Great app

This app does a great job turning your iphone into a desktop experience.

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you so much for your kind review! Turning your iPhone into a real desktop is exactly what XeOS is built for, and it keeps getting regular updates with new features. If you have any suggestions, you can always reach me through the in-app support or at contact@qod.ee. Kind regards!

Have to pay to do anything

Have to pay to do anything other than change settings

Response from developer

Hi there, and thank you for your feedback. Yes, XeOS is a paid app. It's almost an entirely new operating system, and that takes a monumental amount of work and constant updates. It can't be completely free: it has to support its own development, so it can always stay the best of its kind. To offer a free trial, the app can't be sold as a paid download upfront. If XeOS were a paid app on the App Store, you couldn't try it before deciding to buy it. This way, you can always start a free trial with unrestricted access to every feature, and decide later whether it's right for you. Besides the recommended lifetime plan, which pays for itself the fastest, there's also a yearly plan, which some users prefer. XeOS keeps improving at a fast pace, with regular updates bringing new features and improvements, as you can see in its App Store version history. It takes a monumental effort, but its value will keep growing, making your support worthwhile. Kind regards!

Très bonne application

Application fluide et bien pensée. Le meilleur compromis que j'ai trouvé face aux autres applications de bureau virtuel.
L'accès à l'app Fichiers est très pratique pour accéder aux fichiers à la fois depuis l'iPhone et l'environnement de bureau. Idem pour le calendrier et les photos.
Le seul petit manque à mon sens, est l'absence d'éditeur de fichier Word, Excel, etc.
Sinon c'est vraiment une excellente app

Great app gets the job done as advertised

Gets the job done and works as advertised, also sad to see people hating on it because of the price. I’m not just sure about the data collection by their browser.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your very kind review. Regarding your concern, there is zero data collection in the browser. The built in ad blocker also protects you from many sites own tracking scripts. From this point of view it is one of the safest browsers out there, even compared with major browsers. Thanks again for your kindness and if you ever have suggestions or questions you can use the in app support 🙏

La meilleur application du genre

J'ai testé les autres applications permettant de simuler un environnement de bureau sur un ordinateur et XeOS est de loin l'application la plus stable et concrètement utilisable pour la productivité. Il y a cependant encore place à amélioration et les
développeurs sont particulièrement actifs à en juger par les nombreuses mises à jour de fonctionnalités!

Response from developer

Bonjour et merci beaucoup pour votre avis! Ça me fait vraiment plaisir que XeOS se démarque pour la stabilité et la productivité après avoir essayé les autres, c'est exactement ce que je vise. Vous avez raison, il reste encore des choses à améliorer et les mises à jour vont continuer au même rythme. Si vous avez des suggestions, écrivez-moi à contact@qod.ee ou via le support dans l'app. Cordialement!

VERY COOL

Amazingly cool app. Feels very sleek and polished. I was able to use uxplay to connect my Windows laptop to Airplay.
There was some lag but this would probably disappear with a wired connection.

The only thing not great about it is the price. For using it casually, the price is a bit offputting; but for anybody using this as a replacement for a laptop, this is a very good deal.

Thanks for making this app!

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying XeOS, and I indeed strive to keep it the best desktop experience there is. You're right that a wired connection will make everything much smoother. XeOS supports the maximum frame rate the iPhone supports, 60Hz for an external screen. The app is constantly improving at a fast pace, with regular updates bringing new features and improvements. It takes a monumental effort, but the overall value will continue to improve, making it worthwhile even for casual use. Kind regards!

課金って何?

サムスンdexみたいなアプリないかな?って思ってここにたどり着いたけど課金 600円⁉️探したら無料でできるやつあったけど これが無料だったらな、無料だったら星5だった

Response from developer

こんにちは。本アプリには、よりお求めやすい価格でご利用いただける「買い切り型(無期限ライセンス)」のオプションもご用意しております。サブスクリプションは短期的な利用を想定したものですが、買い切り型であれば、比較的すぐに元が取れるはずです。本作は、膨大な労力を費やして開発された、非常に高度で最高品質のアプリケーションです。そのため、残念ながら無料で提供することはできません。実際、これほど複雑なアプリを開発するには非常に大きな労力を要するため、無料で利用できる同等のアプリは他に存在しません。一見似ているように見えるアプリであっても、日常的に安心して使えるほどの品質や洗練さを備えたものは他にないのです。アプリに関する詳細やご提案などがございましたら、contact@qod.ee までお気軽にご連絡ください。 よろしくお願いいたします。

App Developer

Excellent response time, customer support and product knowledge. Thanks from Canada.

Response from developer

Thanks so much, and greetings back to Canada! Helping each of you get your setup working is a big part of building XeOS, and it's great to hear the support made a difference. I'm here anytime at contact@qod.ee if something else comes up 🙏

Not worth the price

Will be making an open source version of it

Response from developer

This app is a full time job for a few people, took a lot of effort to get right and is also constantly maintained requiring continuous resources. Just to give respect to the hard work that went into this, it is worth the price. But it is also a great value for what it offers because it’s much more complex and complete than anything out there and can replace buying another light work laptop. You’re free to try to make an alternative but you will soon discover you will need to invest much more time and money than you think, which makes it impossible to keep it open source.

