Install app, then he told me to click the option and allow,it was to allow share screen with technician.When I said why asking a screen share he said you can click it wouldn’t share.It has never happened before for a refund you need to install app and share screen.Yet another way of scamming.

SCAM

This app is being used to scam people and access their information bank accounts etc. do not engage with it!!!

SCAM

Tried getting in contact with “Roku” to cancel a subscription my son downloaded, guy with Indian accent answered with only a “hello” told me to download the app and give him access which I thought was weird. He wanted me to open my settings app and go to my account profile and open UBER when I asked what for he said it was part of the verification process. I didn’t feel comfortable specially after he asked what my 3 digit security code was so I hung up and came here to see all the negative reviews. I hope I don’t get scammed out of my money. I locked my card and used a different # to call customer service in which sounded a lot more legit off the bat. Don’t get scammed, trust your instinct.

Very Useful for Remote Support

I've been using this app for a while to share and remotely view my iPhone from different devices, and it's been surprisingly reliable. I can connect from my Windows PC, MacBook, Android phone, or even another iPhone whenever I need to help someone or present something remotely. The cross-platform support is definitely one of its biggest strengths.

The connection quality has been smooth, and the setup process wasn't complicated. It's especially useful when you need to access or demonstrate something on your iPhone without physically holding the device.

One thing I'd like to remind other users is to be careful when accepting connection requests. The app itself works well, but like any remote viewing software, you should only allow connections from people you know and trust. If you receive an unexpected request, always verify who is asking before granting permission. There are plenty of scammers who try to take advantage of remote access tools, so staying cautious is important.

Overall, it's a really useful app with excellent cross-platform compatibility. As long as it's used responsibly, it's a great tool for remote viewing and support.

Got into my bank app - SCAM

Please don't reply to my review trying to defend this crummy app, which is basically theft on wheels. I caught you guys red-handed trying to steal money directly out of my bank account.

I had to change my user ID because somebody kept on trying to change my email address, phone number, etc. They pretended they were connected to Apple support after installing the app. They immediately wanted to look at my bank app and my Venmo app. They tried to instigate a fake crypto Transfer. Immediately deleted, and I had to change my banking password and my Venmo password.

I mean, really, absolutely do not respond to my review. This is simply a warning for people do not install this app these pos-es got directly into my bank account and instigated an email change and a user ID change. I had to login as quickly as I could to block it, fortunately, my bank detected the activity and locked out the user, but I ended the session and deleted the app as quickly as I could. While they were working on my bank account, somebody else was trying to get into my Venmo, but they weren’t able to get into that either.

Asked me to download this app to share my screen under a guise of tech support beware that they are floating the number as tech support due to which AI will misidentify it and recommend you to use it for a fix. In my instance it was door-dash support. Obv they cannot hack iphone thank you apple!!
