Working again on my rooted AOSP Nougat 7.1.1 Nexus 5!!!, And it works like a charm on Android 6. 1-Star users: specifications clearly say this is for ROOTED devices, so if your device is not, just FORGET IT. As a developer, I understand that It takes a huge effort to develop an app like this, or ANT+ enabler (which I own), and you are undermining this effort. Users saying this is a virus: maybe you are, also.

Been looking for an app like this for such a long time!! Works like charm, thank you so much!!!! Edit: lowered score since this doesn't work for me after upgrading to lineage os and the developer hasn't responded to my troubleshoot requests

Q70%
by Q####:

Did not work. Test it on two different models of Nexus devices with latest Lineage OS and root access. I also rebooted the devices. Did not work at all.

Worked great while I was traditionally rooted. Now I am on a Magisk 11.1 ROM with MagiskSU. This app can no longer find superuser, and now can't start up.

L70%

I can't add a Bluetooth pairing. Nothing shows up in the list after hitting "OK" even though I went through all the installation process (which is kind of compliments) there is also no documentation on workarounds

Not working on HTC One m8 Lineage OS 14.1 magisk v11.1. Oddly enough works well for my HTC One m8 GPE 6.0 with magisk v11.1

Happy cutomer here , this is an awesome app. Android Nougat support and some sort of auto clicker in the app would be most welcome though. Update : Its been more than a month , can we please have N support now.

This is a must! Use your phone as a keyboard and mouse with Bluetooth only, no need for wireless! I use it with my Intel compute stick, it works perfectly!

No amount of praise can be enough for this app, as i type this review from my phone keyboard looking at my tablet, both android. Its workimg fantastic. OnePlus One did not even need a reboot. Looking for something like this for a while. My tablet has full linux with linux deploy and xsdl, with libreoffice, gimp, and my phone has hackers keyboard with this app, Wow !

Great app. Have been looking for something like this for a fair while, Blueputdroid has been dead for along time it seems. This works perfectly on Nexus 6 rooted 6.0.1. Just need to follow the TWRP instructions to get the Bluetooth patched. Thanks dev, will purchase after trial has expired.

You will null and void any warranty by rooting a device. Google "rooting a device" before proceeding.

definitely only a virus. sad, i thought i'd finally found one that would work with chromebook os

Works flawlessly with my chromebook. Connects on first or second try every time, I blame that on the chromebook though.

F70%
by F####:

Awesome - Paste from Android clipboard feature was added by very responsive developer. Now I can use my tablet to type long complicated passwords into my PC -- copy from password manager, paste into True Mouse/KB, it's as if I'd typed it at the keyboard. It's like Yubikey with an infinite number of passwords available at the click of a button! Rooted cyanogenmod, because the Android team hasn't added the HID capability to the bluetooth stack...still. Settings: Peer device type: "Windows desktop/HTPC/laptop/tablet", Bluetooth device class: "Mouse/Keyboard combo"