值得期待的是开发者的态度!

Costly

Costly

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for your feedback. I understand the price can feel high. Besides the subscription, XeOS has a lifetime option: you pay once and every future update is included at no extra cost, so it pays for itself quickly compared with a subscription or a second device. XeOS is built by an indie developer and is almost a whole desktop system made from scratch, with updates every week or two. The price is what keeps that work going. If you'd like to share what you need from the app, I'm here at contact@qod.ee or through the in-app support. Kind regards!

クソ使えん

iPhoneをキーボードがわりに使うと何故かiPhone上にもマウスのポインター出てきてクリックなんもできんくなる
その注意書きでなんか書いてあるんだけど、どうしてもその設定できないし、iPhoneのキーボードをクリックの時だけ消すとか言ってるけど、なんかiPhone側がバグり散らかして切るなんてどうしろっていんだよっていう結果になるので使わない方がいい、しかもやばいことに金かかる

Response from developer

ご連絡ありがとうございます。共有いただいた内容からすると、物理マウスは使用するものの、物理キーボードは使わずにアプリを操作されたいということですね。この構成でもアプリは動作しますが、推奨される利用方法ではないため、警告が表示されたものと思われます。「画面上のトラックパッドとキーボード」の組み合わせ、あるいは「物理マウスとキーボード」の組み合わせで利用されることをお勧めします。iOSの仕様上、iPhone側のカーソルを非表示にすることはできませんが、アプリがマウスの動きを認識するためにはそのカーソルが必要となります。そのため、iPhone側のカーソルは気にせず、外部画面上のカーソルに注目して操作していただければ問題ありません。アプリ内の説明がお客様の言語で十分に伝わっていなかったかもしれませんが、いただいたフィードバックはすべて反映し、常にアプリの改善に努めております。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

Overpriced

It can be a 4 but it’s too overpriced,developers pls lower the price

Response from developer

Hi there, thank you for the review, and I'm glad you'd rate the app a 4! I understand the price feels high. Have a look at the lifetime option: you pay once and get every future update at no extra cost, which works out much cheaper than the subscription over time. Since your review I've released many updates with new features and fixes, all included at no extra cost. If anything is keeping it from a 5, tell me at contact@qod.ee or through the in-app support and I'll do my best to improve it. Kind regards!

Remarkable

It’s pretty amazing to see your iPhone functioning as a desktop computer. It blows my mind.

とりあえず年間契約

iphone17でカーモニターへHDMIケーブル接続で接続して使用しています。モニター全画面表示にはこのアプリよさそうです。買い切りでも良かったかな?

Response from developer

こんにちは。 この度はアプリをご利用いただき、誠にありがとうございます。素晴らしい活用事例ですね!おっしゃる通り、ライフタイム・ディール(買い切りプラン)は将来のアップデートも追加費用なしで利用できるため、非常にお得なプランとなっております。改善のためのご提案やアイデアなどがございましたら、ぜひ support@qod.ee までお寄せください。 今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。

Web Server

Is there any way you could make web servers over Wi-Fi another way to connect a 2nd display? Otherwise the app is great.

Response from developer

Hi there, If I understood your use case correctly, this is actually possible, if you slide down the control center and start screen mirroring to any AirPlay compatible device the app will actually detect it as an external screen. You can also do it directly from iPad too. If you wanna share more details at contact@qod.ee I’ll be happy to assist you more, and see if there’s something we can add to the app too, in order to make it better. Kind regards!

Um modo "Dex" para iPhone/iPad

Um app que simula um ambiente desktop em telas externas. Uso desde a versão 1.5 e posso dizer que a partir da versão 2.0 é praticamente um novo app. Estou usando diariamente no meu workflow e estou extremamente satisfeito. Principalmente eu que uso um iPad A16 com uma cap teclado, projetando em um monitor de 27 polegadas. Sem o app, o espelhamento de tela aproveita pouquíssimo do monitor, o comportamento dos aplicativos nativos é inconsistente e fica uma experiência ruim, mas o XeOS mudou isso completamente. Apesar de ser apenas um ambiente simulado, eu acho super fluido, funcional com mouse e trackpad, além de ter suporte ao meu idioma de teclado. Acho interessante o fato de que a tela do iPad fica escura enquanto projeta somente em tela externa. Além do melhor fato para mim é poder assistir os vídeos do YouTube, Netflix, crunchyroll, Disney plus, hbo em tela cheia. Inclusive funciona muito bem para usar a suite do Google e ver reuniões no zoom. Sobre a parte de gerenciamento de arquivo eu ainda consegui sincronizar uma pasta do iCloud com a pasta do app, o que facilitou marcar os meus pdfs. Enfim, acho fenomenal o potencial do app, sobretudo considerando que é um ambiente "simulado" dentro de um navegador. E o que eu acho mais fenomenal ainda é a atenção do desenvolvedor em resolver cada pequeno bug que eu mandei para ele pelo e-mail de suporte.
