Wishing my iPhone had iMessage to a Mac laptop instead but this will do for now. ### 3/5 — MS Surfac Pro 11 ARM *2026-08-19, version 1.26072.13* ET👽 proof to be more AI compatible connection memory processing everything ### 3/5 — Average performance *2026-08-19, version 1.26072.13* Needs huge improvements and less faults. Further improvements would be nice. ### 2/5 — 关于手机链接 *2026-08-19* 我想要的是苹果电脑和苹果手机那种镜像投屏 这个就是来电话接 对我没啥用 一点用都没有 用这个不如直接用手机了 手机和电脑连接 根本无法从电脑上控制手机 我建议学学苹果电脑就是从电脑上连接手机 然后手机就算熄屏 也能操控苹果手机 直接就是通过鼠标玩苹果手机 ### 3/5 — Ok but could be better *2026-08-19, version 1.26072.13* I like that I can see and respond to messages and calls on my computer using the app. I don’t like that I can’t do all the same things as my phone such as add photos or gifs to my text messages. ### 4/5 — Benjamín *2026-08-19, version 1.26072.13* Moreno ### 3/5 — Updates Are Helping *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* I don’t know if it’s Windows or IOS but though the app is improving, my phone and pc still loose connection. Also, I look forward to the day that I can see on my pc more/all of my emails and messages, rather than only those composed on my pc. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* This isn’t a bad application what makes it bad is that this application doesn’t give the same opportunity it does to iPhones as it does galaxy’s. Then to go ahead and link the phone to the application takes so long to be added. Sometimes it won’t even pair together. ### 3/5 — Phone link review *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* The Apple Mac has had this feature that communicates to the phone for a very long time. It’s far past time for Windows to have the same feature, but also they need to have the reply and the text to and from fully updated in the app. ### 3/5 — A du potentiel *2026-08-18* Bonjour, j’aime bien le fonctionnement general mais ce qui me manque c’est de pouvoir voir les photos et pieces jointes envoyer en texto **Developer response:** Merci pour vos retours. Merci de nous avoir contactés. Nous recevons un grand nombre de demandes de fonctionnalités et, bien que nous ne puissions pas répondre à ou mettre en œuvre chacune d'elles, nous essayons de prendre en compte autant de suggestions que possible. Nous partageons cela avec notre équipe produit pour qu'elle puisse y jeter un œil pour les plans futurs. ### 4/5 — Excellent start *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* It’s nice to finally have some cross-platform support allowing my iPhone/Apple systems work with Windows platform. It’s been a long time desire for something like this. Few buggy issues to be resolved but overall I’m pleased with functionality. ### 4/5 — Pedro *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* Buena ### 2/5 — Very confused app *2026-08-17, version 1.26072.13* The app totally gets in the way of the link to my hearing aid so that the hearing aid will not properly connect to my phone. My iPhone doesn’t have this problem until the Link to Windows app is connected. Link to Windows wants to take over everything. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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。 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* Well I can’t really use it for phone calls any more so 👎 ### 1/5 — So weird *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* I hate how messages you send from your phone don’t show. The ringtone is super glitchy and doesn’t sound right. It’s 2026 you should be able to facetime. ### 1/5 — Needs a lot of work *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* Great idea but needs a lot of work. Connecting to the phone is a challenge ### 1/5 — Phone Link is not functioning *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* After two tech support calls. Phone link does not function on my Windows 11 computer wit an iPhone 17. ### 1/5 — Missing Messages *2026-08-17, version 1.26072.13* It’s a great concept if it works. A lot of my text messages that I even responded to or received in his new did not get updated on my computer. And this is a brand spanking new computer so I’m assuming it’s the app. ### 1/5 — So Annoying *2026-08-16, version 1.26072.13* The way you force people to link their phone to their computer before they can use their computer again is not cool. Not everyone wants that or need that. And even after all that, the app still keep popping up and cannot be hidden into the taskbar. And this is one of the reason why Microsoft is so way behind Linux and MacOS. Fix this and give people their freedom to choose back! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-08-15, version 1.26072.13* Won’t make calls ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dell *2026-08-23* Top ### 5/5 — Rlly nice *2026-08-23* 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 😊 ### 5/5 — Perfeito *2026-08-21* Gostei muito e posso inclusive atender ligações recebidas no celular pelo pc ### 5/5 — Funcional *2026-08-19* É muito bom poder usar o celular no pc. Queria um app desse no meu Mac ### 5/5 — Nice feature *2026-08-19, version 1.26072.13* World well ### 5/5 — Fábio Barreto *2026-08-18* ✅ ### 5/5 — Nice add *2026-08-18* I like it. Saves me from digging my phone. ### 5/5 — Cell Yan *2026-08-18* Danger ### 5/5 — Advanced *2026-08-18, version 1.26072.13* Very good ### 5/5 — Nice integration *2026-08-16, version 1.26072.13* I like the app as it seamlessly connects with multiple PCs and the notifications aren’t annoying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
