Screen mirroring doesn't require the phones and the computer to be on the same network. A practical solution for various scenarios.
4. Remote Control Android devices
You can take full control of your Android devices, without rooting your devices, just need to connect to the AirDroid PC client for a fast setting, to do whatever you want to do on your Android devices remotely, ex, play games, open an app, check the phone status.
Remote control for AirDroid is easy to set up and runs smoothly even if your device is on the other side of the globe.
*If you need to remote control an Android device from another Android device, you need to download AirMirror for the controller device.
5. Remote Monitoring
Make use of unused Android phones and have them be your eyes by using the remote camera feature. Monitor the device surroundings, or listen in on environmental sounds with One-Way Audio, so you don't need to stay on the screen at all times.
You can check in on newborns and pets or safeguard your home, all without spending extra on new cameras.
5. Notifications & SMS Management
AirDroid helps you focus on work by letting you manage the phone right from your computer.
You can receive and send texts, connect to headsets, enter or copy the phone number and make the call right from the computer. The Notification feature allows you to sync your phone's app notifications (such as WhatsApp, Line, and Facebook Messenger) to the computer, and you can directly reply to them on your desktop. Important messages are always up-to-date.
6. Make calls on PC
You can import phone numbers in bulk directly on the AirDroid desktop client, click to call, and talk to your customers or friends through the handset or Bluetooth headset of the phone. AirDroid helps you avoids the trouble of manually entering phone numbers on mobile phones and possible errors, and improves your efficiency.
FAQs:
Q: Do I have to register an account to use AirDroid?
A: With an AirDroid account, you can enjoy all the features under the local and remote connection. If you don't want to register, you can use AirDroid under the same wifi with limited features.
Q: Does AirDroid free to use?
A: You can use AirDroid for free under the local area network. When running under a non-local network, the free account has a 200MB/month data limit and cannot use the remote camera. We recommend that you upgrade to premium to enjoy unlimited remote data and unlock all functions and services.

★★☆☆☆ Oz StickPlayer · 20 Jan 2025 · v4.3.8.1I recently got the latest version, and it is terrible. multiple tries just to transfer between an Android phone and a Windows computer. when it finally does work, at the receiving end it won't let you save the file, complaining with the mysterious message that your Android version is "too new". So basically, an unnecessarily complicated, poorly working. So, multiple windows machines, multiple Android phones, and never has this worked well. if anything it works much more poorly now.Developer reply · 23 Jan 2025Hi Oz. Thanks for your review! Please don't hesitate to reach out over email if you have any questions. And it would be appreciated if you could give us 5 stars(★★★★★). https://help.airdroid.com/hc/requests/new

★★☆☆☆ Tony Hepworth · 25 Oct 2024 · v4.3.8.1This "Remote Access" is really only included if you pay for the premium version. It's customizable but requires lots of additional verification and is relatively slow for Android users. Honestly, Windows Phone Link is better, though less capable in terms of mirroring. Phone link is free and works much more seamlessly for the notifications and messaging. Airdroid requires that you change the input method to a keyboard (which also requires a device addon) before it will even let you type.

★★★★☆ Tiye Global · 25 May 2024 · v4.3.6.0I've been using AirDroid for a few years now and was a lifesaver when needing to transfer files across devices when a cable transfer was not an option. It has worked across 2 different iPhone, 2 different androids an a laptop. It can sometimes be glitches but I've never had a major problem beyond needing to close out the app and restart, and the reason for 4 stars. Overall, it's a handy app that does what it says and which I use fairly often.

★☆☆☆☆ Daniel Bundrick · 31 Dec 2023 · v4.3.3.0I honestly don't know how to get this app to work anymore. It's asking for permissions, but I've already enabled all the permissions I can. Maybe there's some other app that works. OLD REVIEW: I used to use this app all the time, but it's become so convoluted with pointless complexities, blocked activities, difficult or impossible connection procedures which make it unusable. I can no longer connect to my computer with the intuitive ease with which I used to. I want my old AirDroid back.

