I don't think this works anymore.

I have tried to link my iphone to my PC (VIVE pro) and my VIVE Focus plus... the app just hangs.

Doesn’t Work with iOS 13

It connects and shows my phone on my Windows 10 PC, but acts like I’m not connected in my iPhone. Does not act like I’m connected on my Vive Pro either. I have the WiGiG wireless kit but I still have my link box connected. After many tries and reading the instructions on their website, I cannot get it to work. Fix the app HTC, it hasn’t been updated for 3 years! As a phone manufacturer, I would’ve thought this would be no big deal for HTC... Guess not.

The last time they updated this app was 3 years ago. And it doesn't work on my phone. RIP HTC.

2019 and doesn’t work.

Just flat out does not work on my apple device, no support or Bluetooth capabilities. Not even sure why they have an app if they don’t update it.
