What users are saying

1. Good work.Turns your phone into a remote for your desktop, what's not to like? Looking forward to new features and a more refined/customizable UI.

2. Keep up the good work, KDE!Absolutely amazing, the file/clipboard transfer is bonkers-usefull, could use some small features like the ability for pens over remote input or maybe remote desktop if your on PC.

3. However, one problem is that the notifications only come through to my computer if my phone is on/awake, with kinda defeats the purpose of it, since I still have to take my phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and by then I might as well reply to the text from my phone.

4. Really nice that I can pause or play media from my phone or watch, copy and paste across devices, send files.

5. I don't think this is necessarily the apps fault, but trying to browse the Android device's filesystem can cause Dolphin to freeze and crash on the desktop if there is a large amount of files in the given directory.

6. Just wish it synced more reliably without having to unlock phone.If you use a Linux desktop this app is essential.

7. That's a bit unsettling.This is a really great app and very useful to connect my old phone and new phone together to sync notifications.

8. If their is a way to fix it, please let me know!Despite the name, KDE Connect can be used with other linux destop environments to varying degrees, but I find it invaluable for connecting multiple android devices together.

9. Contacts sync doesn't work, older SMS messages aren't shown, and notifications are stored and sent to the computer long after they're relevant.

10. The only thing it's really missing is the ability to make and receive phone calls from your desktop.

11. The ping doesn't seem to work and I didn't like the notification on desktop, easy enough to disable.
