## Review summary

Reviews are mixed: many praise SOS as a convenient, secure remote-support tool that saves time and works for both tech-savvy and non-technical users. However, a significant portion warn of scams and misuse, with attackers posing as legitimate support to gain access to screens or banking information. There are also usability drawbacks like portrait-mode limitations and restricted remote control that hinder some scenarios.
