Vysor - Android control on PC

Update: It seems they have worked out the bugs, at least for my S21U. It works close to flawlessly now. My only small issue: I have to plug the phone into my PC after I reboot it in order to get wireless to work. Great product. Original review: Difficult to get the wireless working. When it does work, it will degrade the video from time to time. I paid the $40 lifetime updates price and I was pretty dissapointed until I messed with it enough to get it to work. I'd say it's 3 out of 5 stars.

Absolutely fabulous app! Been using this since it came out and purchased the $40 Lifetime license. It connects to my PC with no problems and when choosing PTP in the smartphone's USB connection, I can access the smartphone's system files from the PC while being connected to the Vysor app. Interacting from PC to Android is spot on: copying from Android and pasting to PC & vice-versa is impressve. This is literally my best #1 App. I hope this company/dev never discontinue in support.

Very useful app. I have been using the pro version for about two years now and it's had its ups and downs, but the dev is active and updates have been consistent. It's still kinda buggy though, and it seems to not want to play nice with all phones. It will also randomly disconnect if I get a text message. Still the best out there for screen mirroring.

If you want to control your phone from your workstation, there is NOTHING like Vysor. I paid something like $40 up-front as a one-time charge for Vysor more than a year ago. This has more than paid for itself. Performs well, is updated (and improves) frequently. Highly recommended. The Desktop client app (which is just a standalone packaging of Chrome and the Vysor extension) is a bit sketchy. However, running it directly out of Chrome works amazingly. Wi-Fi based control of phones works very well. Samsung Galaxy S7.

So far so good. I will say the only things I've found difficult so far is trying to do any sort of multitouch (zooming for me), and then to look up HOW to do that, I then couldn't get to the manual. The link directs you to a google+ page which is defunct. Not big deals right now, but that makes me thing my money would be wasted if I bought the pro version, if the manual isn't even kept at an up to date page. I will also note that the ads do NOT seem super invasive.

Crashes on 2nd intro screen. Every. Single. Time. After swiping left once, you come to the screen where you must enable USB debugging. From here, you are supposed to modify developer settings. Instead, the program justs quits abruptly. I haven't used this app in over a year since I got my new PC. They recently charged me $10 for an annual subscription renewal, so I thought I would try again. It is literally useless. One Plus 6 with Lenovo Yoga.

Great concept. Wireless works better than I expected, but I'm usually hardwired to a USB 3.0 port. Be sure (at least for me on Pixel 4 XL) to pull down the Notification bar and set "USB File Transfer on". Maybe it's a setting on my phone holding back the best performance. Swipe navigation is often not recognized for me too. How do you swipe away Apps and Notifications? I can get them to the point they're almost gone, but a little stays on the screen and I have to finish the swipe on my phone. No new release in a while... I hope development will continue. I'd say it was worth the purchase price.

This application works to control your Android device through a Windows PC just fine in that it gives you control of one or more devices but prepared to be interrupted constantly if you're using the free version or dish out quite a bit of money to use it monthly (it costs more than a Netflix subscription). In the past, the software occasionally had an advertisement that was not very intrusive but with the latest version, it will completely interrupt what you're doing (and for me it does so more frequently than every 15 minutes, more like every 5-10 mins). This will completely stop youtube videos or interupt podcasts or other work I'm doing on the Android device. I hate the update and find it illogical since the previous way it presented ads was fine and I could live with that (wouldn't you want perpetual ad revenue vs asking people to pay a bunch of money to use the app uninterupted for a short term gain?) At this point I'm not sure I want to give them any money or continue use of the app, I may just go find a better app.

The app is great if you know what you're doing. You have to turn on developer mode to gain access to "usb debugging" (pretty simple. I'm more upset with the fact that it takes over keyboard control (of the phone) and won't allow any input until I go to playstore to uninstall app. Then my keybord works great, plus i get no more ads after that as well. 😋 Other then that it's good; gets the job done.

You have to pay for everything on PC. Higher quality viewing, fullscreen window, literally ALL the options in the settings menu. I rate this a 1/10 solely on the fact that this is listed as a free application but you have no control over anything unless you pay. The only thing this is good for is using my PC keyboard with my phone. Nothing else you can use it for since the quality is so low, but I'm sure I can find a work around in the code.

I paid for, and I am otherwise am happy with the Pro version. I would give it 5 stars if the developer would: 1) have a more useful help portal instead of what little is there on the webpage; 2) respond to the several emails I sent. Issue: 3) Some time ago, in the late 2.xx version, and certainly in the 3.xx version, the volume control button was removed from the Vysor PC interface. This is highly inconvenient, as I used it mute streaming audio on my phone, right from the PC screen. Well, now that feature is gone and my requests have gone unanswered. I'd like it back. So three bothersome issues, each costing a star. Hey folks, I tried every which way otherwise to reach out and I am very put out at this point. Can I actually get the courtesy of a reply? I'd gladly give all the stars back if you'd address these issues!

