User reviews
Pros
- Easy to use for remote access and remote work.
- Free of charge compared to paid alternatives like AnyDesk or TeamViewer.
- Efficient and reliable connection suitable for daily tasks and remote assistance.
- Good cross-platform usability, including mobile to desktop connections.
Cons
- Recent updates have broken input functionality, especially mouse and keyboard controls.
- New restrictions prevent simultaneous use of macros and remote control, causing frustration for gaming and automation users.
- The app sometimes shows a persistent 'desktop is currently being shared' message and drops inputs on mouse movement.
- Installation issues and errors on certain platforms (e.g., Mac mini, Windows 7, Linux), including infinite install loops.

Used to work like a charm, been using this for remote work since Covid pandemic first started. Now if I move my mouse the whole thing just completely drops my inputs and shows "your desktop is currently being shared" message. Can't recommend this to anyone

Amazing. Much better than Anydesk even though its free. I love how easy it is to upload/transfer one file from one computer to another. Perfect for my use case

2년 가까이 잘 쓰고 있는데, 가끔씩 1~3초간 딜레이가 있는 경우가 있어요
마침 지금도 그런 현상이 생겨서 알아보던 도중에 리뷰를 쓰고 있는거구요
인터넷이 느려진 것은 아닌거 같은데...
