### 2/5 — I don't think this works anymore.

*2020-03-25, version 1.0.1*

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

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-01-12, version 1.0.1*

Still not working

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work with iOS 13

*2020-01-04, version 1.0.1*

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.

### 1/5 — Ancient

*2019-08-17, version 1.0.1*

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

### 1/5 — 2019 and doesn’t work.

*2019-06-13, version 1.0.1*

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.

### 5/5 — Seems to work so far

*2019-04-06, version 1.0.1*

I was weary with all of the negative reviews, but for me, the process was flawless (although there was a lack of instructions in the app). I can see texts I receive, and also receive and answer phone calls. Really handy when the fiancé wants my attention without worrying about scaring me!

### 1/5 — Can’t even pair my phone

*2019-02-28, version 1.0.1*

The app doesn’t even work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2018-11-30, version 1.0.1*

I tried it in spite of all the bad reviews. It is indeed a poorly designed app that does not work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all

*2018-09-26, version 1.0.1*

I love my vive, and I love the concept of this app, but it just doesn’t work. Hopefully it gets an update soon

### 1/5 — Absolutely awful

*2018-09-14, version 1.0.1*

With all the devices/apps that connect to iPhones using Bluetooth, you could have contracted someone to build this if your developers are so incompetent. This is by far the worst experience I’ve had for so little benefit.
