## What is AirServer Connect?

Connecting is simple:

AirServer Connect will read the QR code and will automatically add your computer name to the AirPlay list in your iOS device.
To mirror your display to your computer running AirServer, simply tap on this new entry and enable mirroring.

### 4/5 — Necessary and stable

*2025-11-03, version 2.7*

Looks like this app is old… Well my AirServer app in Windows simply stopped registering as a mirror source in my iPad (iOS 26).  This app works great… initial drawback is that every time your iPad goes to sleep, you have to re-barcode each time.  I got around that by ditching auto sleep.  But that knocks off a star although you get used to it pretty quickly.  I hate being married to the front of the classroom so this is a no-brainer.

### 1/5 — Only audio working. No video

*2025-08-07, version 2.7*

Seems like this app is outdated and broken since 2020.

### 5/5 — 很方便

*2025-05-15, version 2.7*

很好用，方便！

### 5/5 — Perfect for iPad lectures. This has changed how I teach!

*2024-02-08, version 2.7*

I’ve tried all kinds of setups for projecting my iPad in the classroom. The classroom computers are locked down with lots of restrictions on how I can use technology. It would take me too long to explain the contortions and adapters I’ve been using to teach the way i want to. Now that I have AirServer and this app, I can mirror my iPad screen onto a Windows computer effortlessly. Even though my classroom computer and iPad are in different subnets, this QR code reader gets me connected without being wired to Ethernet anymore. When I use AirPlay my presentation app hides all the controls so the students see just what I want them to see. Mirroring solutions other than AirPlay broadcast the controls and my hidden notes. This app is a game-changer for me! This is what this was made for and it does it perfectly!

### 1/5 — Goes black when watching movies

*2024-01-18, version 2.7*

Needed something to airplay over public WiFi but when I try to watch a purchased film it just goes block and stops working. Terrible app

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage.

*2024-01-14, version 2.7*

Inserts trash. Lots of trash.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-11-25, version 2.7*

Doesn’t work for stupid people. Maybe if you’re a software engineer you can reprogram it to work. 
Waste of time. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2023-07-23, version 2.7*

have to scan the QR every single time. big time drain

### 5/5 — Does what it’s supposed to do!

*2023-03-18, version 2.7*

I…honestly don’t understand the negative reviews here 🤷🏻‍♀️.

You download the Mac app, then you download this app. Make sure that both of your devices are on the same network, then open up the QR code on the Mac app. Scan that QR code on your iPhone/iOS device, using this app.

Go to Screen Mirroring on your iPhone/iOS device. Choose your Mac. It’s ridiculously easy, and this app works EXACTLY as it’s supposed to.

I’m thinking that all of these negative reviews are from people who just don’t know how to operate their devices…

### 5/5 — Does what it says it does

*2022-08-22, version 2.7*

Period.
