The idea of this is so beneficial; I use it all the time. There are only a few issues: It constantly goes offline and I have to refresh it. It also lags to send/receive texts. Lastly, it only accesses pictures your phone took; no downloads, etc. Still, overall, it's a great app. I love how you can copy from one device and paste on the other.

So Far So Excellent! The app improves productivity, and makes it easier to write texts. The new features are useful. For example, running Android apps in Windows provides convenient access to Android even when the phone is elsewhere. However, I have found one Android app that won't run, and trying to open it creates a flickering Window that won't close. Features Request: (1) Allow users to press enter without sending. I deducted one star. (2) Let users create shortcuts to Android apps.

After having this for a month, I have noticed that it disconnects randomly and does not notify me thqat I have new messages and will let me know with a large amount at once . It also wont let me use the phone as a webcam. Im not sure if this is user error or the system but it is upsetting. overall it is nice to have. Improvements would be appreciated!!
