I find KDE Connect severely lacking. It's great that it exists, and maybe it's really excellent with Android, but for iOS it's really not there yet.

Even features that do exist don't always work reliably. I can't send files between devices, most of the time clipboard sharing doesn't work either, and there's loads not implemented.

> What's a feature not in KDE connect that the writer wanted and it didn't have?

From TFA:

"And Tether now supports: iMessage, SMS, Notifications, Contact sync on Linux. In addition to its previous: File Transfer, Clipboard Sync, OTP handling."

> Wouldn't it be better to go behind established FOSS products and not reinvent the wheel when you don't have to?

From TFA:

"Before you ask, I know KDE Connect exists. It's great! If you're on Android you should definitely use it. The problem is that it didn't do what I wanted and it's roadmap indicated it never would."

Maybe next time read the article before commenting?

Let's be fair: At least some of the features you quoted do work in KDE connect in my experience, so I had the same question as GP. Even after reading the article.

		Like I mentioned, I found KDE Connect to be lacking but mostly even the feature that it does have, don't always work. So far (really only a couple hours), Tether seems a lot more polished.

		I'm sorry, do you require glasses? It's written right there. > iMessage, SMS, Notifications, Contact sync on Linux. Also email OTP handling. Furthermore, a lot (most, really) of Tether's functionality works without having to open the app. Exactly 0 KDE Connect features do that.
