Excellent implementation. I use it with my PC while I'm working. It's an impressive experience. I get access to all my apps, even security sensitive ones unlike with Link to Windows, so never have to pick up my phone. And thus far, the PC connection has been seemless. It's a huge step up from Link to Windows for me. I'll be using Motorola devices for the foreseeable future.

So before this app updated to whatever this is. I was able to easily transfer files and such from my phone to my computer. Now since it updated. I can't do any of those things. It kinda upsets me and wish they return the old ready for back. Like literally...you tap the file option. It doesn't work. It always says "unable to start activity please restart app" which I've done and same loop error. Seriously, if it ain't broken why did you have to mess with it? Edit: They fixed it in update.

I'm constantly having issues connecting to my 55" Roku TV. It's never consistently reliable. I was just casting last night, after not being able to for nearly the whole week, then I wake the next morning to cast and it can't connect to my TV. Resetting the TV's network settings doesn't work. The TV is updated. I restart my phone and that doesn't work. This is very frustrating.

Doesn't work following the Android 14 update. It can be very slow over WiFi - especially, for some reason, when using a touchscreen laptop. Scrolling can be impossible as it takes several seconds to register a touch and then it will suddenly scroll through huge chunks of whatever you were looking at. Edit: Android 15 fixed it! Then a bi-monthly update broke it again. Come on Motorola! This is the best feature you have - look after it.

This app brings screen sharing to a whole new level! I found the UI very impressive and like how it turned my screen projecter into a laptop with all of the apps on my phone accessible. Even better was being able to use the apps without them running in the background on my phone!

There is no connection on the first time and sometimes even after the connection is established, it seems that there is no sync between the phone and the TV , its lagging and after some time it gets disconnected automatically. I think this problem has been occurring from the last few months. Initially thought it was a problem with my Wi-Fi network, but it's not. My Wi-Fi is capable of delivering speeds up to 5G. Please fix this as soon as possible. I am not able to connect my TV and phone now😤
