When i installed it at first it worked great. But after closing the app and reopening it later it asked for password. But I did not setup a password between my computer and phone. Also. To make sure it was not my computer I set it up on another computer. Same thing. First run works great. Close, reopen, password!! Grrr!! please fix this. Or tell me how...... Update. . . I figured it out. It was requiring me to setup a password. After setting up a password it connects fine. You should be more clear on this

Have the windows phone pro version. No service on the phone just have one. While the droid version is almost as good there are a few minor differences due to lack of proper version here. If they release the pro version, I'll be content. Edit: Just to specify, I mean the file management on droid doesn't work. Can't view and open files unless I'm opening manually on desktop view. Windows does with ease :/ Edit a day later: if we could get the option to choose our colors that'd be great. Green isn't me.

It contains all controls I looked for a remote control app, and even more. Possibility of realview of pc at smartphone screen is just awesome. Think about adding an option of streaming beside video, the sound from pc to smartphone. And maybe improve realview (right now video is streamed like pictures that change). But this is just an add-in for your awesome remote application! You have recommandations from me.

Developer please add multiple screens for multi-screen setups hdmi,dvi and vga. And possibly a wiget for keyboard shortcuts and possibly power options.Easy to set up! Have serious plans for this app lol. Will 5 star when updated with multiple screens sapport very happy overall

I couldnt wish for greater productivity than this app provides, i now have the ability to use my desktop while sitting on the couch and its even made a fantastic xbmc remote. Downside - its a bugger when your wifi signal drops. This is my first 5 stars ever cos it deserves it

I would love to give 5 stars for the final product. Some bugs here and there I guess, eg I cannot type enter and back delete key on samsung s5 using default keypad for desktop view. Given the beta, some suggessions for much needed feautures: 1- stream audio from phone to the pc. 2- favourite functions that we previously used. 3- i will update later

So i downloaded this because my laptop key board doesn't work and I have my laptop connected to the tv. So it's a pain having to keep getting up to use the touchpad. All I can say is this is the most intuitive wireless app I have used. Smooth flow through. Easy to use . easy to connect .. 100 %recommend using this !!

The display mode is slow, like 1 sec/change, and mouse is very big, its too big i think. Btw, mouse mode is cool and works perfectly but the scroll is too sensitive, or maybe this is becouse of i use QHD phone? Don't know but i can't use scroll. So this is the best remote app what i ever used! Display mode should be faster, and mosue scroll is less intensive and this app is the best app for remote your pc :) really good work

The only problem is that I can't control a PowerPoint presentation or any other software presentation without the mouse arrow. I would love to be able to move between slides in a presentation for example without having to use the mouse, just by pressing on the arrows (in presenter mode for example); while having my presentation on the tablet like it is. And also sometimes while playing a video in PowerPoint it can bug on the tablet. But all in all great great application

~~ Firstly, a PSA: you need to add the program to your PC firewall, or else it might not work. ~~ Anyway, I don't usually review apps, but I have to say this app just does what it describes to do, very well. Mouse control has so little latency it is as good as a laptop's trackpad. Best of all, you can control Spotify, Media Player Classic, and WMP individually! (Although there are some minor bugs with overlapping responses.) Great to see the same developers from Windows Phone support Android as well!

Hmm unsure yet,works after first install. When I come out,it won't reconnect.Already uninstalled and re-installed.Again worked after clean install,then won't reconnect. I'll persist for a bit,but may uninstall,cos when it DOES connect it's fine and works great,but only at the first instance.If it was persistent then yes, maybe worthy of more stars...

Great app, perfect remote keyboard and mouse, has options to launch and control many popular media programs. Mirrors screen accurately and without lag. Only complaint, xmbc is now called kodi, and therefore does not launch properly! Keep up the great work!

It works really well, it helped me so much yesterday when my monitor stopped working i used this app to do the important stuff. Thank you so much! My only request is to add computer wake up function, it says its coming soon cant wait! Thanks again!

Its nice really but It would have a page that make me Edit it to put the shortcuts I use them to save time. And about desktop I use second screen. I cant open it from cell,I just can use mouse on both screens.

I love this app. It works really well. It really does. But if you're a gamer. It's pretty much useless to you. This mmorpg I'm playing. Mabinogi, the keyboard does not work for at all. Nothing does. I can do desktop and look at it. That's all. It'd be great if it were added to work for games like this one. I'm sure higher ratings would come in. But I'm still giving it a 4

Wow this is an amazing app. I was setting up a laptop to work as a media centre for an older man with limited mobility. I bought a wireless keyboard for him before i found this app. Now he can control everything right from his smartphone. I'm so impressed with this app. It's easy to set up and easy to use.

