After giving them $19.99 the app cannot find my Samsung Smart TV. On the same WiFi network as my phone. The WiFi broadcaster is 10 feet away and the TV is 20 feet away. The WiFi internet on TV works perfect for Amazon, Netflix and others, but this app cannot find my TV. SCAM ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for me *2023-12-03* I don’t have a smart tv but my iPad and TV were on the same WiFi network. The app didn’t cast anything. I wonder if there is a way to get my $20 back. ### 1/5 — Bad *2023-12-02* Spent 20 dollars and the app didn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Cannot connect *2023-11-19* Not able to connect from an iPhone. Don’t wast your money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support Bluetooth *2023-11-14* Regardless of what you try it wants a wifi connection. Also do not get the premium there are no refunds. ### 1/5 — DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM *2023-10-25* Paid 15 dollars and it does NOTHING ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-08-07* Free to download but have to pay to use anything. Wish 0 stars was an option. ### 1/5 — 0 stars if i could *2023-05-26* hate that it wants me to pay 14.99/per month just to screen share on a tv. this is ridiculous ### 1/5 — Need to pay *2023-05-22* For some reason the app is free to download but not free to use. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with my Samsung tv *2023-05-03* Doesn’t work. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — $20 app, not at all free with in-app content. *2024-08-25* You cannot do a single thing in this app without paying the full app price, so author may have a great product but I am very irritated that it’s listed as something you can try and buy - that is simply not true. Pay the full $2 or nothing. List it correctly. ### 1/5 — Does not screen mirror peacock *2024-08-04* Don’t waste your money, this cast is garbage. It open in browser after multiple attempts. I have an iPhone and Samsung TV. Opens until I try and cast peacock tv, just stays blank on TV. ### 1/5 — Does not work. $20 wasted *2024-07-30* Terrible experience ### 1/5 — You have to pay to do ANYTHING *2024-07-06* There's literally only 3 features you can use without paying, that are COMPLETELY useless in my opinion, who would download a whole app just to do these things, and if ur curious, those three things include: - Live Streaming on YT, FB, Or twitch - Cloud casting your storage content - And troubleshooting.... which doesn't even count so basically TWO THINGS YOU CAN DO Wanna know what you have to pay 19.99 just to do?!?!? - Screen Mirroring - Screen Recording - Security Cameras - Mix Camera (merging videos together) - Video editing - File transfer - and mini game cast And literally anything else, I try to Click on anything in this app, and the "unlock more features" screen pops up. Ridiculous Don't waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Fake app *2024-06-17* Fake app ### 1/5 — Didn’t work….no refund….ripped off *2024-06-15* Didn’t work on Samsung KS9500 TV. No trial available. NO REFUND. You are just a victim if it doesn’t work. Buyer beware. ### 1/5 — Overwrought and Useless *2024-06-04* All I wanted to do was to add images to my Frame TV and was forced to pay for the full app — after which I discovered all sorts of issues with this basic task. Very annoying and feel like I’ve been ripped off. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work….. *2024-02-09* Now I have to try to get my $19.99 back…. What are the odds. Will never buy another electronic device from Samsung again. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-01-14* Absolute garbage. Will not issue refund. Don’t be fooled. ### 1/5 — Does not work. *2023-12-22* Useless does not work. Purchased 1 ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2023-04-01, version 1.1* Working for my samsung tv ### 4/5 — Looks well made but does little without purchase *2023-12-25* Wanted an app for my family to use on my Samsung TV. But I could not do screen casting (or anything else) without paying for it so minimal value for all my family to install ### 2/5 — Payment *2023-12-12* I have a samsung tv and you need to pay 20 bucks just to use the app!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
