## Reviews

### "An excellent remote access app" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 October 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. The biggest advantage is that it is free for everyone to use.
2. Download size is very less and installation happens very quickly and easily.
3. It is very feature rich- File transfer feature, multiple connections option and demonstration mode which allow the remote user to view the desktop but not move cursor and use keyboard.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not find anything to dislike in the app but i wanted to suggest to the developer to increase the size of the options menu on the left hand side of the app.
> 
> Finally, a good and freeware remote access software app with many features.

### "Not the top remote desktop software" — 1.0/5

> **David** | *27 July 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I could sometimes get access to a client server I needed to access.
> 
> **Cons**: Many times, I just could not connect. This led me to another product.
> 
> Dismal at best. Slow response for customer support, even after I paid. I asked for a refund because it's just not working right for me and they don't answer.
