Sorry to hear you appear to have had a negative experience. Can we ask why it's "horrible" please? We're always looking for ways to improve.Bad video quality, consume cellular data, unsafe
The video quality is terrible.
The transfer between my phone and vehicle will consume massive cellular data traffic.
All my screen data will be transferred to their server. They can see everything on your phone. So terrible!Jose Juan Santos

Hi, thanks for the feedback. To address your concerns, yes, the app uses your cellular connection as mentioned in the app store listing, but it is no more than using a streaming service or video conference call on your phone. The app also works using WiFi and premium connectivity so the data usage is only from the iPhone, it's not doubling up your data usage. In terms of safety, data is transmitted securely and utilises WebRTC, the same technology as Google Meet to make a peer to peer connection between the devices via a relay server. It is no less secure than having a video conference call intercepted. In terms of connection quality, the picture quality is transmitted as HD, check your network signal if you are having issues with quality and latency. Thanks for using Car Cast, I hope this addresses your concerns.Screen share only
This application purports itself be a way to have interaction with your iPhone using the Tesla browser screen. However, this is only a screen sharing app, which has no ability to be interactive. Once it’s put on there’s a significant lag, particularly as you swipe through mini screens, using the phone itself even applications, where it would be helpful in an electric car you cannot engage the iPhone without touching the iPhone itselfShow lessMarc42968

I'm sorry to hear that you've had a negative experience, we had hoped by using the words "cast" and "mirror" would show that this is a 1 way screen share, we will update the app store listing to make this clearer. The "lag" is the framerate reduction in drive mode, this is intentional so that drivers do not watch videos when driving. It is annoying but necessary sadly, it still offers a solid solution for using sat nav such as Waze and Google maps that don't need such a high refresh rate. Park mode does not have this restriction or latency and is ideal for watching tv, movies or live sport. Thanks again for the feedback, it's appreciated.Park mode great, drive mode ok
Works great in Park mode, able to stream live sports from the browser to my M3P. No Netflix or Prime. Drive mode works, frame rate is low as warned. Works well enough for Waze though. Notifications only work if you disable screen lock. Worth the £4 for unlimited usageBobBrown82
