Website is awful now! It won't even try to connect to a virtual computer or mobile device anymore. All it will do is just kick me back to the dashboard and say: "Connection to the remote device failed. Please try again." Absolute waste of a 30 minute free trial. 1/10.

If there is an option to give 0 stars, I will give that rating to this app as well as product. It doesn't work all the time shuts down frequently due to network issues. There are other products like Polypane which is 1000 times better than this useless buggy app.
