I just way to say how much I love Samsung phones. But... This app is really bad. Sidesync was way better. It was more beautiful and it worked. This app works when it wants to. It Connects to the phone whenever it wants. Most of the time it won't. Is it really that hard to add a button that will let you manually reconect your phone when the app decides it doesn't want to recognize that your trying to Connect to it? Most of the time I have to restart my computer just to get the app to realize that I'm trying to connect my phone. Also please black out the outside borders when in screen mirror mode. Noone wants to watch a mirrored video with a white glaring background. Samsung please fix this. I love you guys. I will not put up with medeocre apps like this though. If you can't make this work. go back to sidesync it was a wonderful app. At least it worked.

Hello,
Sorry for your inconvenience.
Because there are changes about USB policy of recent android models and windows 10 store app policy,
service for SideSync is ending.
We are doing our best to add main feature of SideSync to Samsung Flow as soon as possible.
Again, we regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you.

This app feels like a beta release. There is a lot of stutter and delays. Trying to use the phone screen mirror only works intermittently. It is a shame Samsung is discontinuing SideSync with this app. I was able to type this review using SideSync. Trying to type a message on flow would have never happened. Mouse and keyboard interaction is simply horrible. I will keep using SideSync until Flow gets better. Another suggestion, put an option to hide the border around the phone screen, it looks bad.

Hello, Mark Z.
Sorry for your inconvenience.
Flow team is trying to improve mirroring performance and lower connection failure rates.
The border will be removed in the next update.
We will review your suggestion about Mouse and keyboard sharing.
Again, we regret any inconvenience this may have caused.
Thank you.

When it works, it's pretty good. Allows screen mirroring, which allows me to access everything on my phone. It just doesn't seem to maintain a very stable connection and when it loses the connection, you have to force stop it on the phone, and go to the task manager on the PC to kill the background process, then restart it all, just to get it to reconnect. Maybe there's an easier way, but I haven't found it. With SideSync, there was a USB connection option which was much more stable. Notifications seem to work well, when it stays connected. You can reply to text messages when you get a notification, without mirroring your screen, but if you want to initiate a message, you have to either pick up your phone, or mirror the screen and do it that way. All in all, this seems like it garners an incomplete rating. Allow me the ability to initiate texts without mirroring or picking up the phone and this would be a giant leap in functionality.
