App is intermittent/glitchy. Right now, nothing has changed, and yet my phone link app on my laptop will not connect to my phone via Bluetooth/Mobile. And you cant just remove your phone and re-add it. It's a whole process that makes no sense which requires replacing your old connection instead of deleting and adding. But why does it disconnect in the first place? Why can't I screen share an app without granting permission every single time? Why can't I save multiple pictures at the same time

It's okay. I like some of the features it offers. They're a little bit better than using the Samsung DEX. If all you need to do is look up a quick photo. I don't like the way it automatically takes over your calls. That's not cool, especially if you use it on a work pc. Speaking of work computer, how do I get rid of the work computer of a former company off my list?

The app offers a lot of good features. Works great with Androids from what I tested. Not a fan of the notifications staying even after I cleared them on the computer. Can't close the window when in a call because it hangs up. It asks permission everytime you want to use the screen mirroring. Calls aren't a seamless or great in quality. I preferred using the Samsung Flow over this, had a better experience with it. Slows down computer and takes up a lot of RAM, battery, and CPU usage.