The interface is quite ugly but the app works well. It also needs more functions for the audio (like a scrollbar so you can skip a part of the song). Other functions work well and with no lag.

For the beta it's perfect, if this was the final product it would lose a star. In detail, in functionality it works 24/7 with %100 of the features, it's easy to chat with support, it's just missing the fine tuning. Let's fix the scrolling bar, we need sensitivity controll, and either change the scroll or zoom gestures, as they get mixed up sometimes, or just decrease the initial horizontal sensitivity on zoom. And on latter releases please give us client made skins with layout and market!

If I use my computer mouse it does not update the mouse on my tablet but works great apart from that. PS can you add a function of a desktop screen extender so people can have 2 screens 1 and multi task.

Wanted to give 5 stars but.... one very annoying feature is causing me trouble. In mouse mode while moving finger and holding it for 5 seconds turns on drag feature which makes it very difficult to move mouse pointer around unless u keep lifting finger before 5 seconds. I wish if i could turn off this drag feature! Also scrolling in mouse mode is very unstable and not smooth at all. Keyboard works perfect and all other features are pretty good. Overall it is a very good app and i love it.

I've been using this app for ages on a HTC with no problems. Just got a Samsung S7 and it keeps asking me to enter a password. I don't have a password though, and even when I enter one it does nothing. I have to delete the connection and then refresh and it's OK again. I have to do this every time though so it's annoying. Help?

I like the app, so far my only complaint is that you can't hold control or alt or shift or whatever while pressing on arrows, even when they're part of your keyboard. I hope to see better media control in the future.

My mouse went swimming in tea this morning. After 2 hours of using just my keyboard, I managed to get nothing accomplished. Finally I remembered "there's an app for that". Within maybe 3-4 minutes tops everything was set up and working seamlessly.

S70%
by S####:

Like it says above, it connects well, the mouse is smooth, and fairly precise. The lack of left and right mouse button (and possibly middle button) makes it fairly useless for me though, since I need both hands to right click. Please add mouse button areas to the mouse.

Interface is poor, having to switch too many screens and go through too many actions to go from moving the mouse curser to using the backspace key or changing the system volume. It works, but there are much better options out there. Wasn't very well thought out.

It's an amazing app! Tho it has its flaws. Which in my case is that the cursor doesn't match the one on your desktop it moves a little too far to the top left (Maybe because of my resolution).

Excellent app for destop control. Its fairly nice. I highly recomend it for those that enjoy watching videos off a website or need to access the pc in general from their device. No ads, no trouble. Perfect for a beta release. I am eager to see how it further develops.

My only issue so far is that when I'm using mouse controls, a one finger tap is right clicking and a 2 finger tap is the left click. I'm not sure if it's just me or my phone (note 4) but would to switch this around if possible! Everything else is working like a charm, Thank you! :D

This app is working perfectly. The only problem is when my mobile screen display is off the app shuts down and i have to start it again. You should also add the connectivity option using wifi hotspot option. Overall the app is best.

Just downloaded and used and so far it is great. However double clicking in the desktop view isnt very reliable. Most of the time i am clicking 3 times at a fast speed. Also the thingy on the top middle in the desktop view gets in the way and can be annoying. However the app is great and will be better!

Quick question, anywhere else than paypal you can buy this software. For those with no wifi but mobile hotspot, go to pc network settings, and get your ip address. Also the remote software will tell you the ip. Now create a password and apply. Connect your pc to your mobile hotspot, and in the app on phone select + at the bottom of screen. Now enter the ip address and password. Connect and enjoy. For others, this software is free so stop complaining. Works on Win 10.

So far its perfect for me except for the lack of an option to switch between multiply monitors or atleast to set which monitor as a default to be viewed on the phone...really hope to see this option soon

This is the second time I use a remote control app for a computer. The first one was with a Nokia Symbian phone. It was cumbersome and not really useful. This time I am amazed how much the technology has progressed! Being able to completely control your computer from an entire remote desktop is beyond awesome! I am sticking to this one, because it is not a gimmick and something I will use a lot. The app is free and it seems to be under constant development and improvement. No ads, or anything. Try it!
