A MUST-HAVE Chrome OS app! Some apps have a weird flicker effect that makes them unplayable. Still, this solves the major problem I've had gaming on my Chromebook! I love my Flip because it's so small. I also love PC gaming, but I don't want a big, ugly laptop that with a 2-hour battery. This app is amazing!

If you want to stream your desktop to a chromebook and have proper mouse control then get this. IT. IS. AWESOME!

A good app but using it under tablet mode will block the system gesture and there is no way exiting it other than reboot. Compared to the clients for other platforms, options are also too limited.
