Comments on KDE Connect for Android

★★★★★ Mark Radbourne · Jul 7, 2026

Granted, I use this app almost exclusively for remote control, but it has been rock solid. I looked at a couple of paid apps before I found this one and this outperforms them by a mile. Reliable connection, and smooth operation of the remote PC. Two enhancements I would request: 1) How about adding special keys such as Ctrl in the manner that Juice Ssh does. No custom keyboard required. 2) It scrolls the remote screen way too fast when scrolling with fingers on the phone. A setting maybe?

★★★★★ Gavan Strauss · Jul 20, 2026

Genuinely my favorite app for practical use. Don't even need Linux for it, I use it for Linux to my phone and separate windows laptop to my phone. It's awesome, I love it

★★★★★ Aaron P. (Just Aaron) · Jul 25, 2026

Pretty good on a Linux machine running media center software, just wish it explained what "text/x-keystrokes" was.

★★★★★ Maddix Blankenship · Jul 11, 2026

Switched to linux (bauxite kde) recently this is like phone link but better and for linux

★★★★★ Fahadullah Fahim · Jun 18, 2026

Using the reconnect cli and kde connect app I have automated sending screenshot from my desktop to my tablet. It helps me greatly with my studies. Not just photos, I move large PDF file and archives within my devices using my local network. Moreover, clipboard sync is so convenient I can't imagine how I lived without it before.

★★☆☆☆ Gail Wynand · Jun 7, 2026

It is not as reliable as it used to be. Sometimes the files are sent to the computer, but often they don't, or if they are sent, they appear like for two seconds on the KDE Linux computer and then disappear and the "Receiving file (failed)" notifications popup

★☆☆☆☆ David Font · Jul 21, 2026

Update: downgrading to one star because both Mint Linux laptops won't connect to my Asus ROG 8 phone. The phone says can't connect due to PIN, but there is no PIN. Not perfect but for what it is, it's the best app out there, so far.

★★☆☆☆ Nico · Jul 25, 2026

As expected from KDE, it's absolutely broken. It's actually really amazing when it does decide to work, but unfortunately I am not willing to perform multiple rituals on both my PC and my phone simultaneously while also praying to a higher power that the stars radiate the exact amount of cosmic energy for this app to work for once when actually needed. The irony is it actually works reliably on Windows, but not on Linux. Absolutely baffling.
