This app brings screen sharing to a whole new level! I found the UI very impressive... Even better was being able to use the apps without them running in the background on my phone!

아이폰을 컴퓨터에 가볍게 터치하기만 하면 휴대폰에 있는 사진이 바로 화면에 나타나요! 사진을 찍은 후 바로 컴퓨터에서 편집할 수 있어서 정말 편리해요!

Ich möchte die Funktion nicht mehr missen, bei der man das Motorola einfach dreht und die Fotos sofort auf dem Computer erscheinen. Wer ein Motorola nutzt, sollte diese App wirklich ausprobieren. Sie hat viele praktische Funktionen.
