Ratings and reviews

Certainly, I like this app. I'm using the Wiko u307as with Android 9. The following issues are current: file transfer is occurring only in one direction from the laptop to the mobile. The volume on the multimedia control does not work. In addition, the play button does not allow the user to resume when the video is paused. Let's see about fixing those issues and then there will be five stars. Thank you

Impressed with the performance. Feature Request: it will be great if you introduce a feature that will allow mobile client to trun on hotspot on the laptop and connect to it automatically without touching the laptop. And allow Computer client to crate and connect to mobile hotspot similarly. Also, please add an option to stop zorin connect from mobile. Exiting the app don't stop the app. Sometimes I don't want it to connect to the PC. Thanks 😊

I really like this app. One bug that I fing inconveniencing is the media control. For some reason I the app still shows a video I played on X weeks ago and even if I play something else and close it, it goes back to showing the same. This has even taken over the "currently playing" widget. So, say I was listening to music on Yt Music app, and I pick a call, the music does not resume. Rather, Zorin Connect takes over with the zombie media which still shows is playing.
