The app is reportedly misused by scammers to hack phones and steal money, raising significant security and privacy issues. Users also report problematic customer service and uninstall issues. Despite its remote support utility, these negative factors substantially impact the app's reputation. ### Pros - Useful for remote sessions and technical support, especially for assisting people with device issues such as elderly users. - Allows viewing and advising remotely on mobile devices which is helpful in client support contexts. - Straightforward and simple to use for quick remote sessions. ### Cons - The app is often exploited by scammers to gain unauthorized access to users' phones and financial information, leading to financial losses. - Security issues exist, with users reporting unauthorized control and spying even after uninstalling the app. - Customer service is reported to be unhelpful or has been associated with scams involving the app. - The app has usability problems, such as issues generating session codes and lacking features users expect (e.g., inability for users to initiate sessions easily). - Some users find it difficult or impossible to completely remove or uninstall the app from their devices. ## Similar extensions and apps - [ISL Light Add-On: Universal](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.islonline.isllight.mobile.android.universaladdon) — 64,781 users - [RemSupp - Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.remsupp.twa) — 5,638 users - [DistantDesktop Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.distantdesktop) — 5,418 users, 3.76 / 5 - [Iperius Remote Desktop](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.entersoftware.iperiusremotedesktop) — 189,189 users, 2.11 / 5 - [IT Remote Mobile](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.itremote.mobile) — 250 users - [SSLRDP](https://chrome-stats.com/d/nl.ict_concept.sslrdp) — 1,223 users - [ISL Light Add-On: LG](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.islonline.isllight.mobile.android.addon.LG) — 3,465 users - [DeskLink Lite](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ozneksoft.desklinklite) - [Remote Desktop - by Threadmark](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.threadmark.remotedesktopclient) — 19 users - [RemoteDesktop Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.idrive.remotedesktop.viewer) — 480 users - [RemotePC Viewer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.prosoftnet.rpcnew) — 303,908 users, 4.69 / 5 - [RemoteView for Android](https://chrome-stats.com/d/rsupport.AndroidViewer) — 425,991 users, 4.03 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.islonline.isllight.mobile.android)
