Comments and Reviews
it works as stated but there could be room for improvement as this is the only app that allows your smartphone to use as pen tablet for free
It has a lot more feature than the others. I use it on Linux and an iPad, the app would allows me to see any open window or the entire desktop, and it also allow me to control it using the Apple pencil and the iPad touch screen.
The only time the app is not work so well is when I try to control an app on another virtual desktop. PS: The shared photos of the app don't do it justice at all.
