Ratings and reviews

It blew my mind the first time I discovered all the possibilities of this app. In short, it gives me total control of my TV from my phone - I use it as a monitor, computer, large phone screen, video chat, gaming controller, and picture frame. I would give it more stars if I could. 06/20/26 - "Please use the correct signature apk..." error message appears when launching the app and it's impossible to connect to the display at all! Please fix!

I got this phone late 2024 and it was great for a while. I was able to use my phone and see notifications on my computer whenever it was on. It would automatically connect just fine. That is until recently where I can hardly even get it to connect reliably whatsoever. Almost every week I have to delete all data and start over just to get it working and now it's so bad it's almost every day. I don't know what's wrong. It's ridiculous.

So before this app updated to whatever this is. I was able to easily transfer files and such from my phone to my computer. Now since it updated. I can't do any of those things. It kinda upsets me and wish they return the old ready for back. Like literally...you tap the file option. It doesn't work. It always says "unable to start activity please restart app" which I've done and same loop error. Edit: 06/2026 New update broke file transfer. uninstall updates to get it back
