### 1/5 — Be warned

*2025-03-09, version 4.0.0*

I just bought this as I was trailing reflector, and it said I could do full screen using reflector director. But no, it mean full screen on the iPhone not the image being full screen where it was reflected to ie my laptop. Complete waste of money. Before you buy make it does what you want it to.

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-04-17, version 4.0.0*

Reflector 4 used to work a few years ago, and when it did work it didn't require any other applications to work. After trying the software again in 2024, it won't connect at all, even after trying to connect via Reflector Director. I hope the product comes back around, but for now don't waste your time or money until a major update is published/announced.

### 1/5 — The worst App

*2023-08-07*

The worst App. I just lost my money

### 5/5 — Simple but powerful

*2023-03-29, version 4.0.0*

I don’t understand the negative reviews. Perhaps people just don’t know what they’re buying. Because it works exactly as it should. If you’re presenting to an audience, and have multiple device screens that you’d like to display on your presentation screen (the screen your audience sees), then this app lets you select which screens to display, which screens to highlight, and which screens to hide. You can also view a preview of what’s on each screen BEFORE sending it to the main presentation screen. You can even send your iPad or iPhone screens up to the presentation screen. Now, the Director app doesn’t make the broadcasting part functional (you’ll need AirParrot, Reflector, AirPlay or something like that) to get your devices sent to the Presentation screen. This app only lets to choose which (of multiple) screens to display at any given time (and yes, you can display more than one at a time). 

Great app.

### 1/5 — SCAM WARNING

*2023-03-26, version 4.0.0*

I followed the steps on the website and they said to open this app. Much to my surprise it costs money, on top of the pricey computer application. After opening it, it does not show the same screen as shown on their website, nor does it connect at all as promised. This is a literal scam. Don’t buy it or the computer application, they don’t work. 0/10 I am filing a chargeback.

### 1/5 — Does nothing!!!!

*2022-12-21, version 4.0.0*

Please do not buy this product if you have the application running on your laptop you simply use the casting feature on your iPhone enter code and your casting make sure your on the same network do not use at work as sometimes business network might block these connections.

### 1/5 — Unnecessary App

*2022-12-06, version 4.0.0*

You do not need to download to use reflector software. Go to website help page for info on how to connect phone to computer!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-02, version 4.0.0*

Please refund me

### 1/5 — 연결이 안됩니다

*2021-02-17*

환불해주세요

### 1/5 — Veraltet…

*2021-02-15*

Was solll das? 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔🙄

Sicherlich soll die Abo-App des Entwicklers mehr Einnahmen generieren. 🤨
