## Review summary

The app is strong for streaming from a PC to other devices and works well when the network is solid, with portable use and configurable inputs as key benefits. It shines for bed or travel sessions and even remote PC control, plus good performance on Vision Pro. However, many users report repeatable problems with connectivity, lag, and input in-game, and some features fail when away from the host (Wake on LAN). Audio issues and platform-specific quirks (Mac, second monitor, store access) are also noted. Reliability remains the main drawback.

### Pros

- Great for portable streaming (bed, travel, lunch breaks)
- Plenty of options to configure buttons and input methods
- Easy to use with low input delay on a strong PC
- Works well on devices like Vision Pro
- Enables remote access/control of another PC

### Cons

- Frequent connectivity issues and lag over Wi‑Fi
- In‑game input problems (tapping, right stick, general controller issues)
- Unreliable away from the host (Wake-on-LAN often not working)
- Audio issues (no sound from PC)
- UI limitations and platform quirks (store/community tab disabled, Mac/second monitor issues)
