Thank you for the review. ArkMC doesn't support Chromecast and it was said in the description. Please, check it one more time. ### 2/5 — Works, like 25% of the time. *2015-04-07* I had high hopes for this app but it's so unreliable that's it's really more annoying than anything. It works, then doesn't, then works, then doesn't. I have a very strong wireless internet connection on Verizon FIOS with 50 up and 50 down using apples new AirPort Extreme on the AC network with samsungs brand new 75 inch TV and I can't stream from my iPhone 5S without having problems. Sometimes the TV won't even show up in the app and when it does it quits after 5 minutes. Mind you, my TV, the wireless router and my phone are all within 8 feet of each other with direct line of sight. So it's not me. And the app, TV, and iphone iOS are all up to date so there's really no reason for this to be happening. I don't know what to tell everyone, I'd look for an alternative app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage app, I feel scammed *2022-02-28* App does not work as expected, I cannot stream to my oculus quest. ### 1/5 — Very first try *2019-04-21* Installed and right out the gate: operation failed. That was the message: operation failed. No troubleshooting assistance, no help menu, nothing. $6 in the slot machine and lost. Didn’t even get the thrill of pulling the handle. So just be prepared, it’s a gamble. ### 1/5 — Really bad *2019-04-06* I have two days trying this app , watching tutorials, and I cannot see the first video, terrible. ### 1/5 — App not working on ios 11 *2017-11-27* I have this app and it was working perfect on ios10 on my lg tv but now with iOS 11 it is not working. **Developer response:** Hi, Ali Hekmat! Thank you for the feedback. Have you tried to restart/replug the connected devices or reboot the wi-fi router? the problem can be in it. Also, you can try to reinstall an application. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2017-11-17* Shows my TV but will not stream anything, I have a brand new Iphone 8 and excellent Wifi ! What a waste of money. Don’t recommend **Developer response:** Hi, ajdnejrjwkdvmmeks! If I am not mistaken we have got in touch via the Support e-mail and solved this issue. let us know, please if an issue is still present. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2017-07-26* No longer works with Chromecast. Email support is worthless. **Developer response:** Hi, LMendus! ArkMC doesn't support Chromecast and it is not mentioned in the description. It wasn't able to work before, as it's not supported. Please, check the description of the application. ### 1/5 — Doesn't even work *2017-07-20* All the instructions online tell you that it can connect to the tv but it actually doesn't even give me an option for that🙄 This was a waste of my money! **Developer response:** Hi, Ddog2022! Can you, please give us more details and we will be able to test and check this issue. What is your TV model? Thanks! ### 1/5 — Does not play movies *2017-03-29* I unfortunately did not realize that you couldnt stream videos bought from the iTunes store. Im extremely disappointed. I wish I could get my money back. More some disappointed that I did not realize this before purchasing. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. We mentioned it in app description "NOTE! Due to DRM restrictions, movies bought from iTunes service, cannot be streamed to the other devices by this application. " ### 2/5 — Desperately needs an update *2017-12-01* Not sure what has changed I updated to IOS 11, and now it no longer sees my network. Please tell me a update is on the way. This was my favorite network video and audio player! **Developer response:** Hi, Sirelf1973! Thank you for the feedback. Have you tried to restart/replug the connected devices or reboot the wi-fi router? the problem can be in it. Also, you can try to reinstall an application. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Confusing *2017-09-21* To convoluted using its interface ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun *2019-12-24* We have so much fun in home with children. It's fast and simple, take movie and play in home TV. ### 5/5 — Magical Streaming to Any Device *2013-11-14* This app is practically magical in its capabilities - I was thoroughly impressed by the level of sophistication and features the developer packed into one app! I’ve been looking for an app to stream my content across various devices and this app stood up to the task very well. I was able to stream videos, pictures, etc with the simple tap of a button reminiscent of some future-themed movies. Great app all around and highly recommend this to anyone trying to figure out how to stream content across multiple devices! ### 5/5 — Well worth the $$ *2013-10-18* I recently purchased a Samsung smart tv. Despite what it says it does not integrate easily with all your devices if those devices start with an "i". I have downloaded multiple apps to try to get my music to play on the tv. None worked well. Then I heard about this app on the apple forum. It does exactly exactly what I want. I am no computer geek so I will admit to watching a You Tube video to figure out how it works. It is so simple! The smart tv recognizes the IPhone or Ipad as a server now so I can stream from either device. The only downside is if you leave the app from your Iphone or Ipad to do something else the tv drops the connection. I definitely recommend the app. ### 5/5 — So Useful *2013-05-04* So I'm kind of awful with any and all electronics. I love my iPhone but it's so easy to use I don't really consider it an electronic. My car radio still has the wrong time on it. That's why when I saw this, I figured I was wasting 4.99. Thing is, it's so easy to use. I had it set up and working within five minutes. My husband was amazed - suddenly those episodes of television shows I just had on my phone were on the television. He's a bit more high tech than I am, so when he went off on a business trip last week, it was easy for him to set it up so that he could see everything when he was on the go. He has enough on his phone and didn't feel like adding more, so he could use the wifi of the plane to watch hours of shows instead of just sleeping. Then once he was at the hotel he could show it to me easier than ever before. The interface is beautiful, it's easy to use, and I'm really glad I bought it. Like someone else said, it's just like Apple TV, for pennies on the dollar. ### 4/5 — Excellent media client *2019-03-30* This is the best general-purpose media viewing client I've found on the app store. It connects to almost anything and has a decent UI for viewing and playing from the device. Also can stream remotely. It also remembers your place when browsing a server if you leave the app and come back – well at least half the time, but that's miles better than most other clients. It would be golden if it remembered the place even better, provided a browse history function, and added A-Z thumbnail index when browsing large lists. Oh, and also eager-load those lists in the background instead of pausing to query server every time you scroll. ### 3/5 — Quirky Playback *2022-07-24* At times the control act quirky, no video only audio After iOS 10.X update the problems started. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2017-06-05* Works well ### 3/5 — Not great on PS3 *2014-05-28* This works okay on PS3 but it requires a bit of finagling to work. Going right to the videos gives an error saying it can't access that folder and they "may have been deleted from the server" and it shows a list of "unsupported data". So what you have to do is find the video on your iPad from the list in the app and choose "download to documents". They'll usually show up in documents after that but you almost always have to hit "download to documents" twice before it'll work. The app also doesn't seem to differentiate between files stored on the cloud that iTunes keeps around in case you want to redownload them (the ones hidden unless the iTunes setting on the iPad is set to "show all") and those actually on your iPad. As a result you have to scroll through trying to find the video you want. Some kind of sort feature would help the last issue but I'm unsure how you'd fix the first two. Hopefully there will eventually be a fix. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
