It's ability to connect your phone to your computer is honestly awful. It would be better if they just openly popped up a window and told you to pick the IP, but they even have to hide that and not support it on every platform.
My laptop's plugged in my phone's on a Wi-Fi network they're on different VLANs. They could let me search for it by DNS name. They could let me just use a couple of static IPs so when I go from home to work it could find it in either place.
If you have any equipment beyond a crappy one band ap, it's just going to fight you every time you want to use it.
I love the software, I love the plugins It's just too damn bad that You have to remember to screw with it every time you think you might want to use it.
