When it works, it's pretty good. Screen mirroring works well. But the fact that I have to unlock my phone and open the app every time to use it makes it much less than convenient. The fact that it doesn't allow me to initiate text messages from the PC side without unlocking the phone for screen mirroring is silly. The fact that sometimes it just doesn't connect despite jumping through all those hoops gives it ⭐⭐. If I'm going to do all that, I'll just continue to use scrcpy with a USB cable.

This app is great for so many tasks. Of course it doesn't transfer data to/from my phone/tablet over WiFi to my PC as quickly as connecting a USB-C cable. But if I don't want to get out of bed to connect a cable it's very convenient. I also like the mirroring and 2-way notepad features. Especially since my wall mounted TV/PC monitor can be rotated to portrait orientation. Gives me a 40" phone screen. One of Samsung's very few useful apps compared to their countless uninstallable bloatware apps.

When it works, it's pretty good. Allows screen mirroring, which allows me to access everything on my phone. It just doesn't seem to maintain a very stable connection and when it loses the connection, you have to force stop it on the phone, and go to the task manager on the PC to kill the background process, then restart it all, just to get it to reconnect. Maybe there's an easier way, but I haven't found it. With SideSync, there was a USB connection option which was much more stable. Notifications seem to work well, when it stays connected. You can reply to text messages when you get a notification, without mirroring your screen, but if you want to initiate a message, you have to either pick up your phone, or mirror the screen and do it that way. All in all, this seems like it garners an incomplete rating. Allow me the ability to initiate texts without mirroring or picking up the phone and this would be a giant leap in functionality.

I'm being nice with 2 Starts. I installed the app so I could transfer videos "seamlessly". Well that was a joke. It a 15-second video well over a half hour to download over WiFi. When I opened the video, well I guess thats really it, it wasn't a video anymore. It only transferred the audio. I'm not going to test anything else because I'm just going to uninstall it.

Can't connect using WiFi, only Bluetooth, and I've tried on multiple networks. Also not a fan of having to go into SmartView to start a new text message, and don't like the screen staying on (albeit dimmed) instead of going completely off. There's potential, but so far not worth keeping on my phone. Moving files is great and all. I personally just want to be able to text from my laptop comfortably and reliably.

Seems like with every new file transfer program Samsung takes a step backwards as to function and interface. I thought SideSync was bad but this program is even worse. Poor interface, almost primitive, tried to transfer two photos and after an hour gave up. Would not transfer files even though it was connected to my PC. Linked via WiFi or BlueTooth, still did not work. Everything was an a transfer error. Could not tag multiple files at once, etc. No help or user interface that made sense, and I have been using computers for 40 years. Much easier to just plug in a cable to transfer files, which is what I finally had to do. Samsung need to do some serious work on a better unified interface across platforms and better data exchange with data and mail programs that do not yield endless errors.
