Ratings and reviews

No ads. No tracking. Just easy connectivity. My favorite feature is when I get a call on my phone, it automatically pauses my media on my computer and when I finish the call, it immediately resumes. Every function is customizable, and you can add your own custom ones. I can tell real thought was put in how to make the best experience possible between your computer and phone with this app.

it was working great! i finally could get stuff over to my Ubuntu without struggling to make it look through folders over USB. it still works just fine between my iPad and android...but a week ago it ubruptly disconnected.my laptop. partially. the laptop no longer displays devices and doesnt respond to pings (even with a manual host name). i didnt run any update of any kind on any device to cause that. i tried reinstalling it on the pc and its still failing to see other devices.

I have found this app very useful. Its great for media control when streaming over bluetooth. Would like to have more interactivity for messages such as clicking to open a window where you can read, mark as read, etc. A way to get to messages that have been viewed on the PC side would be appreciated as well.
