Comments on KDE Connect for Android

★★★★★ Shaun Xenon · Jun 14, 2026

If you use Linux and Android devices, you absolutely need KDE Connect in your life!

★★★★★ Jamie King · May 12, 2026

Works great! I love being able to control media, use remote input, run commands, and send copied text from my phone as well as receiving notifications, being able to interact with notifications, and texting from my computer.

★★★★★ Zubair Baig · Jun 24, 2026

Pure masterpiece 1. Shares files. 2. Shares clip board (from both devices) 3. Connects with Wi-Fi, hotspot even USB tethering. 4. Command execution. Phone link from windows is nothing in terms of this There must be one time fees to use this app, simply love it

★★★★★ Candergil Nhabanga · May 31, 2026

Incredible app, I liked how it synchronizes and works with my Kde desktop. One thing I would like in the app is the exit button.

★☆☆☆☆ Mahmoud Ibrahim · Jun 1, 2026

You broke notification sync with your last update, when the device sends the notifications screen off. I had to downgrade using the f-droid version.

★★☆☆☆ 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

★★☆☆☆ Ricardo Dev · Jun 27, 2026

Very unreliable, will struggle to pair even when providing the IP directly, for devices on the same subnet. Then will not connect most of the time. When it works is cool, the issue is that 9/10 times doesn't work at all...

Trust & Safety: KDE Connect emphasizes local-network data transfers with end-to-end encryption and explicitly states that data is not sent to KDE or third parties. Some features rely on sensitive permissions (e.g., location for Trusted Networks, Accessibility for Remote Input); these are used only for the specific functionality needed.
