Just what I needed

I am able to send links to my android phone to help with development.

Worth it!

It works with Zorin connect and the fact that you can send files is pretty cool, but there should be more I know more stuff comes but what should come first is probably screen share! Screen share would be epic, also there’s some bugs like it was working at first and then a couple days later it wouldn’t connect so I reset my IPad and deleted the app then installed it again and it worked but please fix this!

Inconsistent

Needs to be able to work in the background. Even more important, when sending a photo from iOS to Windows 11 it’s never received and on iOS it shows disconnected.

New Feature

Expose Shortcuts to IOS,so that could create a shortcut in iPhone Home Screen to lock/unlock Kubuntu screen

I Love the Plasma Devs

Obviously it’s annoying that there’s no SMS forwarding or screen mirroring, but that’s what you get for being in Apple’s walled garden 🤷‍♀️
