when it works it's amazing. but very often both my phone and laptop are connected to the same WiFi, yet kde connect can't see them. I can't figure out how to diagnose and solve that when it happens

Same here, Fedora and iOS. I've mostly stopped using it because I couldn't rely on the app working when I needed it.

The computer doesn't even change addresses, there is no need for mDNS or anything fancy, setting up devices manually once would be just fine.

Yeah eveey time I want to use it I generally need to unpair and pair it again. Weird stuff like trying to send my clipboard from my phone and it goes the other way.

It's handy, but needs work.
