Recent reviews

Great app, but there is an issue. When I switch off my phone, after a minute I see TCP reset packet on host:9212. If I switch on the phone later and try to control the host, it doesn't work. I have to leave the control page and return to reestablish TCP connection. Also, ads too intrusive =).

Was trying to gain remote access to a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Samsung A9. Mouse pad was working but keyboard, couldn't input English, though it has always been my first choice of input language. Tried to change the phone settings but nothing seemed to work. Tried to add a second RPi to the list but never made it. Looked like the it was always running at the background of the first device once it had been added. Need help to kill the process. Nothing seemed to work after un-and-re-install...

Seems interesting, but couldn't get it to work. Followed all instructions to install, no firewall, same WiFi. But unfortunately Discover never worked. Would be nice to be able to enter an IP address manually.
