I got a message stating that money had been taken out my Apple ID and they made me download this app which had nothing to do with the problem. They wanted to know my password desperately. ### 1/5 — PaypalScam *2025-09-11, version 2.4.0* I was scammed by a PayPal impersonator,from the PayPal app itself!! He had me download this app and persisted to drain my account! Only thing that saved any of my funds it was a holiday weekend!! He was going for my 401k!! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-20, version 2.4.0* I got it text that said it was from PayPal and it gave me a number to call because my account has been compromised. I called the number and they had me install this app. I did not realize what the app was and I gave these people all my information they got into my credit card $500. It’s still pending I can’t it. I called Apple to see if they could and they said there’s nothing they can do until it’s processed.. do not install this app ### 1/5 — Never work *2025-08-17, version 2.4.0* Registered on phone but could never log in with the same ID on PC ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-08-14, version 2.4.0* This is a scam!! Do not fall for it, you do not need an app to do what the caller is telling you!! I thought I was talking to Microsoft support, it was not actually them this app is a scam! ### 1/5 — Ben williams *2025-08-08, version 2.4.0* Sorry scammer who lies & takes money from innocent victims ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-08-08, version 2.4.0* if someone you don’t know is asking you to install this they are trying to get your passwords and credit card info ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-08-07, version 2.4.0* This is a scam!! Maybe not the app itself hopefully it’s not the app but I got a text message about verification of Apple Card payment and the guy wanted me to download this app. I think they’re trying to mirror your screen to get your information.. ### 1/5 — This app is used for scams *2025-08-07, version 2.4.0* I was trying to reach Stubhub and called an imposter number. The “Help” person instructed me to download this app and open Stubhub, so they could see exactly my problem and “resolve” it. Instead they had me buy Apple giftcards to address to myself, but they were mirroring the phone and could see them. I am an idiot to fall for this but I did catch on and luckily called Apple in time for them to invalidate the gift cards. ### 1/5 — Beware *2025-08-06, version 2.4.0* This is being used by scammers. ### 2/5 — Used by scammers *2025-08-02, version 2.4.0* This app is also currently being used by scammers..I, unfortunately know this first hand and have no idea to what they got access. I have no point of reference but assume well intentioned users of this app get their service met. Just heads up. Shady people may use this too, don’t be dumb like me. ### 1/5 — This software is a scam *2025-07-31* I got a scam message warning me about unverified Apple account usage and phones to confirm the amount mentioned was not mine. I was then advised by support person to download this app - while someone else was whispering persistently in the background - and noticed the original message was a +61 number and hung up. Went to Apple Store to report this and the very arrogant helper told me if was concerned to call Apple support as it had nothing to do with the retail store and shrugged her shoulders (Apple in Trumbull, CT. So yeah, disappointing (Apple, not up to par on security) and users, beware ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2025-07-26, version 2.4.0* Do not download this app scammers will do what ever it takes they will use this app to mirror your phone or computer and see your personal accounts to social media to possible many other things and heads up if it’s leads to money that is a huge red flag so I repeat don’t download this app. This is really a no star app but I gave it one star so I can submit it ### 1/5 — USED FOR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY *2025-06-25, version 2.4.0* DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — Their *2025-06-03, version 2.4.0* They took my money and purchased bitcoins. They got over $900. before I caught on to them. They use lines like “don’t worry we’re going to take care of you and there’s nothing to worry about .” I’ve contacted Homeland Security (son in law) and they are looking into this as we speak. If this isn’t AweSun then they need to fix the problem. ### 1/5 — Scammers claiming to be Apple employees *2025-06-02, version 2.4.0* Scammers used this app to wipe out my accounts. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-05-19, version 2.4.0* Was not direct did not help me teied to steal info ### 1/5 — Would be great if it worked *2025-04-27, version 2.4.0* Download the app on my desktop and phone but won’t let me login made my account reset password tried making another account just keeps giving errors.

The police warned me that I was being hacked. They were sent by an investigation team monitoring Bank of Am. ### 1/5 — Scammers *2025-12-22, version 2.4.0* They still use this app to try to access iPhone for fraud. ### 1/5 — Scammers and Hackers *2025-12-21, version 2.4.0* Uses this app and scam you and hack you!!

Very easy to use, very helpful and I have not ran into any major problems whatsoever. But the only problem I encountered thats obviously only personal preference is the yearly subscription. I was looking forward to try out the game keyboard mechanic so I could play some Persona5, but when I looked into making a purchase to subscribe, the only options where yearly and no monthly whatsoever. Still a great application nonetheless, definitely a 5 star from me with how easily it can be connected and manoeuvre your PC from anywhere. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2025-02-20, version 2.4.0* Ứng dụng tuyệt vời, rất thích hợp cho những người hay phải di chuyển. Tôi đã dùng 3 năm, cảm thấy rất thích thú với ứng dụng này. Cảm ơn nhà phát triển ứng dụng! ### 5/5 — I love it! *2025-02-14, version 2.4.0* Easy way to connect to my desktop when I am out. Very clear view and easy to maneuver my computer from my iPhone or IPad. Love AweSun! ♥️ ### 5/5 — Works great - and quite easy to use *2025-01-30, version 2.4.0* I use this to log into several servers/computers while away from my desk, and I have found it both easy to use and remarkably stable. I run it on my phone and on my iPad, and can literally leave it running on my iPad on my desk in a hotel and keep an eye on everything… It’s not as good as having a mouse (on my iPad), and I haven’t been able to get the touch screen on my iPad to work (I use it with a virtual mouse), but the touch screen works on my phone. Completely reliable solution for me for the last several months. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-12-27, version 2.4.0* I had gone to school one day and forgot one of my passwords for something but I managed to recover it through this by accessing my desktop passkey that was really clutch. Just remember you need a method to wake up your pc because if it’s sleep AweSun won’t connect. And one more thing to all the reviews saying AweSun is unsafe that’s not true it’s just some scammers make people download awe sun (or similar programs) and ask for the log in information once they have it they can connect to your pc. So if someone on the phone email or something asks you to download AweSun DONT DO IT they’re a scammer. Never share your AweSun log in with anyone ### 5/5 — As name suggests…awesome! *2024-12-07, version 2.4.0* Excellent program and easy to use. I have a huge ASUS laptop which I leave at home when travelling. Never had any issues with control or transferring files from anywhere using my iPad. ### 5/5 — Scammers using app *2024-11-13, version 2.4.0* Amazon scammers are using this app to remotely access peoples device. Account user… Dan Boone 709 at g mail . Com Password.. Amazon 123 perhaps you could delete his account or flag it. I thought you guys might have suspended his account but just today on November 13th 2024 they again tried to access my device with the very same email and password so they are still at it. ### 5/5 — Scammers using app *2024-09-14* Amazon scammers are using this app to remotely access peoples device.
