  • New Hardware and Best Internet Speeds for Great Gaming

    I find that OneCast works best with newer Apple Hardware, High ISP speeds, and close proximity to your XB1. Some games that don’t support OneCase include DragonBall Kakarot a JRPG/RPG that uses no internet connectivity. I’m assuming games that don’t use XB Live wont work? You can dull down the settings which helps for lower speed ISP. I played games like Tomb Raider on OneCast and only had issues with intense game play. Prob not suited for hardcore gaming where lag can be an issue ie competitive Call of Duty, etc. It would most likely handle a Fortnite PUBG or Rocket League well due to less intense graphics? Idk.

  • Glad I bought this

    Mostly good streaming quality, sometimes the quality is bad. I have 5ghz connection to iPad and hard wired Xbox. Line of sight from the router with my iPad, still there are drops in frame rate or screen tearing. This is not common but happens occasionally. I had a second tv for Xbox gaming but it’s in a different room and I’m essentially cutting off from family if I’m in my gaming room all the time. Using this app I can be present in the living room where my wife watches tv and also keep an eye on my kid. I keep my iPad on the counter top where I eat dinner or drink coffee and get a quick gaming session going. Wife talks to Me, I can pause and respond and get back to game. I’ve played a good chunk of metro last light already streaming from this app.

  • Fantastic!!!!

    I absolutely love this app! I have no issue playing my Xbox using this app. I don't have my Xbox hard wired to the internet and I still rarely experience any lag or glitches. (It still happens but it doesn't lag very long and everything snaps back to working very quickly) It works great on both my iPhone XR and my older iPad. Great for sitting on the toilet and not missing any game time. The only thing I could wish for out of this app is the ability to stream games over mobile data. So if any of the developers are reading this please please PLEASE!! Work on that for a future update. With the Xcloud service coming out I don't see any reason why this feature wouldn't be possible. I understand that it would require 5g and unlimited data but it would be so nice to be able to leave my Xbox on at home as a server and play full games while not at home. I couldn't recommend this app enough and have been telling everyone about it since I bought it. Very very worth every penny they are wanting for it. Great job Dev team!! Thank you for building such an amazing and useful app.

  • It works

    I was extremely skeptical as to whether this would work especially when you’re talking $12 for an app. I went ahead and got it. Let me tell you they aren’t kidding so long as your Xbox is plugged into a LAN line and you’re running 5 gHz it works perfectly! I no longer have to watch my children’s shows all day whilst staring at the joy of my gaming console wishing I could log some time into my favorite games. I don’t have to “share” the tv as my wife pretends to watch her shows while playing on her phone. I can enjoy all my games and all I need to worry about is on rare occasion the sound skipping. Easily a 5/5 app and totally worth it.

  • Way better than downloading app files of “mobile versions” of games

    This app is REALLY COOL. After my first day as a newbie I got it to work. And let me tell you,this app is awesome! You can play all your games on your Xbox (as the ads tell you). Not only that but I was able to connect my Xbox controller to my iPad so now I can play Xbox on my iPad with my Xbox controller. If anyone is looking to play mobile versions of games that are Xbox exclusive, and just happen to have an Xbox with those games, then download this app NOW!!!!

  • Love this app, use it frequently to game.

    We have two Xbox One’s in my house so if my kids are using the one in the living room I’ll use the one in my office and stream it to my iPad or my iPhone XS Max so I can still game and sit with them. On a gigabit connection via a Nighthawk XR700 I experience practically no issues or lag. The interface is easy to use and it connects most of the time.

    One suggestion: I would really love to use the iOS 13 controller support and play my controller via my phone rather than having to be close to the Xbox One I’m streaming from. I don’t know if this feature is blocked by Apple or Microsoft and not possible, but if you could add it that it would make this app incredible. Thanks!

  • BORDERLANDS 3 USING ONE CAST FTW

    I recently got this app and have been running my Borderlands 3 on both IPhone X and 2nd Gen IPad Air. Both devices work flawlessly and there is virtually no lag. I was skeptical at first but as long as I am hardwired with Ethernet on my Xbox One (first gen) and using 5ghz WiFi on my iPhone X or IPad then I have had literally no issues using the streaming service One Cast offers. I have been able to easily play from my backyard, upstairs bedroom and YES even my bathroom (don’t judge).
    The only issue I have had is my Wireless Controller losing connection to the Xbox One however this is no fault of the app but the wireless range of the controller itself.
    I have played online Gears 5 and even CO-OP SplitScreen Borderlands 3 with a 4 player party and I have yet to discern any noticeable lag time.
    I am a fan of this app and the developer and I can’t wait to see it develop even further and add new features. :^)

  • Simply works

    I had an unusual situation. Needed Xbox to be working without tv at all, was moving to another house. I have set the app via WiFi when I was in first house, brought Ethernet cable, console and game pad with me to second house. So basically I had iPad, router and Xbox. Plugged in cable in router, waited a bit for Xbox to get a DHCP from lan and the simply launched Oncast on iPad and boom - a picture of main menu popped. So it seems app binds either to MAC address or Xbox profile ID. And i want to give a huge thanks to devs for this. You really shocked me. Keep it up. Totally worth it’s money. Must buy.

  • Sweet!

    Well I will say that this little app is neat AF! What I could do on my laptop for streaming I can now do on my phone, makes it easier for playing Xbox but without the huge laptop. I was skeptical at first but it’s worth the $12 if you’re really looking for something like this. Only thing I can think of is maybe setting up a VPN for even more remote connectivity when you’re far from home and on the go but still wanna pop into a game real fast just to check something.

  • Awesome App

    This App has been very useful for my household. Because of my Xbox setup. I have a full racing rig in my bedroom and sometimes I just want sit back on the couch and play something other than racing games and now it’s possible thanks to this app. setup is quick and the app is easy to use. I recommend using medium graphics settings on the iPad. And you will have very minimal lag or glitches. If you have decent WiFi speeds. The price of this App may seem expensive but the quality shows. And less we forgot we are talking about using our Apple devices to play our Xbox. So of course there will be an Apple tax lol.
