Cloud Cray (ID: 000000e34a299937) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/01/2022 Don't pay for the app!!!! Broken since 2019 on all Chrome/Chromium-based browsers - no updates from the devs since then.

icon

The JS C (ID: 00000007510c3f7b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/03/2022 This extension requires you to download an app from the iphone or android store. You must pay for the app. then you must sign up for the "free" service. There IS NO SERVICE. This is fake. It is fraud. It is a way for somone to steal money from you. Do not install. Microsoft was smart enough to not put it in their extension store. Google needs to smarten up!

Danie van der Merwe (ID: 000000eec4e6b868) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/11/2021 The rating is for the extension and not desktop app. Extension reports error: "The web page at https://myphonedesktop.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address." which was reported by others since Dec 2020. Seems the URL in the extension needed to be updated? Right now it's useless unless that is updated.
