This is just great! Perfect to use while I'm working, but... there is a huge but. If you guys manage to really shut down the screen (not just turn it black) and bring the sounds to the PC, this would be the perfect scenario to just leave my phone plugged as long as I am using my computer.
Indeed a revolutionary APP for users who frequently shift from DESKTOP/LAPTOP to MOBILE and back. This App lets you work more efficiently with your system and ASUS Phone connected. Very Impressive! Hope the real time speed increases in the future updates.
Connecting with laptop, it gets the job done of managing both the devices at a single effort. Although the operation is a bit of laggy on the laptop. Still a helpful app.
no audible sound while receiving phone call from pc same issue with the mic, please fix it.
It's difficult to control the destination of transferred files and/or move them to the desired location after transferring.
Nowadays the audio output doesent work at all whenever i try to play a music or any type of movies the audio comes from mobile instead of coming from pc so please fix this i have turned on the audio output settings in my laptop too still audio from phone very disappointed after update resolve this soon ..
i started using this app today and i'm SO happy with it, really useful for people like me, who are behind a monitor 24,7! thank you asus
Every time I connect my phone using pclink, the mirrored phone sreen on my pc can't be operated. If I click something, it shows no response, but when I check my phone, the app I clicked before has opened. When I turn the pclink screen off, it becomes black, and suddenly my phone turned on.
I Love it! but i hope it will have a faster response time. Thank you ASUS Team for doing a great job
this app is only for showing off. I use zenfone2 ze551ml and it cannot be used for anything except scrolling around. Even just playing online card game is horrible. It lags and lags as if the cpu cannot handle the load. This app is "ASUS" pc link not a third party application so at least it should work fine. I dont understand why asus decided to put this app in their phone. It just shows how incompetend they are. Hope to see improvment in the future.
After single use this app started mal functioning. So i had to uninstall it. I am now again reinstalling it with a hope that perhaps this time it will work properly on my asus zen max and lenovo thinkpad. Otherwise uninstalling is still in hand.
Sometime its a bit delayed.. but its good... anyways... can u guys make an app vice versa... like i can access my laptop in my android device... it would be awesome... ill evevn give u 10 stars for that... :D
only for Windows, of which I am also not a huge fan. I eventually found a way how to remove those crap apps
Amazing without any lag or connectivity problems. I havnt expected this much but asus have made it. Thank u zen ui team
I'm facing some problems, like # I can copy everything from computer & paste it in my phone, by 'Drag & Drop' method, BUT NOT THE VICE VERSA... I hv 2 open every time the ASUS T00J drive to copy-paste anything from my phone... PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE...
I thought this would be a useless way to connect phone and computer. But I love the easy file transfer and notification mirroring. Wi-Fi or USB connections are both quick and reliable.
Asus PC link crashes on PC often and crashes repeatedly. Asus Apps are absolutely unimpressive, devoid of quality, class, functionality, extremely fragile and unstable. This is the state of 100% of Asus Apps. All Asus Apps are are a COMPLETE & MISREABLE FAILURE. Why on earth Asus had to develop these Apps when Asus just doesn't have the technical expertise to do so. Asus phone with higher RAM and inbuilt higher memory is just about ok, but all Asus Apps software suffers from infirmities and instabilities rendering them absolutely DEFUNCT. Its disgusting to note that ASUS can't even get their English right on the phone GUI......most places English language is buthered with poor punctuation and spelling and grammatical mistakes. SHAME Asus Apps SHAME Asus PC Link continues to crash on PCs......Windows OS gives a stern warning of Asus mobile CPU overheat....Is ASUS listening?
I never really thought I would use this app, But once I started my own company (web design & digital asset consulting)... I honestly don't think I could work as efficiently with out it! I would recommend some small changes though. I (as much as any one hates to admit it) have terrible spelling, so having the auto correct function some how incorporated into the functionality would be amazing! Also I have found the phone operations a little glitchy. ASUS if you're listening, and you are I have more thoughts:)
This application is great for phone but this app is not compatible with asus computer because asus smart gesture driver for laptop had conflict with this app
Suprised that it works so well. Only complaint I have is that the desktop app is too bright and the colors seem faded into white.
it's a nice tool which displays phone screen on oc screen and i'll have to say it's pretty good in its job the only problem with this is that auto rotation does'nt work which is a must. i can't use full screen feature without auto rotation. so thats a down point but instead of this problem the app is quite great and handy.
Its a wonderful app .. thank u ASUS.. but there's a small bug.. the notification is not going unless the phone is restarted.. please see to it.. a bit annoying
I love this app, it is perfect for business. But it crashes often. Please make it more stable and it is defiantly 5 stars.
Hi, i used to use this apps and it worked great. But after i instal it to my another laptop the pc link which runs in my laptop just stuck in black screen. Pls fix this. P.s. i use fonepad 8 and my laptop is hp pavilion p230ax which windows 8.1 installed on it
Allows me to work on other things and via Wi-Fi or USB keep track of and respond to messages which come as pop ups on the PC
Great App! But I have issues with mirror window. It appears very bright compared to what my ZenFone Max displays. Hope there can be a fix for this
Mirroring on the laptop just shows a perpetual black screen. Nothing makes it shimmer or blink or flicker or show any form of life. Please fix!!! [EDIT]: Turns out if you run it on your laptop with Integrated GPU settings, it works just fine. However, if you have a dedicated gfx card handling it, it can cause freezing of the mirrored screen. Just putting it out there for anyone else having the same issues.
Great Apps! Very useful! But still improve on battery draining/heat/slight laggy issue.
I have to have phone on vibrate or silent while at work, so this app is perfect because i get home and start gaming, i forget it on silent/vibrate and i dont hear my phone when my girlfriend text me, this is perfect because i can see when she text me just on the side of my vision. GG Asus.
Very fun app to use, and works very well if phone is connected via USB cable. If connecting over WiFi, there is a significant amount of glitches.
While listening to music when i get a call or notification the notification sound comes from mobile this has to be from pc or there should be an option to play it on pc
Keep getting the USB not recognized error, have tried almost every possible solution available online. Asus sucks as a lot of people are facing the same issue. :-(
Why it is not connectable via Bluetooth? If possible it will be very good and eliminate need of one more device for linking
Icon is not showing in menu..Everytime i need to go to playstore ,search pclink, click it, open.. i am opening in this way... kindly fix this
This is a unique and own kind of utility. Which interact between phone and PC very easily and very fast..
Brilliant app, incredibly useful when I get into the office. Am able to plug my phone in on my desk and have almost full access to every control the device has. Typing doesn't work on apps where the text field is overlaid, and connecting across separate IP ranges doesn't work. Overall, incredibly useful - I'd definitely recommend this app.
Would have given a perfect score however, some color issues on pc display. Maybe it's the brightness or something
Am using Asus Zenfone 2. When I connect to pc link my phone sim 2 is out of network, plz fix this issue. Otherwise its good...
No audio coming out from pc side, and the screen on the pc side is so laggy on USB/Wi-Fi. Please fix! Zenfone 2 user.
