Extremely laggy. Doesn't even work well when things are fine. Playing audio through the device / PC doesn't work. Notifications are extremely low quality. Instead of loading the app on the PC, it does a background screenshare.
never set this up, makes no sense
sketch af
after use this I can't get OTP on my mobile and it's received only in May pc and I removed my device but I can't get OTP again it's west of time
why can't I transfer my phone pictures to my PC? worthless app!!
why would any one want to link to micro creep?
baaaaadddd
very difficult
Most persistently annoying app I've ever used. It disconnects from my PC all the time, and it's like a coin toss whether any of the solutions to reconnect it will work. I shouldn't have to reboot my PC or remove and add my device each time I want to reconnect. It might stay reliably connected for a couple of days before it randomly decides it's just not going to anymore. To top it all off, the Send Feedback function doesn't work and will just infinitely load when you try to hit send.
doesn't connect
if it is possible to give zero starts, I would this app is terrible. it always disconnects, none of the online troubleshooting tips work. it is the most frustrating app I've ever used, and Microsoft doesn't care to fix it
won't link pc properly
even if I have good internet connectivity in both pc and mobile I still cannot connect btw these two. They keep showing that my phone is offline even if it's clearly not.
not working properly
didn't install it and can't uninstall it. never used it and didn't know it existed until i discovered it in my update list. doesn't show up in app list
i dont use windows, how do i delete/remove this app?
Nice idea needs refinement. Never connets or wants to stay connected.
nothing but problems after problems
Used to work great, suddenly not everyone's texts show up on pc. Will be looking for a better app that actually works.
Sucks
connection with phone in PC has been intermittent. now I lost connection and can't connect.
they won't let you uninstall it
very worst 😞😞
scam fraud and i had a family member put this on my phone and o want it off
Doesn't have simple functionality, all I want to do is be able to copy links from my phone into Windows and it can't do it. Why I supposedly have to toggle a feature on within my settings to enable this is also beyond me!
If you prefer a slow and frustrating experience on your gaming computer, especially if everything slows down in a terrible way, please use this application. Thank you.
Feels like the app is forced upon me.
Not working. i connected this all with my laptop QR scan + Microsoft account login, but still it shows both devices are offline. The internet was working fine on both devices and both are on the same LAN.
no option to copy paste in between two device..its a basic feature.. lol such a waste.
bcoz of this app my banking apps are not working. why it is system install.
this is suck!! can't connect to my pc. it's stuck in loading tsk
pc app keeps crashing many times daily
Horrible. I never works properly
bloatware
It used to be great and the connectioned was almost fluid. But now you have hard time just staying connected. It disconnects out of the blue but there's no sign. Refreshing the desktop app does nothing so you need to toggle the on/off option from the computer's setting to reconnect. Another annoying thing is is that you were able to send links through Phone Link/Link to Windows and now you can't.
2026, still terrible. Setup is better. VPN comparability is still a no go. regular use is also very hot or miss at times and requires regular restarts of the entire application.
App is broken (again) after last update
this app supposed to make a connection between a phone and a computer but it uses internet! it's so ridiculous because connection should be on the local network not internet. also this app can't make a direct connection between phone and computer without network.
Never works
sucks ssa
hate this
awful, starts itself without me wanting it to, cant remove
Makes things so compicated
it's constantly wanting me to update it I do not want to connect it to my
Is this an alpha build? Terrible connection quality. Constantly needing me to verify I've made the connection request, after i did it 1-2 minutes ago. Absolutely kills my battery
can't share URL's. used to be able to do this. Now an update and it's broke.
i just don't use this app as much anymore Ty, Samantha Gød Bless
can't connect properly and do things like select all photos from a folder to transfer at once. time consuming app
inconsistent
any problem for another country,,
