Overall was good, but one suggestion, can the mute option can be added where we can mute our phone via laptop itself. Overall the app was satisfying.

Smart Connect is absolutely amazing. Useful features, multitasking, and great design. AND I can open more than 5 windows at a time. I hope Motorola continues to support this feature and keep it going strong because THIS is functional art, and I'm here for it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

File sharing works on one win 11 versions and not the other. 25H2 was not working in previous update. Needs mirror from pc function, so I can cross control from local server. Monet is current solution for that. Is there a Roku app coming for the Experience Hub? UI is great but network has delay for mouse/button control. Adding dlna to file sharing to would allow user to stream media files from phone as mobile server without VLC. Experimenting with connect to device's hotspot to perform this

Exclent. Please fix bugs, keeps getting disconnected in the midle of calls or operations on desktop. Not compatible version with Smart Connect 09.0.2.004.00 can't connect until the aforementioned version is available

Smart connect is horrible trying to cast to your TV you have to do too much just to get it done! Then the little bar thing doesn't even line up correctly with the TV! If Lenovo would give Moto G stylus better attention then maybe the phone would be better but since they don't give a damn about this phone they only care about the razor this one is falling to the wayside!!

Edge 30 Fusion; there seems to be a problem with the current version that makes the app unusable with a message stating "Please use the correct signature apk as currently is a mismatched version". Please fix.

Latest update on June 26 killed it. No longer able to connect the phone to pc. my phone is moto edge 30 pro from 2022. Every time I open the app. It gives me warning about signature of apk doesn't match even I have the latest app updated. Please fix this as reverting to old version works fine
