Overview

MirrorOp Receiver is a remote control application developed by Barco NV, which transforms your mobile device into a control pad for your desktop computer. This free software allows you to open files, play videos, and launch applications on your PC from your mobile device, including gaming.

Operation

For the MirrorOp Receiver to function, your desktop must have the MirrorOp Sender app installed. Rather than using IDs to access the computer like some other apps, this software requires you to initiate the sender app on your computer and establish a connection to the receiver before you can remotely control it.

Usage

MirrorOp Receiver provides a straightforward method of converting your smartphone or tablet into a remote control for your PC. As stated, the MirrorOp Sender app must be installed on your computer. To couple the two devices, you must start the receiver app on your phone, then run the sender app on your PC and wait for it to identify your mobile device. A connection is then established by clicking the connect button.

Upon connection, your phone will display your desktop screen, allowing you to manage your PC remotely. You have the ability to open folders, files, and play videos. You can also launch applications and operate them from your smartphone. For example, you can open your word processor and draft your document. Most importantly, you can initiate your PC games and play them on your phone.

Performance

Despite its seemingly promising features, the performance of MirrorOp Receiver may fall short. While you can launch applications, the response time may be slower than desired. Additionally, the smaller screen size could make it more challenging to use your PC applications due to smaller buttons. It also has the potential to slow down your device. These issues may occur if the app operates correctly, which is not always the case.

Conclusion

While the developers of MirrorOp Receiver promote it as an exceptional remote access app, there are arguably superior options available for free. The application has numerous downsides that could deter even casual users. Its usage is possible, but poor user experience could be a significant drawback.
