  • Very fun app

    I liked this a lot although I don’t find it very helpful if I can hardly leave the room. I can only reach the bathroom and I think the distance should be extended and it would be fun if you could play while driving somewhere far. Also if we are going to be playing on iPads and phones I think we shouldn’t have the Xbox on. Overall my gameplay experience has been fun not to many glitches and it the glitches don’t bother me much. So I think it would attract a lot more people to buy this app if they knew they could play away from home. Thank you for your time

  • Great App but...

    The app is great and is really useful and unique. The only problem that I have is that the home page of the app is really bland and could use some customization. Also, the network connection from the app to my Xbox is not the best. Not sure if it’s my network connection but it glitches a lot and looses connection most of the time. Also I think that it is extremely expensive for this app and that they should at least lower the price because it really is not worth what it is. In conclusion the app is good but could use a lot of improvement

  • Great!

    Just got the app and works great so far, I will update if any issues, but so far so good, on another note to the dev, as good as this app works I would pay another $12 for an app that does the same function for the Xbox 360, why I say another app? Because I wouldn’t want this app to get any bugs due to making it work on both consoles, but if it’s possible for both on one without any issues I still pay a second fee to use both consoles, it’s that good, thanx for the app and keep up the great work.

  • This is the best thing for me!

    Seriously , this app is wonderful and allows me to play and share the tv with the wife and I can play longer sessions than usual because she can watch what she wants and I don’t have to get off, I played the Witcher 3 for a solid 45 mins on this thing. I did have very minor lag, but it was brief and I was able to enjoy my time playing it. I definitely think it’s a bang for your buck. Allows you to play your games when you have to share the tv.

    Games look very good on the screen for a solid 1080p. And I’m not sure if my one x is also enhancing it as well, but it looked so darn good playing the Witcher on this thing. Thanks for this app 😁

  • Very worth it if you like playing in multiple places around the house!

    It’s defamatory worth the price although you can’t play it anywhere you can as long as there’s a connection and as far as I have got from my basement to my loft it gets connection if your thinking about it don’t bother with other apps it’s so easy one button and it connects. Only downside is that it doesn’t look the best cause of the connection, but still more than playable!

  • Lag

    I attempt to play very frequently but my gaming experience is ruined by lag I played everywhere in the house even right next to my Xbox and I cannot go 20 seconds without a freaking lag spike disconnecting me! All in all if you have the choice do not get this app I would like a refund immediately. Also why on earth does it say lag free I bought this app with the intent off a clean lag free gameplay but boy was I wrong because the lag is horrid I attempt to play at my desk where I would usually play Xbox and it still lags I want to speak with customer service on the phone immediately to attempt to get this whole situation fixed up because as off right now I am fuming upset of the false advertisement that this company had put out

  • Perfect Experience - Just Needs tvOS Support

    I’ve had the Mac version of OneCast for awhile and it has been an excellent solution for streaming my XBox One to another room. Controls are spot on with no lag time that I’ve noticed. I have very few issues with the feed pixelating but that’s usually more a function of your router (I have my gaming setup on a dedicated network) than the software.

    I will say that my experience with the iOS app is actually even better, dang near perfect, compared to the Mac experience but that may be a function of running it on an iPhone 11 Pro Max vs. a 2017 entry-level MBP. Regardless, if you have an XBox and are looking to take it mobile throughout the house, buy this app.

    P.S. - Developers, now we just need a tvOS version so we can stream on bigger screens. Controller support is already there.

  • Half second lag on mini.

    Don’t get me wrong, this is a novel idea. My wife likes to watch shows I have no interest in and visa versa. We thought this would be a perfect solution, but it’s kind of a disappointment. I connected the controller to the iPad no problem, and the setup overall was simple. The screen size is small as expected on the mini, but I don’t read much on madden anyways. The issue I had was a quarter to half second lag. Then graphical hitches and lag stops during any movement. If you have a mini I wouldn’t recommend unless you were playing something like civ or a non-action oriented game. I don’t know if it’s any better on the pro, but my internet is not the issue.

  • A decent solution

    I got this so i wouldn't have to move my system from one room to another. Its pretty straight forward and simple to setup. Basically it views a live cast from your console with control overlay on the screen. It works surprisingly good! I have the system hooked up to a fios gigabit ethernet connection and a iphone xs max or ipad air and it runs very smooth. I can even hook up a wireless bluetooth controller xbox or ps4 and it does a very good job of controlling the games. My only hope is that it would come to the apple tv. I can airplay to my apple tv and its ok but there is quite a bit of lag especially in sound and made it difficult to play fps games or things that use fast movements. It still wasn’t bad i could manage but it could be better. All in all tho, for $12 im not going to complain much. If the developer could bring this to apple tv and make it run as well as it does on ios for tvos that would be amazing! Then it could run off an ethernet wired connection and watch on tv basically like a remote system, kinda like pstv... but so much better.

  • Works! But.....

    I am happy to report that this works as intended. I have no knowledge of technology and was able to set this up easy. It rarely lags and works well with a controller. However it does not work if you leave your home and you have to have a room relatively close to the XBox for it to work. Also a tip hook your controller up to the I pad itself (using Bluetooth) instead of the XBox. Another problem I have is that i do believe the price is a little steep but they are making bug fixes and it works exactly as advertised so can I really complain. From my experience If you want to play XBox but don’t want a get a TV this works perfectly!
