Please you must improve Samsung Flow by making it to stream phone apps, instead of just relying on phone mirroring. Please add the ability to stream phone apps because this basic feature is really needed and requested for in this year 2026. (the same feature is in Windows Phone Link and Chromes Phone Hub.)

Excellent file transfer app for mobile to windows. Very convenient. Please don't discontinue this app. Better than any of the other similar apps.

Bring back Dex for Android 15... please, please. Link to W... is awful and will never compare to Dex.

Connectivity issues addressed and app is now stable over both network and tethered connections. Thanks!

It's only useful for transferring files between devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Otherwise, it's a pointless app. There is no option for usb cable connect, which is very bizarre. I only installed this app because Samsung PC suite doesn't work. These huge corporations have garbage software nowadays which is designed to shove you to their online stores and apps. They overlook the fact that users have to work offline in many cases.

Tried downloading app for Samsung Galaxy tab a7 but download store says the app won't work on this device. So I can't link a Samsung phone to a Samsung tablet :(

Has problems like it will transfer using 2.4 ghz even when 5ghz is available, making transfer speeds extremely slow over Wi-Fi.

This app works ok between Samsung phone and Samsung tablet but it's useless between phone and a PC computer. It keeps dropping connection, it keeps asking to unlock phone for screen mirroring. It needs to be started manually. It is not a seeming less experience like on Apple products, unfortunately. It is not a good app, any it ruins completely the whole experience of using Samsung phone. Use it with a tablet z skip it if you want to link your computer and Samsung phone
