### 5/5 — 👍🏿

*2020-02-16, version 4.2.2*

Amazing 💯

### 1/5 — Cannot download on Windows PC

*2019-06-18, version 4.2.2*

Download link for windows PC on their webpage is broken. In order to use the app you have to have it on both devices and I wasn’t able to do that.

### 3/5 — Good but no audio

*2018-07-18, version 4.2.2*

No audio comes from the app.

### 1/5 — Do not download!!!!

*2018-04-12, version 4.2.2*

This app is horrible and one day after it installed (I wasn’t able to use it) my iCloud account was being used in China.

### 4/5 — Login, authentication--an unnecessary transgression

*2017-09-30, version 4.1.1*

There is no disputing that this is a good program but they are taking liberties they don't need to by asking for your personal information. This is a very invasive technology anyhow. They do not need to get your device ID or your email and you don't have to log into their servers --that is extremely dangerous for you--to mirror your desktop. Other people don't ask for all that information. You really have to trust the programmers to use this type of technology because they have access to everything that is private and personal on your computer. And maybe you can trust these, I don't know, but I doubted it when they asked me to  authenticate my advice. This is why I gave them a four.

### 5/5 — Coll apps,
