I have tried multiple apps trying to stream from my Android Pixel XL to an AppleTV 4K. While many of the others had nice features like well designed menus, etc, this one goes all the others I tried one better: IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!! After so many failed claims from other products. my jaw nearly hit the floor when this worked smoothly and reliably as soon as it was installed.. The ads on the free version were a bit muxh, but I barely saw them as I got to the Pro version pronto . Well worth it!

The basic function of casting with this app works fine, however it quickly becomes frustrating to use. The bar that is ment to show progress in a video does not move or display a timer, so you have to guess at where to skip ahead to or use the fast forward button. This is annoying because the app frequently disconnects and restarts videos from the beginning. I do not have this connection issue with any other apps on my device, nor my TV. The app can play most videos I've tried, but not 100%.

Update: Playlists don't work at all for me. Cant add more than one file. I'm on an S10 casting to a Roku. Decent app for casting. Usually connects without problems and plays quite a few different formats. Support for subtitles (which I think is coming) will be nice. Playlists have never worked for me, just plays one and stops even though there are multiple videos in the queue (is it only supported for pro users?)

It works well for the most part, but you can't cast from within other apps so you're dependent on it organizing your media to play and it apparently doesn't buffer photos from one instance to the next so it can take several minutes to bring up a list of photos (or music with a large collection on your phone) to cast. Meanwhile you're sitting there twiddling your thumbs while your friends ask you what the problem is. It'd be nice if you could organize the lists too and remove false photo results

THE BEST casting app for Pixel. In fact the only one I found that works. Since the Google Pixel phones don't support Miracast you normally can't cast to a device like Roku smart TV. But this app allows you to do so, including video from web pages. The UI is simple and straightforward. Some parts could be improved but overall it is well worth the purchase! Many thanks to the developers for solving this problem.

Great app!! Best Casting app I've downloaded by far. Gives many options to cast from. You can do it from phone storage, Google account, screen mirroring and web. The great thing about using web is that it auto blocks pop-ups, it scans the page and gives you a list of the different qualities of video you can choose from. They have Premium for $5 and is definitely worth it! Only complaint is that it won't support my phone's volume buttons.

Love this app so much that I bought the full version. Well worth the purchase at the time. However, customer support is apparently not a priority. I had some trouble streaming to Roku devices in the past, and they advised me to find another app that works better (novel idea). Weird model for customer retention, to say the least. In any case, the app works on newer Roku models, so I raised my rating back up to 4 stars to be fair. Hope they can keep it operational.

I would give it 5 stars...but simple "quality of life" adjustments are missing. For example, the directories is ALL of the way at the bottom of all of the videos. I already have my videos organized so I don't want to have to scroll down to the bottom...why not have that on the main menu or at least at the top!? Secondly, you can't view in landscape... It might not seem like a big deal, but I have seasons of TV shows and I can't see the episode number when I'm viewing in landscape. So I'm left to guessing and tapping.... It would be so much easier to have some easy to view the entire name if the file BEFORE it begins to launch.

Works great when choosing to play aVideo. It connected to the Hisense tv immediately. One issue is that by doing that you are forced to use the built-in video player which sucks. THE option to cast your screen only works if your tv has something called Miracast, which I have never heard of. I don't understand how it can connect so quickly by choosing Video yet it cannot cast, because that's what it's doing when it plays a video directly

Works better than expected 👌. I had to detract 1 ☆. The app is still better than many others. However, I'll often have to close it and restart it, for instance, if I'm watching a series and want to watch the next one. Also, when I try using the ip with my JVC Roku TV the picture shows in just one corner of the screen. Maybe, I'll be able to eventually find the settings to correct it, but it's annoying.

Works very well! Downloaded this on one phone and it started to work, but wouldn't actually show the video. I downloaded two other apps on a second phone, but they wouldn't even connect. I finally turned off the VPN & voila, the first app (this one) immediately worked. Yes, I'm a little hard-headed. lol Disconnected and tried to connect on my other phone, with one of the other two apps. Neither one worked. I deleted both apps, downloaded this one on that phone, and boom, it works!

Skip the other apps, because this one works! I tried four apps that had different names, but looked exactly the same once I opened them. They didn't do anything except change the channel on my TV. I have a Roku TV and so I had to install a streaming "channel" called Xcast to my TV in order for this app to connect my TV. But, it only took about thirty seconds and then I could connect. I only used the free features, but there are paid premium features as well.

I enjoyed the free version for months, and then I upgraded because I used it so much. Roku, Chrome Cast, and others are going to be in every home soon, and it's nice being able to cast whatever is on my device onto large displays when I visit friends and family. Even they ask my kids, my pets, my projects, or where we went last summer, I can just cast it up on the screen for everyone. It's like having a slide/video presentation in your pocket, only it's better. Awesome app!

purchased for no ads. still has ads (feedback icon), which will not go away regardless of how much feedback given. i would recommend you move it to the side bar as an action button. it just makes more sense, instead of seeing it on the main media screen after casting.. - help section, very informative and self explanatory. - otherwise, slightly bugging connecting to device, but restarting the phone is a healthy troubleshooting solution. very streamlined, better than all other apps.

When I tried it in 2021 it was garbage but now it's the best casting app I've used. I just paid for the premium version. Just one issue, the seeking buttons don't work properly. Even when You adjust the settings so that it skips forward more than ten seconds and skips forward a couple minutes, It still only skips forward ten seconds at a time. And trying to manually skip forward with the slider doesn't work. So it's near impossible to fast forward. Also, the browser doesn't have multiple tab

Works amazingly well it has an ad blocker also. If you watch alot of anime or movies from websites you know how many redirects and pop-ups those websites have. I've had trouble getting other apps to work, but this app works 98% of the time and is worth the money. If you have a roku this is a must have app. It's sometimes a little stubborn but just go to settings in roku and just reconnect to your network and it will pick it up. I use this app everyday and it's was well worth the 3$ I paid

The app has been starting to freeze, even with the battery optimizing turned off/override. My Chromecast dongle works, right now I am casting via an almost identical casting app and so far so good. They horrifyingly asked for a rating as soon as I opened the app. I am thinking that the culprit is the Chromecast dongle choice. I chose correctly, but there is some reason why it freezes.

Worked better before paying. Paid to get rid of the ads that were out of control. Now drops often. I use many apps across multiple platforms. This is the only app that drops casting. Today months after my initial review I have removed this app. It keeps updating, then tries to charge me and throws ads up. But today was it with a screen announcing how my info will be shared, and basically sold. Very weak don't waste your time with this app. I have been building networks longer than your life.

It's ridiculous how many ads pop up before you can do anything. Then it's another challenge to close it because it makes a weird sound when you touch it. The button could be in the top right corner in the middle on the top it could be somewhere on the bottom all this just to have it hidden or distracting long enough just to run extra ads. Then there's the disconnecting issue but there's only so much I can say within 500 words so I'll end it here uninstalled. Greedy people makes bad mirror app.

Connects to my Fire TV. That's the only thing that's good about this app. Problems are that it is a pain to connect. And doing wireless display brings up my neighbor's TV, which I have almost accidentally connected to many times. Sick of different TVs popping up on the list as I'm about to click on the TV I want (when it finally appears on the list) and I end up clicking something different.