★☆☆☆☆ Jonathan Perez · 7 Jul 2023 · v4.3.1.0Terrible experience. I thought you'd be able to transfer via USB since they're other app lets you use it to cast. You can't. After finding that out I asked for a refund but they wouldn't give it saying I transferred too much (1 file about 400mb which didn't even transfer because of slow connection). I owned the product for an hour, now I'm stuck with it for a year. Disappointed.Developer reply · 11 Jul 2023Hi Jonathan. Thanks for your review!

★★★★☆ Nathan Hand · 13 Apr 2023 · v4.2.9.13It's very helpful. However, it shouldn't make you have to upgrade to the Premium Paid Version after only sending a few files or items! You should make it compatible with Free-Users, for however long it takes! Just not any Large Files, without the software upgrade! Re: I will definitely give a 5 star rating if you guys improve or at least least Lengthen the Free Trial Period!Developer reply · 17 Apr 2023Hi Nathan. We believe that quality software and services are worth paying for. The premium keeps us improving AirDroid service and developing more useful products. If you don't want to purchase AirDroid premium you can still completely free to use all of the features of AirDroid under LAN mode.

★☆☆☆☆ Gargantua Blargg · 23 Jan 2022 · v3.2.6Update 2: Trying again years later on Android 11. Requires login before I can do anything. Create account on their website. Can't log in with app using same login. OK, create separate login for app. But... can't use that login on website. It's like the two systems don't talk to each other. Failed again. I ended up using a simple SSHD app to access files with zero problems. Update: neutered in Android 8 (Oreo) due to system restrictions. can't mirror screen or control from desktop PC at all without installing special software on the PC. Oh well. Fantastic amount of stuff you can do through a we

b browser, but I can't get it to stop running itself in the background all the time after I'm done using it and exit the app. I've disabled all automatic features, extras, automatic update, etc. but even when I kill it it keeps re-running a few processes. I already installed it a while back but uninstalled due to this, and will probably be uninstalling it again for the same reason. I only use it occasionally so having it bloat up my system 24/7 isn't worth it. Apparently they acknowledged this issue years ago in their forums and promised a fix, but they've never fixed it. Meh, I'll stick with other apps that provide the features I use.Developer reply · 24 Jan 2022Hi Gargantua. We'd be happy to help figure out what's going on, could you please reach out with a bit more information and screenshots so that we can look into this with you. https://help.airdroid.com/hc/requests/new -
★☆☆☆☆ Larry Kelley · 20 Jan 2022I never got it to work. It said my email address wasn't valid. I uninstalled it. During the configuration I unchecked a offer for a free trial of some unrelated bloatware but they subscribed me anyway (for $4.95 a month after the free trial). I may have to cancel my credit card to get free of them.Developer reply · 21 Jan 2022Hi Larry.

★★★☆☆ Story Time with Mrs. Cynthia · 2 Sep 2020 · v4.2.5.3I loved it at first. I'm a teacher doing distance learning. I was using it as a "document reader" through remote camera. However, lately it's been freezing, disconnecting or just not working. Hopefully that is something that get fixed. I can't afford to buy an actual document reader! Update: now they charge for the remote camera. Will the purchase make it better because it still disconnects and freezes??Developer reply · 3 Sep 2020Hi AirDroid.

★★★★☆ A Google user · 20 Apr 2020 · v4.2.5.2AirDroid is a pretty good way to broadcat and control your devices remotely. You don't need to do anything drastic to connect your devices, and it's easy to set up (~15 minutes). However, it has about 0.25-0.5 second delay and low quality if you do not have the pro version purchased. Overall, it is an easy way to display your devices and control them, free or purchased.Developer reply · 22 Apr 2020Hi Nicholas, thank you for your support! Did your device and PC under the same wifi? Would you please use another network to see if that could solve the delay and low-quality problem? You can contact us via support@airdroid.com
