### 1/5 — Ошибка

*2026-08-24*

Устройство сопряжено, всё видит, музыка играет, уведомления приходят, звонки и СМС проходят. Файлы с телефона не отправляются!!!! Ошибка!!!

### 1/5 — 接続してるのにエラー(解決済)、何個か送れないエラー頻発、転送が遅すぎる

*2026-08-24*

アップデートしてから、接続済みでも「接続してない」のエラーが起こってファイル共有できません。論外。
↓
一度PCでもスマホでもお互いのデバイス登録を削除し、再ペアリングしたところ直りました。ただ再ペアリングの作業で認証アプリを使うと認証できず、結局SMSにコードを受け取る方法で解決しました。
マイナンバーカード関連のアプリ並みに煩雑で脆弱。

また別件で、複数枚の画像をPCに送る際十中八九エラーで何枚か送れないです。転送速度も遅いし、、、

終いにはスマホ側で画像を送信完了してからPC側で反映されるのが10分後くらい(笑)
話にならない(笑)

2026.8.24
ついにペアリングさえできなくなりました。ペアリングもできないのでフィードバック送信もできません。
開発側は使ったことある？
とても使い物にならないよ？

**Developer response:** アプリケーションでこれらの問題が発生していると聞いて、申し訳なく思います。調査できるように、ログとともに PC から https://aka.ms/phonelinkfeedback を通じてフィードバックを送信していただけますか？ありがとうございます。

This app is really useful when my phone is dead or if I don’t want to use it, I haven’t had any problems with it and it’s been going rlly good so far. One great feature I love about it is how you can share files across your devices, saved me a lot of trouble! Thanks 😊

Gostei muito e posso inclusive atender ligações recebidas no celular pelo pc

### 3/5 — Good but not great

*2026-08-21*

Works pretty good but I don’t find it updates very fast. Wishing my iPhone had iMessage to a Mac laptop instead but this will do for now.

### 1/5 — Muito ruim

*2026-08-20*

Não funciona direito, não envia os arquivos. Muito limitado. Para que esse app se tem outros que fazem a mesma coisa muito mais fácil e melhor.
