Ratings and reviews

Works perfectly. Unfortunately I was able to access foreign student computers at my school via spacedesk. If I had an ipad with keyboard, I would have been able to destroy any of these systems (turn off their screen via windows+P, c delete drive via cmd...) for use in public networks therefore completely unsuitable. For private use at home, on the other hand, it is a very good app. Perhaps a feature could be introduced that allows only approved devices to connect.

I really love this app, it has been helping me out. But I wish it had two more features. 1. An optional bar, that could have some button like "alt", "shift" and "control", which would activate the physical one's in desktop 2. If wired connection with higher quality and more refresh rate was possible, would be great.

Seems like a pretty decent app. I'm not having any issues really with latency etc. However, it seems like it's impossible to mirror my main display (a 4k monitor) to my phone without turning my 4k monitor into a weird, 4:3 1080p display. It mirrors the signal going to the phone, instead of the other way around? I can mirror my laptop screen fine, but that won't work as some of the programs I was curious to mirror run only on the main monitor. So it's basically useless. Is there a way around this? I fiddled with as many windows 10 settings as I could but it didn't seem to fix the issue.
