It's a great so with 3 nagging problems. 1. When you get a phone call the overlay of the app on your computer monitor is way too big and not resizetable. It should literally be 1/4 of it's current size. 2. Additionally, it won't remember where you move it and cannot be set to always come up where I put it on the 2nd monitor. 3. Phone calls continue to ring on the computer long after you answer your cell phone. This is very annoying. If it matters I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra & Window 11

Using a pixel it's absolutely useless. Hours of troubleshooting. Continues disconnecting. Also if your microphone isn't working on the computer, which is only a problem for this app. Good luck troubleshooting. They build in zero ways to test these problems. Absolute garbage but would have been amazing if it would work. How can my car do gods work but I can't use Bluetooth on my PC for answering phone calls

It's taken like 5 years for this app to be usable. But finally it works. Let's you control calls and messages via PC, share your phone screen to PC, even run an app on your PC while doing other things on your phone. However it does seem to get weird sometimes if one device is on 5ghz and the other is on 2.4ghz. could use a fix there. It's come a long way.
