Absolute most infectious thing I ever installed on my computer. The phone app is fine, but the PC counterpart installs a bunch of weird nonesence that conflicts with other USB devices that I use. Monect disables the ability to uninstall it's device drivers which meant I had to spend hrs jumping thru hoops to get rid of them. Google "remove Monect device" and you will see many others who have had the same issue. I suspect virus/malware. Avoid this app!!

Wanted to give this more stars until I realized you can NOT terminate the program MonectServer.exe on your PC because "access is denied". That is suspicious as hell and I uninstalled on my PC and phone immediately. Other than that, the app works well, minimal lag between phone and PC, ads aren't super intrusive or innapropriate. In short, works like it advertises, but behaves suspiciously on PC and leads me to wonder if data is being stolen/misued. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

So um, yeeaaaah.... While it looked decent... NOTHING worked!! It was a pain to have to download the other desktop app. Nothing was clarifying what the Host PC ID was. I entered every name on my computer I could find and nothing. The initial start of the PC made my YouTube videos lag a lot for the first 15 minutes while setting up. I had to uninstall immediately. The programs too frustrating to setup too many variables. Wasn't cooperating with any of the setup option; wifi, Bluetooth, nor usb.

When are you going to make it so that the remote desktop mode screen is right side up no matter which way I tilt my phone? It's getting really really annoying when my phone is plugged in I'm about to find a new app that can do the same thing as yours if it stays like that... Update, I'm about to break my phone why would the multitouch mode keep pausing and skipping the video when I tried to zoom back out after zooming in to tap the full screen option? I can't zoom back out??

This is a great app and does everything i need it two with only two issues. (1) For some reason I cannot remotely view the desktop on my new LG V60 thinQ even tho I was able to on an old samsung Note 8. (2) I have to uninstall the app on my PC every time I wish to play a game otherwise my wired 360 controller is inoperable. Still, this product delivers even with those two issues.

this app will only connect for me about 1 out of every 20 times I try. It won't find my PC the rest of the time. I made firewall exceptions for it, which didn't help at all. I contacted customer support a week ago and never got a response. the app itself is pretty amazing - except it never works, making it totally useless. It's a real shame.

In 2023, every tech company is going down a path of making their product worse for profit motivation; right clicking is locked behind a subscription. $12 a year to right click. I'm enjoying the app so far; I've just been using it for very simple remote restarting of my PC and basic clicking around. Based on the influx of one star reviews in the last month, I just missed out on this being a really useful app; I'll use it for simple stuff I guess.

Oh My GOD... This is basically all of the apps that I've used (or I've searched for but can't find) combined into one app... And some of the features is even better than the one that I've used... And it has some extra feature as well... Maybe some minor inconvenience is that the custom layout isn't comes with grid snapping, and you can't use the default icon (like the media icon) that comes with the app for the custom layout...

This is the first time I will ever give an app below 4 stars. I absolutely hate the layout of the app, and it's not just that, the app is very hard to use. When I downloaded, I hoped for all different types of gaming remotes like...for example to play minecraft, I would use up, down, left, right, space. But all I got were were some other weird stuff. I went to the help page and nothing helped me. I just wasted my thirty minutes trying to figure out how this app works. Please fix it.

Ads are EXTREMELY LOUD!!!! Please reduce the volume of the ads, they are more than twice as loud as they need to be. I'll be laying in bed watching a movie with the audio from my pc coming thru my phone, I'll open up this app to control my pc and it nearly blows out my eardrums every single time an ad plays. Please change this. It's absolutely ridiculous

Like everyone else is saying, the latest update makes a full-sized ad appear any time you turn on your screen or switch apps real quick. So we keep on accidentally clicking the ad, then closing it. It's very frustrating. I don't mind ads being at the bottom and/or top of the screen, but I do mind when it takes up the whole screen. Ruins the whole point of the app, convenience.

I used this app for years, but it seems to be getting worse. When I found this app it was amazing I could control my PC from anywhere. I could play games off of my PC as well right on my phone it was great. Eventually I couldn't play games as the app would lose connection but that wasn't too big of a issue. 4-5 months ago I had to reinstall my is for one of my PC and couldn't sign in to my account. Now as of recent Remote desktop doesn't even display, right click doesn't work and tons of ADs.

Works great! If anyone has touchpad connectivity issues after 5 seconds, you need to go the bottom right "ME" tab, and click "Quit" and then re-open the app again. It'll connect automatically. I had the same disconnecting issue as well but it happens sometimes when you have the app running in the background before turning your desktop on. The app works great and the built in emulators are cool.

The app is excellent for manipulating a computer without having to touch the computer. This is very useful for me as I can use batch files to complete tasks that would require significantly more time absent a one click, don't need to find it batch file. The reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I can't assign pictures to the utility tool shortcuts. It crashes when I attempt to. I contacted owner and received no response. If this was fixed, the app would be perfect.

Started my search for a way to use my phone's keyboard as an input method for the PC I have hooked to my main TV for watching live streams. I get frustrated having a physical keyboard on coffee table and in way all the time. This app happened to be just what I needed, and it works fairly well. Haven't spent a ton of time using it, but it's also more than just a keyboard for your PC, if you do choose. Remote desktop works well, as does media control features. Overall, a pleasant surprise!

The app is really nice, little glitchy on the remote view but it plays audio when you walk away which is more than I expected. It's a shame most of the shortcuts are broken such as the internet back button, refresh, and media player play pause buttons. I can't even make my custom layout work since the buttons I'm trying to use don't do anything. Tl:Dr; Good app for local remote view. Good mouse and keyboard app. Can put monitors to sleep. Couple useful broken shortcuts.

Very smooth and responsive via USB. But I have 3 huge problems. After 2-finger scrolling, the page always randomly scrolls up or down a bit, and the right-click menu randomly pops up. One-finger drag is too sensitive and activates by accident, so I keep moving files or other items while simply trying to move the cursor. The 3-finger drag is much slower than 1-finger mouse movement. Two finger scroll is too fast. Samsung S20 Ultra tethered via USB to Win 10. 3/24/2024

Been looking for an app like this forever & was so excited to discover yours! It has everything I want except for one thing: landscape rotation is locked in one direction. Because of how I hold my phone/where the charging port is I am holding it in the "wrong" direction making the whole screen upside down. I'm so disappointed. I was planning to purchase the app as it's exactly what I want but sadly I absolutely have to hold my phone the other direction. Can you please consider fixing this? 😞

Edit: Now with an annoying pop up when you start it up without premium! Super easy, responsive, and flexible. Can use wifi, bluetooth, or usb tethering to control your pc. No longer starts up quickly, instead now with a pop up that you have to exit out of before using and then rolls ads after you're done. While having a banner ad at the bottom so watch where you click.

Works well when it works, can't get it to work after recent updates. It's good to have when your wireless keyboard is down for whatever reason, but it's not functioning as of today Update: latest release is head and shoulders above where I left it almost 5 years ago, keyboard is the native Gboard and launch/sync with my computer is fast and effortless
