortcut keys to switch between devices, but I cannot change it to something one-handed (sending LCtrl/RCtrl doesn't work in AHK). Dragging would be nice, but the shortcut key is a great alternative that also avoid accidental dragging. I like that it can instantly wake my device if I (1) drag over, or (2) switch using shortcuts. Relative cursor movement don't work well for me. The first one does not show current cursor position.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD I installed this on my PC and phone to try to get things running but it ultimately did not work. I went to uninstall the program from my PC and the uninstaller stopped working and failed. This caused Windows Explorer to crash and forced me to restart my PC. Once I did so, absolutely NONE of my USB devices worked. I tried everything I could to fix this but it was useless, my PC was done for. I have wasted four hours and I'm stuck reinstalling Windows now. Thanks.
