Whenever I try to connect to my laptop, which the app says is online and available to connect to, the loading circle appears for less than a second and then turns back into an arrow. If I wait, nothing happens. If I repeatedly tap it, nothings happens. I've tried logging off the app, closing it, but it never lets me connect. This worked fine on IOS, so I don'tvknow what the issue is here. One star so hopefully this can be noticed and fixed.

For my needs it's the best thing ever invented I'm running on a ARM64 images distributions of linux and windows 11 and it's not a single delay even when I have them all installed and I can use the app to control the machine from my phone, kudos for the update I've tried running windows on my iMac using Apple boot camp and didn't work but thankfully the parallels latest version supports virtualization

App causes display issues on desktop it is connected to, causes applications on the desktop to crash instead of run appropriately. Attempts to use applications are off target IE you attempt to click on something and the actual click will be about a quarter of the screen away. Not useful.
