Comments on KDE Connect for Android

★★★★☆ Peter Gaşperan · Sep 30, 2026

It's cool, but I wish there was remote volume control and option to choose specific media players on my pc (winamp, etc.), for remote control. As someone else said, it'd be great if it had a list/log of files you've transferred, maybe with a visual of the upload/download progress, because sometimes the files don't come through. Great app otherwise.

★★★★★ Kouza · Sep 2, 2026

1000x better than Micros lop's bloated Link to Windows (Phone Link): ▸ Remote Cmds: execute scripts, lock or sleep PC straight from bed. MS could never. ▸ Media Control: 2way control, adjusting PC vol and skipping tracks from bed again. ▸ Clipboard & Notifs: solid over LAN sync. Unlike Phone Link randomly chokes on It's own Win"down" OS, this thing just works. ▸ File Sharing: mid-on bulk, just use Quick Share for heavy transfers 🫩

Thank you KDE community! Always bringing out best of the software! Used KDE on Linux, never disappointed. Now in Android!

★★☆☆☆ Daniel Davis · Oct 19, 2026

I have been testing this app out, and it is fantastic with communication between my Pixel 9a and Ubuntu. Unfortunately there is a MAJOR bug with it at the moment. Sometimes the keyboard connects mistakenly, even when you are not near your computer and your keyboard disappears completely on your phone unless you shut down KDE connect. There are buttons to disable it, but they are below the navigation buttons, so you can't actually access them. Very frustrating and unsafe.

★☆☆☆☆ Görkem · Sep 11, 2026

I give 1 star so developers might see this faster I gave every single permission from my phone and my laptop that uses zorin, my phone gm24 still latest versions on all. I can transfer files on both, but after I mount my phone to my laptop, I can't acces my files cause it says i don't have permission, I checked every single permission and accepted all but nothing. Also, if there are 5 message notification only the last one stays, it's a good app anyway and I will change it to 5 star after the reply

★☆☆☆☆ Michelle · Oct 18, 2026

Seriously what's wrong with your app? This app is broken on all my Android devices, not letting me find and connect to my devices anymore. I even deleted and reinstalled your app and still have the same issues. If your app is acting up on all my Android devices your app is the problem not my devices so please fix it once and for all. I already had enough issues with your app
