The one thing I dislike, is the trouble to finish the application in a sane way: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423497
At least in my use case (as link between Android devices and both Linux/Win PCs) KDE Connect is a real killer app. It enabled seamless integration and saved me lots of hassle and time. It really should get more exposure. I see reports that it doesn't work. These are mostly for distros where Plasma is either rather old or taking a backseat after other environment (usually Gnome). I'm having great results with the late…
The branding does a major disservice to this application - it works like a charm on my windows and i3wm setups, having no trouble sharing a clipboard and files. There are very few features if any that only work on KDE. Sometimes on windows it needs a click of the refresh button to get going after connecting to a network. The discovery is wonky on some platforms.
KDE is simply the 'community' that maintains it, makes sense why that's the branding used despite the inevitable confusion (the DE has been called Plasma for ages, and almost everything KDE works outside of it)
Gets a little funky talking to my iPhone but I’m surprised how easily things like the remote control work right out the box
when it works it's amazing. but very often both my phone and laptop are connected to the same WiFi, yet kde connect can't see them. I can't figure out how to diagnose and solve that when it happens
If I was working on KDE Connect I would add a microphone and speaker based pairing system using OFDM modulation lifted from Rattlegram. Each device would share all IP addresses associated with themselves using sound to broadcast the information.

Thanks for sharing

It’s pretty dreadful on iOS, presumably due to OS constraints. I miss how amazing it was on Android.
