### 1/5 — Poor Customer Service

*2026-08-10, version 9.1*

No one will reply.  I have tried many times and no one will reply to my inquiry.

### 5/5 — Honestly quite good

*2026-07-15, version 9.1*

For a up to date review i would give this 5 stars because it does what it states. 

If youre out and you forgot to lock ur pc u can do it via mobile you have tons of other features 

Anyways peace out respect to the guys that made this

### 2/5 — ПК версия встраивает рекламу!

*2026-06-30, version 9.1*

Не рекомендую, сразу после установки софта на пк на твиче начала появляться реклама, хотя для ру региона она выключена и вообще у меня есть адблок. Как только программа была выключена - реклама пропала.

### 1/5 — New update is trash

*2026-06-28*

Used to be a great fan of this app !! until the last update which is draining battery noticeably due to the new graphics or animation and also the thick bezel like edges  is controlling where i can put my buttons, is a pain! Plz fix those

Please role back the update.,
This one is causing the phone to overheat within minutes and while using the app even the notification bar feels choppy..!! 🥲 thus the app and its response to pc

### 1/5 — Unstable Connection and Frequent Crashes

*2026-06-28, version 9.1*

I wanted to use this app as a controller for PC games, but the experience has been very frustrating. The connection is not stable and the app frequently closes by itself for no apparent reason. When this happens during a game, the game continues running while the controller disconnects, often causing me to lose matches.

Reconnecting takes far too long and can take several minutes before the app works again This completely ruins the gaming experience, especially in competitive games where every second matters.

The idea behind the app is great, but the connection reliability and unexpected app crashes need significant improvement

### 2/5 — ehh

*2026-06-22, version 9.1*

wii pointer and sensor doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Beta Phase, Much development needed

*2026-05-30, version 9.1*

Missing some features Android version has such as gyro 3d button, ability to import mwl files, shortcuts, also ability to create home row buttons, and long hold one finger click on trackpad. 

Download file from file explorer doesn’t execute download. Had to use Ios Smb or Lenovo Smart Connect to transfer file.

### 5/5 — I just love this app I keep getting better and better

*2026-04-27, version 9.1*

There is one little thing left is you just added the mouse gyroscope option when adding a new sensor. With my iPad I can’t use it like a gyro sensor to play games on my pc .if that option is available that will be great .thanks

### 5/5 — Terrible

*2026-04-27, version 9.1*

Takes forever to pick a password and then you’ll never remember it, then for some reason your password won’t be the same on your computer so you’ll never be able aign in

### 1/5 — Garbage virus

*2026-04-11, version 9.1*

This has everything wrong with it you could imagine. Doesn’t work. Says free then charges you.. constantly logs out, doesn’t remember password then says password is bad even when it’s good. Don’t use this Chinese spyware.. it doesn’t even work
