Overcharged

Supposed to cost $3.57 to remove writing below photos……I was charged $33.57 and now I have to contact my credit card to have the payment stopped…. Bloody waste of time

Response from developer

Hi, we are sorry to hear about payment issues. The in-app purchase indeed costs $3,99. If you were charged more, I can only guess that you purchased multiple items on App Store together, not only Katan. In that case App Store would combine purchases. Or it is some other charge. In any case, if it is indeed an App Store charge, I would recommend you to contact the Apple App Store support instead of the credit card provider. They should be able to explain, and issue a refund if required.

Works well but....

The app connects to the photos flawlessly. I purchased the pro version to eliminate the banner but when playing a slideshow, it shows the command bar at the bottom every time a picture change. This is quite annoying as I was hoping it would play the photos without anything else.
Maybe an option to show or not show could be offered.
Anyway thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your review! Katan should not add any watermarks to the images it sends to your TV after the purchase. However, some TVs may overlay additional information, toolbars, etc. when showing images over DLNA. Probably it is the case here. If so, unfortunately this is outside of our control, decided by the TV when it plays images over DLNA. Perhaps it can be disabled in the TV settings.

Awesome App

This App is AMAZING.

Works better than the others I tried

Able to see my photos on my Samsung tv from both my iPad and iPhone X. However I created an album in my photos of the photos I wished to project, and the app cannot see the album I created, or any of the other albums I’ve created. It sees only the automatic albums, like bursts, panoramas, etc. Am I doing something wrong? I don’t want to wade through thousands of images when I have just a few I want show.

4th time was the charm

On a whim I decided to figure out how to view photos on our new Samsung QLED TV. I found a couple of articles online and of course the first recommendation had been discontinued. I saw others in the App Store and tried out three of them. They were difficult for me to move through and the instructions were not specific enough for a non-techie like myself. Install/Delete. Then I tried Katan. Such a relief. In a matter of minutes I was connected and looking at lovely photographs from both my iPad and iPhone. Even our dorky Goldendoodle loved looking at big photos of himself. And yes I will pay the $2 to lose the bottom banner. This App is a bargain.

One (dumb) question. How exactly do I Exit the app? Hit “disconnect”? When I do that it seems I have trouble reconnecting.

Response from developer

Hi, Thank you for the warm feedback! To stop showing photos on your TV, please open the "Connect to TV" screen using the top left menu button, and "Disconnect" there. You should be able to connect again after that. To actually close the app, please follow the regular iOS way: double-press the Home button (if you have iPhone 8 or earlier) to show all the open apps, and swipe up the app to close it. From iPhone X, put your finger toward the bottom of the display and swipe up to show all the open apps, and swipe up the app to close it

Iphone в пекло

Единственное ПО которое работает и выполняет обещанные функции среди всего хлама в аппсторе!!! Я уже 200500 раз пожалел что купил этот огрызок. Такая простая вещь как просмотр медиа и фото на телевизоре, которая в винде по умолчанию ВЕЗДЕ - тут через пляски с кошельком, заплати 1000 рублей в месяц и мы дадим тебе сырое не рабочее гуано. Да пошли вы через задний проход!
Данная же программы на удивление отличается от наполняющих ГовноСторе наглых вымогателей

Very Good App! One clarification

Thank you guys, good job!
I have one issue during playing slideshow, it it moving in reverse mode for the date of pictures, is there a way we can selected the sequence?

🤮

Полная шляпа

Finally! An app that works easily

Finally an app that works easily without charging an arm and a leg.

Functions missing

Hi,

is it possible to add the slideshow effects ( realtime on the TV ) of your other application slideflow ( batch thru a video file ) ? It exits on Windows with the Microsoft Gallery of the live suite for example. (Size constraint, >3000 local photos)

Best regards

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the interest! Real-time animations/effects on the TV would require special software on the TV, developed separately for every TV. This is not something we are planning to do. SlideFlow generates a slideshow video and plays it on TVs (it is not real-time). This functionality does not really fit to what Katan is designed for, would make it much more complex etc. Katan is designed as a photography workflow software: compare and adjust photos. That is why we made SlideFlow a separate app. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact us at support@veprit.com. We welcome any feedback!

Screen Size

Easy to install! But the mirrored pic on Samsung Smart TV is smaller than may laptops... ?? So what’s the point? Maybe developer will tell me how to enlarge or update. Tease that the app is free - Katan watermark banner on bottom of every pic unless you pay $3.99

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for your review. By default Katan generates 1080p images and sends them to TV. Some 4K TVs don’t show 1080p images full screen. Probably also your case. I think there are 2 options: 1. Configure your TV to show smaller images full screen; 2. In Katan preferences, select the image size of 4K instead of 1080p. This, however, may be difficult for older iPhones/iPads, especially if you are using adjustments... The app is free to make sure it works with your TV (every TV is different!) before you pay.

Weird confusing

That was the only app on market I found to easy mirror my gallery on TV. I paid 4 bucks to remove watermark, however after 10 minutes of usage a banner appears... W₽T&F!!!!!

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for the review, and sorry for the inconvenience. If you go to the Preferences (tap the button on the top bar), does it say that "Katan Pro" is "Purchased"? Could you double-press the iPhone/iPad Home button and slide Katan up to close it completely, then run it again. Is the watermark still there? Please contact us at support@veprit.com if this doesn't help.

Won't cast for slideshow

No seamless movement from one photo to another. It will only cast one photo then goes back to live tv before going to next photo. Also will not cast in order you have in your album. Do not recommend.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for your review. The photos are currently ordered (and presented) by date, we will investigate if possible to change it. Switching back to live TV after showing a photo is definitely not what is supposed to happen. We have tested it on over 10 TVs of different brands and models, and never observed such behaviour. Could you please let us know what device you are using (support@veprit.com)?
