Once I used with it, I was fully capable of using my desktop remotely. As stable as strong the network connection is, but for such a convincing tool it requires reasonable network speed. It work perfect with my basic home WiFi and router. Instant connection and response. Will recommend

Code for trial does not work. code. android-remote com redirects to Facebook and Facebook page does not exist. Concerned that is the trial code does not work if the playoffs version will have issues. Otherwise the app is quicker than many of the other mouse/keyboard apps.

This app has been amazing for many years. However, windows has suddenly started blocking it, I added to firewall and still refuses connection. What to do, I tried on mac and works fine. What to do with Microsoft bully, please help, have paid features since 2014.
