Ratings and reviews

Infinitely better than old version. Close to desktop experience. But some important things aren't here, like having a custom message on the blacked-out blank screen. Also, when comparing the video framerate with something like Rustdesk, this just isn't as smooth. But #1 thing I want improved, if given a choice, the thing that drives me the craziest: FIX THE MOUSE PRECISION. I get very frustrated when right-clicking on something small and the cursor jumps away from it and I miss the target!

I do love this app better than teamcantviewwell. It works well but yesterday all my computers just disappeared. Like I removed them but I didn't, at least not knowingly. It's not a huge issue with <10 computers but still each ID and pass has to be re-added again and I don't know why. I thought recent app update but nope. Perhaps a safeguard to prevent this issue would be useful just in case.

I had an issue with the mouse pointer being invisible. That was because I didn't have a physical mouse attached to the host. Turning on 'mouse keys' in the Windows settings on the host fixed the issue. It is not as refined as their desktop client but it is more than adequate. Excited to see future improvements.
