User Reviews/Opinion:
- Works best via USB. Fairly easy to use. But I had to go to the website to get info on transferring fotos from phone to PC, which ought to be easy as pie. Says ‘drag & drop’, but it didn’t go exactly like that. But I was able to transfer the fotos finally. I expected it to go smoother than it did. Samsung Galaxy Note 5 to Dell XPS 8500 Desktop. Edit 9/17/18. Used the app again & had the same experience, still 4 stars.
- It’s possible to type in your computer’s keyboard a little faster than this so can pass that on to the phone. But that only happens with the space bar, so just delay a bit after hitting the space bar. Everything else is great. When your phone is your only internet, it is nice to be able to download videos on your phone while you are in WiFi and then watch them on your computer’s screen via this app.
- The app works great and flawlessly! I am able to work on my tablet and connect my phone with the Sidesync app. This way I don’t have to keep reaching for my phone when I get a call or notification. They are all streamed through the app directly to my tablet in realtime. Highly recommend this app for anyone looking for screen mirroring. I suggest the app to friends and family who don’t even know they have it or how to use it.
