Beta quality at best

The idea of this software is really cool, and to an extent it kind of works. However, the software is very immature, buggy, and lacks features.

The biggest problem - the touchscreen D pad does not work. No matter where you press it registers a right directional input. This bug came into the app after they fixed the more general touchscreen fail but (finally) after several unanswered emails.

You can play over the Internet (sometimes) when you have a good connection, but there is an issue where after a minute or two of play performance drops off regardless of connection speed and within a few minutes it is unplayable (like really unplayable, not the 5 FPS you started with) Im no expert on streaming tech but theres some major problem there with a framed dropping or some kind of leak.

As far as features go, it has a cool launcher thing so you dont have to vnc the desktop, but the problem is it tries to lock focus onto the game window, and if you somehow end up not in the game window you can get stuck and have no way to get back in without getting access to the server. Would be much better if they gave us some basic vnc tools (like send alt tab or escape or Carl alt delete if not a window switching feature) this becomes a major problem when you are playing a game, close your tablet, then reopen kinoconsole. It makes you use the launcher no matter what theres no option to just skip to the extant stream, and when you do it tries to Relaunch! A game that is already running, leading to errors (not usually a serious error, but if an alert comes up at all you have no way of navigating away from it)

In short, it needs a way to resume play.

Lots of little bugs I dont have time to list, even basic taken for granted things are missing like screen rotation support. It only works "upside down" from the perspective of my case.

All in all this software is a good idea, so it gets two stars, but it seriously needs work and should not be released to the public in its current state, especially not for money. As far as money goes, still waiting to hear back about my refund.