Very useful. I do not want to "be on my phone" at work so having this in a Window keeps my phone out of my hands. Setup was pretty easy. Hardest part (not actually hard) is to set up the phone with USB debugging in dev options. App crashes rarely but restarts on it's own. It does not seem to remember some of my settings but that could just me me not configuring properly. Paid for $40 lifetime license for good developer that has had other useful software I have needed in the past.

I like that I can view stuff on my computer screen, without getting tunnel vision after a while, but the FULL SCREEN ads really mess me up. A few minutes ago, I was racing online on an android game (btw in 1st place) and an ad came up. When the ad was done, I had lost the connection, I wouldn't have won.The 10 second warnings are nice, but I still coudn't pause because it was an online race. Please consider maybe displaying ads on the side of the screen (preferrably where the black borders are)

Purchased the Full Version. Fantastic program, I use this program to stream from my phone all the time. It's great for relaxing, and playing some of my mobile games on a bigger screen in general. Recent has gotten a bug where you can no longer properly full screen anymore, though. Only Maximize the screen with the Fullscreen option. :c I would love to see this fixed. If it gets fixed it would be a 5 star for sure. Nothing wrong otherwise.

The concept of this app is good. It is better than other apps that only allow you to view Android screen on your computer - but do not allow you to interact with the screen from the computer like this one does. This app also does not use the browser on computer like those apps - another plus. Unfortunately, even the paid version does not do all that it is advertised to. I still cannot go full screen or wireless. Also, the settings don't stay where I set them at. Have to change every time I use.

Good app. I like it. It can be a bit fiddly to get everything working together and displaying on your computer, and every now and then it freezes. Still, you can get the quality very sharp and close to your original source- much of the time. But, there are times when the quality degrades, and you aren't sure why. It is a USB connection, after all. Nonetheless, I use it constantly. The demo is almost unusable, if you download this, be ready to buy it or rent it per month.

Bought the lifetime license today. I used this product off-and-on over the past 4 years because I love how simple it is to set up and navigate. Totally hassle free. This app deserves 5 stars, but I can only give it 4 because the settings pages are a bit disorganized and there's not too many things you can change. Also, it would be nice if you had a superuser mode so I can send ADB commands all in one app. Keep up the great work!

Initially very happy, since a month it crashes every few seconds and has become unusable, both via wireless, cable, Mac and Windows. Really disappointed and not worth the money I paid. [[This was: Great tool for using it in combination with my PC/Mac. Even on a corporately managed PC, I was able to use the Vysor software. Using mouse and keyboard and having the option not to always display the on-screen keyboard, I am able to really use my phone as my fully functional device. My Nokia Sirocco performance incredibly fast and I am also able to throttle the data to find the right trade off between speed/bandwidth/screen resolution.]]

Absolutely a game changer! Actually using it now to write this rating. Having the ability to control my phone without even touching my phone is incredible. I I find that I am able to actually reduce my overall screentime by using Vysor to interact with my phone. I have a Bluetooth headset and just use Google assistant to interact with my phone and then Vysor to do anything that I can't with Google Assistant. I Makes using any phone so much easier!!!

Buggy app. Desktop version won't do full screen as advertised. Mirroring audio to computer doesn't work in either the desktop or chrome extension. Phone keeps trying to launch google home to cast screen when it already is casting. Developer doesn't respond to bug reports. Other than that, it's great. If you are going to pay someone for a solution like this, look somewhere else. Even after a year, the problems still exist. No developer support. Don't waste your money.

Few things not working in Pro mode. Notifications cannot be cleared by just sliding right or left with Mouse. Secondly, sound doesnt mirror to the Computer, it keeps playing from the phone itself. Third thing is that my Launcher has infinite scroll which doesnt work through this application. Technical support for this application is also not good at all!!! You cannot contact them at all.

Despite paying monthly for the app it cuts out every ten minutes with error messages, it lags all the time, there is a checkbox list so you can make choices to suit you but it takes no notice and does what it wants.. I love the idea and find it a really useful program but it drives me insane with bugs and errors so i think i need to cut my losses

AMAZING! Better than ANY competitor! I have a MetroPCS Aristo MS210 and the USB Debuging (Security Settings) in Developer Options in not supported in this phone. Which means the Simulate Input via USB Debuging was UNAVAILABLE. Every other mirroring app I tried WOULD NOT LET ME CONTROL MY PHONE! I spent hours trying other apps. Look no further! On top of that, you can update to the Pro Version for $10 a year! This is a NO BRAINER, WHAT A DEAL! Work on SEO, Vysor should be the FIRST!

My windows app just updated and now my "High" image setting won't save after I exit the program. When I open it up again, I have to cycle through Low, Med, High to get it to the high setting again. If I don't do it that way and go straight to high, the image doesn't improve. So there are two problems there.

Works great, I've been using an android emulator for several weeks but it was a pain switching between the emulator and my actual android device, with this software I no longer need to! It works perfect aside from the audio syncing, you can fix this issue with a 3.5mm audio cord connected to your PC though so its not worth docking a star. TLDR; Works great and is worth paying for premium features.
