What users are saying

1. Also, who's genius idea was it to put the keyboard function in a pull-down from the top menu? Exactly where most of our phones have the pull-down notification window?The touch sensitivity is to much over the recent year! When I try to click by tapping, half of the time it doesn't register because it thought I was moving the cursor by 1 or 2 pixels! When I try to drag to precise position, and I retract my fingers, it always move the cursor one extra time at the end, since it is too sensitive! PLEASE FIX IT! You were good in the beginning, but now you're not!I use this program on desktop almost daily and recently needed to use my phone as the viewer, searched the Play Store and delightfully installed this.

2. The new toolbar is not really needed to view the keyboard if you have the app ShowKey.With the recent addition of a tools "bubble", Android can now force a keyboard open when needed.

3. The new floating toolbar is idiotic, it blocks the view of the top of the screen and you have to constantly hide and unhide if you want to toggle mouse and keyboard controls.

4. Very well designed, streamlined for efficient navigation, intelligent features, fast bug fixes, and I very rarely experience the kinds of connection problems and latency issues I've run into with other similar applications.

5. That's too bad since I was really looking forward to using this app for my remote desktop connections while in DeX mode.

6. But, let it not connect the first time it tries, and it won't connect at all until you force close the app, maybe reboot your phone, perhaps reset time itself back to when it would work.

7. I am using it to view operating systems that are being emulated using Termux.

8. However, for those who are using thier Samsung device in DeX mode, this app does not work.

9. Though bringing up a keyboard was supposedly doable without the shortcut, in practice, many devices would open and immediately close the keyboard.

10. And it won't secretly run in the background like other apps, so thats niceWhen it works, it's great.

11. If the opportunity exists, I would love to find out how to become a beta tester on any new applications you might have coming out.This is a great app overall.
