| 2023-01-15 |  | | Great app, but there is an issue. When I switch off my phone, after a minute I see TCP reset packet on host:9212. If I switch on the phone later and try to control the host, it doesn't work. I have to leave the control page and return to reestablish TCP connection. Also, ads too intrusive =). |
| 2022-03-21 |  | | Was trying to gain remote access to a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Samsung A9. Mouse pad was working but keyboard, couldn't input English, though it has always been my first choice of input language. Tried to change the phone settings but nothing seemed to work. Tried to add a second RPi to the list but never made it. Looked like the it was always running at the background of the first device once it had been added. Need help to kill the process. Nothing seemed to work after un-and-re-install... |
| 2022-01-22 |  | | Seems interesting, but couldn't get it to work. Followed all instructions to install, no firewall, same WiFi. But unfortunately Discover never worked. Would be nice to be able to enter an IP address manually. |
| 2022-01-15 |  | | This application is wonderful for remote manipulation of any Linux device you might use as a media center. I have a raspberry pi media center, two laptops with Linux Mint that my wife and I use for school work, and a Dell all in one with Q4OS installed that my son uses for his school work and YouTube. This remote works wonderfully for all of these devices, with no noticable latency, and an easy to use GUI that makes switching between devices very simple. |
| 2021-10-06 |  | | App is good.. but few additions or bugs noticed in android are 1. Scrolling not working with double hold. 2. Screen black out after screen timeout .. 3. App always comes infront even if I make App goes away.. 4. Add mouse button at bottom for left click right click and middle click |
| 2021-07-23 |  | | App works ok. It does as it says. I have found a couple of small bugs. It concerns me the server's lack of distro package, documentation or signature. You must run it as root, it self-extract a binary, sets up a systemd daemon to run at boot and configures firewall rules. No package is available in distro. No signature or file verification. No source code. No license or Manual. Run as root on bootup and configures firewall. This should not be even allowed in pypi. Package linux apps properly. |
| 2021-07-06 |  | | The app is good. But unfortunately After installing on Linux mint , system got hung at boot up and no keyboard and mouse were not working. I had to uninstall the service from system by logging into recovery mode. After that I am able to login. For few minutes I thought I bricked my system . |
| 2021-06-29 |  | | Very easy to setup, assuming you're on a Linux machine. Would ask the developers to maybe allow me to change the orientation of my phone, because it might be more natural to have my phone sideways like a trackpad. Not a big deal at all since anyway this is an emergency thing. |
| 2021-05-22 |  | | Brilliant app, very easy to setup. I wish the instructions and the video is updated with the latest instructions. The service no longer runs on port 9999 as shown in the video. I had to do bit troubleshooting to find out the port has changed. I would be happy to update the rating if the instructions are updated. Edit: I really like the new features and updated documentation. Hence, I am updating the rating. Good job guys! |
| 2021-05-09 |  | | Edit: issue seems to be gone after a while. Leaving the original review to indicate that there might be a bug. Original: the app opens itself constantly when minimized (Android 10, MI A2 Lite). I hit the home button, a few seconds pass and the app forces itself to foreground. |
