Hidden disconnect and forget option. Like a virus. Missed the opportunity to make a good app by making it hard to disconnect other than forgetting the device completely. This gives a sense of a virus or a spying app. Why do you people do this? I can't understand!. Simply allow user to disconnect device anytime, just like how they connect to begin with.
Works surprisingly well. All that's needed is your PC to be connected to the internet and you can get texts, photos and now notifications from the phone on your PC. There are features still missing (you can't copy phone numbers on your PC; texts marked as read on PC aren't marked as unread on the phone; it doesn't work when your PC is in battery saver) but Microsoft has made good progress on this app. Most importantly, it works without too many hiccups.
