This way you won’t need to Alt+Tab from the game to check the mappings you have in your config, and also you could Apply a config easily with a few taps on your mobile device. In addition, reWASD Mobile gets the notifications from its elder brother on PC while it is opened, so you will be informed if the battery is low or if you switched to another Slot or Shift.
