    Absolutely incredible. If I could use a BT mouse and keyboard on my 1520 this would be the only remote machine I would need on a short trip. Kudos MS dev team!

    This app is just awesome. I don't know why people complain that Windows Phone doesn't have apps. Windows phones are the most productive phones, than any other phones on this earth.

    I love having this tool so that I can connect to my Win 8.1 Update PC and then use touch-oriented apps via the phone. Highly graphic games like Star Wars: Commander and Age of Empires are way too sluggish, though. They work reasonably well when connecting from my iPad mini, but not when connecting from my Lumia 925. I hope performance improvement is in the works. :)
