Compared with my old method of trying to talk my grandson through his phone over the phone, this is far easier. I can see the screen and fix the settings myself. It took a little while to find the right permissions but it's been reliable since.

The connection drops only if my home wifi is being silly, which is hardly their fault. Clipboard sync between my laptop and phone is handy too, and I've stopped emailing myself links. Support answered a question about multiple devices within a day, and I've used it most…

What annoyed me was the renewal, which came through a week before the date I expected and charged me the full amount. A quick email got it sorted, but I'd have liked a reminder.
I needed it because my work phone got locked and IT was slow to sort it out. The remote access got me in and the app itself is quick enough. The subscription is a bit pricey for a single user though, so I'd look at the cheaper tier first.
