    Updating the driver can be a bit challenging.

    Recently updated, now it won't stay connected for more than an hour. Very annoying, need to find something else. Auto-renew is too slow and disruptive on another monitor while it keeps disconnecting (Win10).

    Enjoy using the app, but having some trouble with touch input. Using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S-pen, I've noticed that in drawing apps, it tends to form unintended loops when writing. For instance, when trying to write 'S', it ends up looking like an '8' due to a straight line connecting back to the starting point. This issue occurs whether I'm using the S-pen or not, and regardless of being connected via USB or Wi-Fi. You can easily replicate this problem by opening Microsoft Paint and trying to draw something using your fingers.

    It's great that developers provided this amazing software for free. I didn't expect much when I downloaded it, thought it might be just another useless app. But it turned out to be really good. It's so simple to use and works with both WiFi and USB. I use it to write notes by using my android as a touch input on my windows device. Huge appreciation to the developer. What you're doing is truly helpful to society. This saved me money as I don't need to buy a pen tablet anymore.

    The setup was super easy and it worked really well. It might even prevent me from getting another monitor! There's a bit of lag, but it doesn't bother me much. I think it could be a security risk. Adding a PIN for access would make me feel more secure. Right now, it seems like my computer is vulnerable with this app. Am I overlooking something?

    When using wireless, it works, but it's really choppy. When I switch to wired mode and use USB tethering, it's amazing at first, but then my computer suddenly blue screens after a minute. I looked for solutions online and saw that even the spacedesk website acknowledges this issue. I attempted to follow all their suggested fixes, but none of them resolved the problem. It would be great if they could address this as it would make the app perfect.

    This app is amazing! It has completely changed how I work on my computer when I'm not at home. I got a tablet mainly to use it as a second screen with this app. Here are some tips from my experience: 1) A cable connection is the quickest, but setting it up can be tricky, especially if your cable is not reliable. 2) Connecting your tablet to your computer using a hotspot reduces delays compared to going through a router. 3) If using a hotspot slows down your WiFi, try switching the roles. Big thanks to the developers!

    The program works well, but you cannot exit it or prevent it from starting automatically on Windows within the program. This poses a significant security risk and is completely unnecessary. There is an option to minimize to the system tray when closed, but that happens regardless of whether the option is checked or not. Even in the system tray icon context menu, there is no option to exit the program. You need to start it once in order to be able to close it and stop it from auto-starting again.
