Link to Windows Customer Insights
1. Two complaints: I wish that when I read a text message on the PC, it gets marked as read on my phone, so my phone doesn't keep alerting me that I have an unread message.
2. Hire better maintenance engineers or just leave these projects be once they're out and working.Pretty dang great! The copy & paste feature between PC and Phone has made my translation and certain projects 100% more efficient.
3. But that is an extra step 🤔It installed, paired with my PC but won't connect and removed the quick menu button when I restarted the phone.
4. It links messages and photos and if you click under "devices" on that screen, the phone shows up.
5. Works fine for checking texts on phone and screen mirroring.
6. And this app is one of those that does not have an actual close button in the menus, and if you try and close the program using the X, it doesn't actually close and it continues to run in the back ground.One of the most annoying and aggravating apps I've ever downloaded.
7. Very frustrating experience and it needs more work for sure.Great for reading & writing text messages.
8. Biggest fail is that incoming calls are missed ir dropped while phone and PC fight about which gets control of what calls.
9. I have exhausted the Microsoft help forums.Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.
10. Leave it to Microsoft to have an app released for as long as they have that still only 50% works and has annoying pop ups every 5 minutes.
11. Second, on the PC, the mouse wheel doesn't scroll the panels up and down, and the scroll bars are too thin to grab the thumbs on.

Reported Issues
-
Someone has gotten ahold of my Microsoft and Samsung accounts along with the passwords. They are able to gain access to my phone through the Link to Windows App. They are reading my private text and emails, plus making and receiving phone calls with my telephone number. This is a huge violation of my privacy. I want my privacy back. No one needs to see my emails from my physician. That's a major HIPPA violation. I don't have to disclose medical records to anyone unless I am ready. This is private and needs to be kept between my physician and I. Please cancel my link to Windows subscription. This is very unfair.
