★★★★★ Mitali Bhattacharya · Jun 3, 2026
Very good app. Now I can access my phone from my pc and do all my work.
★★★★★ Ruby Watson · Jun 9, 2026
It was easy to use. I was able to scan the QR code and transfer photos from my mobile phone directly to my laptop in seconds. Fantastic!
★☆☆☆☆ J Williams · Jun 3, 2026
THIS DOES NOT WORK. It is a good idea, stolen from many others in the store but, they forgot the make it works part. Tried again. Still doesn't work.
★★☆☆☆ Moon Lee · Jun 16, 2026
Unable link PC with mobile phone. Always disconnected. Cannot share files.
★★☆☆☆ David R. Borquez (davidrborquez) · Jun 13, 2026
Connection has a huge delay, Bluetooth connection keeps disconnecting, can't see photos on my phone from the Windows app, or lock the computer from my phone
★☆☆☆☆ Sreeselva Veene · Jun 16, 2026
Extremely inconsistent and total time waste like a lot of Microsoft products. You basically have to study Rocket Science to figure it out, and it is not worth it.
★☆☆☆☆ David Swinehart · Jun 3, 2026
It disabled the previous link with usb and doesn't allow the previous easy browsing of file.
