Wow! Finally a way to cast reliably, file share with Windows and much more! This powerful app has been the missing link for my Moto phones over the years! Bravo to the development team: so much value packed into the app: casting screen, mobile desktop (wow!), and seamlessly share files from my Android phone with my Windows desktop and vice versa. Thank you for making this. Google Chromecast has been getting more unreliable over the years but this app has so many more useful features! Bravo 👏

Barely functional. I have to try connecting like 10—20 times. Sometimes it works fast, sometimes it doesn't. I can't understand. What does it need? What permissions? I am forced to unpair and then pair again and works until the next day. Edit: it's the firewall. It needs a rule to not block the app on your pc. Or allow from any to any port tcp/udp. Maybe you should change the errors? It's not the VPN or wifi.. It's the system firewall.

Good, but difficult to turn off! I find this app quite useful but wish it was a lot easier to control. I really don't want it turning on automatically every time I turn on my computer, tablet or phone yet no matter where I look I can't seem to find settings to turn it off. I'd just like a simple on-off option to be there when I need it. Otherwise though, its useful an works well. (Though with so many other file transfer and mirroring apps, there's many to choose from.
