On the same WiFi, 10 feet from the Samsung TV. Not worth the hassle. ### 1/5 — I have to pay to use anything *2024-11-22* Charging to screen share when my iPhone has the option is crazy to me. 100% a money grab ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2024-10-26* Terrible app. Was of $20 ### 1/5 — Not a free app *2024-09-11, version 2.0* You have to pay to use any of the features. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 *2024-09-10* If i could give this zero stars i would it’s definitely a rip off believe the reviews people total bait and switch app ### 1/5 — awful *2024-08-31* this app is awful and is completely not user friendly. you can’t even use any of the features without paying for the premium version. not worth your time. ### 1/5 — Nice pitch, but it’s a bait and switch. *2024-08-26* Seems to be an ideal app, free, enables screen sharing across multiple brands….. Except on every button you push it takes you “Upgrade to Premium” for $19.99. Bait and switch. ### 1/5 — All share cast app *2024-08-14, version 2.0* This app does not work at all ### 1/5 — Got to pay $20 jus to use it *2024-08-02* Got to pay $20 just to use it ### 1/5 — No functionality without payment up front *2024-07-15* You are not given a chance to even try the app to see if it works with your devices. There is no functionality at all until you pay a “one time” fee of 20USD. Text elsewhere in the app suggests this is only a front end for AirPlay and Miracast, both of which you can use without paying 20 bucks to a sleazy third party. ### 1/5 — Fake app *2024-07-11* You can’t broadcast onto your tv without subscription. Don’t download. ### 1/5 — No internet *2024-07-06* U need internet connection to use this if I had internet I wouldn’t need this useless app thanks for ripping me off ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-07-03, version 2.0* Does not work Scam! ### 1/5 — ABSOLUTE CON - AVOID AVOID AVOID *2024-05-31, version 2.0* Complete garbage. Every single setting is set to take you to the ‘upgrade for £19.99’ - there is NOTHING you can do till you pay it. And then sadly the app is complete amateur junk and doesn’t even work. Wouldn’t find any Samsung televisions close by or any other either. Apple you should remove this scam app. Seriously AVOID ### 1/5 — App forces you to pay to do anything *2024-05-26, version 2.0* You are unable to use any feature without a pop up asking you to pay. Don’t waste time downloading this app ### 1/5 — SCAM DOESN’T WORK *2024-05-04, version 2.0* One off payment of $29.99 no trial and does not work. ### 1/5 — Malarkey *2024-03-11* Just buy the iPhone hdmi adapter…. Save yourself time and money, plus you’ll be able to use it on all tvs that has hdmi, which most of them do these days!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, want a refund *2024-02-23, version 2.0* Doesn’t find television despite every setting and configuration. I wouldn’t bother ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Automatically generated premium subscription charged me $20 *2025-02-19* I just wanted to download the app to try it first free and pop up automatically charged me $20 when trying to close the screen, would not back out I want my money back ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-02-10, version 2.4* Will not connect to my television. Paid for the subscription - very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2025-02-03, version 2.4* Purchased Premium and followed instructions. App sees the TV, connects briefly and then disconnects. Was not able to mirror or cast any content whatsoever. ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2025-01-27, version 2.4* Should’ve read the reviews. I didn’t and spent £20 just for it to not work. Complete waste of money ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-01-21, version 2.4* Made me pay $24.99 for lifetime updates.. doesn’t work.. waste of money ### 1/5 — Didn’t work *2025-01-07* I bought this app to share my screen on a tv and it didn’t work. So I basically wasted $20 for nothing ### 1/5 — Save your time! *2025-01-06* Hear me out this is by far the worst app you can use to mirror you apps on tvs, save your money ### 1/5 — Purchased doesn’t work *2024-12-28, version 2.4* Doesn’t work with Samsung tv or sky box ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2024-12-27, version 2.4* Cannot get this app to sync or broadcast to various family and friends tvs for love nor money. Spent £20 and total waste don’t buy it or ty and use it ### 1/5 — What the heck is this? *2024-12-22, version 2.4* Utter rubbish. Won’t allow you to do even the most basic casting/screen sharing without upgrading to the paid version. I have no idea how this got past Apple’s App Store approval process. ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — J *2024-06-23* Vera good ### 5/5 — Working! *2023-12-07* Useful application and works well on my Sony TV! ### 5/5 — LG TV *2023-12-06* Ok app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
