2024-10-18	Rodrigo Marques	It works, but a much more interesting approach would be if the module in Windows emulated a biometric reader that was recognized in Windows Hello. We could use this app on Android to unlock Windows through Windows Hello and unlock other software on Windows that uses Windows Hello Fingerprint to unlock. With that, we could save a lot of money by using this app instead of buying a fingerprint reader.
2024-09-29	Gabriel Benvenitz	Sorry I cannot get the app to work as intended. Can't unlock my pc using my fingerprint. It just says incorrect user name and password after I set up the account on the app. Is there anyone that can reach out to me to troubleshoot this. I have tried it all and cannot get the app to work. I even paid for it thinking that's where the mistake was and with no avail. Thanks!
2023-05-26	Lee C	Brilliant app but could look nicer! It's relatively straightforward to set up, and does exactly what it's meant to. I can now remotely log in which is handy if I want to start Steam to play on another TV. Can't get WOL to work, so I use another app for that. No big deal. Only very minor niggle is it's such a dull looking app! Maybe the widget could actually be a fingerprint image? That would look so cool.
2020-07-08	Nick Datesh	I've had the app installed for a while and it worked very nicely (5-stars). I didn't use it all the time, but it was great. Then came a Windows 10 update and not it does not work at all. Windows refuses to recognize its existence. That knocks off a star but it really is a deleted star for Windows 10 Update Whatever. UPDATE: Thanks to Windows 10 Update, I had to uninstall and reinstall both the Android app and the Windows app. The developer was extremely responsive and helpful.
2020-07-04	Bcoolsample	I use to love the app worked great for months until about 3 weeks ago. I had reset the app and went to add my account information backup it kept saying that I needed a initial finger print scan but never popped up with the thing for me to scan it. Other than this issue I would say the app is worth 5 stars is makes unlocking your pc alot faster from anywhere on your network as long as you have it turned on.
2020-05-27	Hamtaro YT	The app does as it says, you can unlock your computer with your phone's fingerprint, perfect for lazy people like me when you are laying in bed and turn on your PC remotely. Make sure you download their driver though, or it won't work. I was skeptical as to why it was on Google Drive but their ToS clearly states it only runs when logon is active, and shuts down when you are logged in. Fantastic app! I will definitely donate when I get the money!
2020-04-24	A Google user	This App enables you to unlock your computer easily via your Mobile Fingerprint Scanner and has amazing features such as WoL and the ability to change Tethering Options as well, most of these features are for the Pro Version. On the free version, you'll only have the capability to keep one account & computer on the system and will be able to unlock as usual without WoL. The apps background is just white-coloured and user-friendly too; I would recommend this app for your next use.
2020-02-20	A Google user	Nice app with great potential. Still lots of room for improvement. Bought instantly even without trying first, because of the concept. 1. Add an option to lock the pc screen from the app itself. 2. Add a totally transparent widget. 3. There is a bug which lets the app unlock the computer automatically afterwards if you have swiped your finger when the pc screen was not locked.
2020-02-12	A Google user	Purely awesome! I can finally unlock my pc with my phone using the fingerprint scanner! There are just a couple steps and the instructions are pretty easy to understand if you have basic general knowledge of computers/tech support. You have to install the companion program on windows for it to work but it's quite simple. There's even widget support so I can do it with one easy tap on my phone. Overall a fantastic app, kudos to the dev for figuring this out and making it available to everyone!
2020-01-12	A Google user	Been using this app for a while now on many devices with both capacitive and under screen fingerprint scanners. Works just amazing. One feature request though. It would be amazing if an unlock screen pops up on the mobile device whenever the PC comes to the login screen. Then it would just be a single touch on the device and it'll go right back to sleep.
