Gorgeous! I finally tried this app and I'm very happy with it. Extremely easy to set up, works flawlessly and has a lot of cool features. I especially like custom commands, it enables me to easily control my PC from my phone. One thing I miss - it would be cool if there was some remote desktop capability here. But even without it, the app is fantastic

Sometimes it helps me to forget about my mobile. It doesn't matter where I leave my phone at the same network, I can receive all the notifications on my desktop directly. When I listen to the music, it makes my acoustic system calm so I can hear incoming call. If you find something doesn't work properly, check your KDE applet, and tune it. OpenSUSE 13.2 and Moto G/X Play. Thanks to developers. No lags, no problems at all.
This thing is awesome! I remember thinking how cool it would be to have this when smartphones first came out. I am glad I decided to give KDE a try, very happy so far. Edit: You know what would be really useful? If we could have shortcuts to run certain commands.

Wow! This app works very very well! SMS and any other notification pops up on my computer screen and now I no longer have to unlock my phone to read a text! Or to figure out why it is vibrating! Absolutely Phenomenal!!! Thank you so much Dev(s)! Oh and I am running Linux Mint KDE 18.2 P.S. Please rate this app if you haven't! It should be higher than where it is in the PlayStore!

Wonderful app. Great idea. What prevents me from giving you the last star, is the lack of USB connection. Most of the time I sit at the library, or other public areas where connection over wifi isn't possible due to very strict rules. And I am also charging my phone from the computers USB port.
Emre Esen
Outstanding! I have been using this fabulous piece of software on Ubuntu with Unity, I can simply say that it just works. Not a user of KDE but I am jealous of their community and their work of art. Anything from KDE Community holds its promise, I can tell you that.

KDE Connect is awesome. It's very simple and intuitive. File management and sharing are dead simple. Notification sync is very responsive. It makes my Android device and KDE desktop feel lile a match made in heaven.

Angelos Skembris January 4, 2018
KDE connect is incredibly easy to setup and use. It is also very helpful, and designed with usability in mind. I am very happy with it, it makes my KDE desktop much more phone-friendly. Only catch is sometime communication is lost between the phone and the desktop application. Not sure it's not the phone's fault, though.

Great app works well with my LG4 and Linux Mint KDE 18.1. Would give it 5 stars if it were able to send SMS from the desktop. This is an advertised feature but missing from the app.
