I used to like having my phone constantly linked to my PC without needing to think about it, especially for copy-paste functionality. Unfortunately lately the app has been draining my battery in the background like crazy, where usually I'd end the day with about 20-30% battery left, now it's completely drained before I even finish the day! I turned it off from the phones settings (samsung) and I won't be using it until it's fixed. Turning it off and on is not a solution.

I can no longer get my pictures to load. I've had to fight with it to get the thing connected. The pictures I did get loaded can't be opened because the file is corrupted??? With brand new pictures...it won't automatically transfer to my file any more and I'm getting tired of messing with it. I tried reinstalling today but it still won't work. I'm so done.

Difficult to use when switching between computers. The app seems to work well on my laptop. However, when I access my home desktop, I always get error messages that it's not connecting even though all my settings are the preferred and recommended. Not sure why it has such a hard time moving between one computer and another since the phone is supposedly linked to both computers
