Ratings and reviews

the new web based version of this app is horrible. Worse performance, worse latency, worse everything. Plus you have to have Google Chrome installed (and enabled) to use this app, which is not an option for me, because choosing Chrome as default browser and then disabling it is the ONLY way to choose which browser to use every time you click a link instead of having a defined default browser for everything on an android phone.

Update: it's completely broken... Update: just force stopped the app and one offline device STILL shows as online. How this passed ANY QA is beyond me... LET ME MANUALLY REFRESH!!! ‐------ The new way is unusable on a phone. Maybe it works on a tablet, idk. But it's so impractical to type on the host. The old way was intuitive and worked. It had issues, sure, but it took me seconds to ping from the host. Now, I can't be bothered, cause typing is horrible.

6/23/25 they fixed the function key! previous review: function key on virtual keyboard used to be in the bottom corner (can't remember if it's left or right) but it moved to the left of the "a" button, it's half the width of a normal button, and it's very difficult to tap.
