Potentially a great app, however it crashes when connecting to the server (running on ubuntu 18.04). Strangely the free version works perfectly...

Great app currently using it on a Linux mint 18.3 home theater and my windows 7 machines. Note: if you are using more than one language on your system you must match keyboard language configuration on your Android app and the computer for special characters to function properly. Recommend this to anyone wanting to use their phone as a keyboard and mouse.
