Not sure what's going on with Microsoft and their apps but all of sudden they do not work. I have uninstalled, reinstalled and still NOTHING! Can't link to windows, can't check my email because it just goes into constant spinning same as this one. It sends the Notifications but nothing is happening, just as constant spinning or "connecting..." but nothing happens. PLEASE FIX as some of us rely on these apps while on the go.

Overall, this is a nice way to access your mobile on your computer. I keep a phone window 'maximized' on the left side of my desktop for ease of messaging and to play games while still using my computer. Some apps need to be minimized then reopened to work properly. Occasionally the phone window will not load and the app will need to be closed completely then reopen, allowed to load, then retry the phone window for your desktop. Might just be a glitch, but it's annoying. Overall, a nice app.

Slows down your phone, pc, and internet when connected, even if not sharing or moving things between them. Manually disconnecting phone link will have the app start itself back up and force a connection, and its still attempting to reach out and connect to my PC, even though ive disabled it in my phone settings and phone link app settings. Microslop strikes again, just going to keep this garbage disabled all the time instead of using it occasionally. congrats on collecting personal info dev team
