### 1/5 — Didn't work with Xbox One

*2014-08-31, version 1.0.2*

The only reason we buy this app is because it's meant to stream to you Xbox... Well it doesn't and ny money's lost.
P.s. It half worked and even then it didn't show the films I have on my iPhone 5s

### 1/5 — Does not work. Don't buy

*2014-08-24, version 1.0.2*

This app does not work, plain and simple. You might occasionally get lucky but it doesn't find your device. If you go to their Facebook page you can see how many people have issues and the company won't respond to any of them. Do not waste your money.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work on iOS 14

*2020-10-13, version 2.0.4*

Crashes each second I go to open on iOS 14. Most likely needs an update from the developer

### 1/5 — I feel stupid for buying this app

*2020-03-15, version 2.0.4*

Why is nothing straight forward anymore??
Everything is either a scam or not what it seems, so tiring.

This does work, very easy for me to set up but the quality of the playback is absolutely awful £5 wasted.

I have a 4K tv and full hd films look  awful through this app but the same file plays perfectly on my iMac. 

Well looks like back having read everything single review on the Internet before I spend a penny of my money on anything else.

### 1/5 — Only works with photo library !

*2018-09-25, version 2.0.4*

I hope I am wrong and have missed something if not it’s a waste of money HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nach Kauf nicht mehr!

*2018-06-24, version 2.0.4*

Gratisversion war schneller und besser als die Samsung-eigene Smartview-App.
Ist aber auf ein Bild oder Video beschränkt.
Also gekauft. Findet den TV gar nicht mehr und bleibt einfach beim „searching for device“ hängen („spinning wheel“)
Falls das nicht schnell geändert wird, muss man das wohl Betrug nennen. Wie bekomme ich mein Geld zurück?

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2017-07-19, version 1.1*

So you are telling me after I bough the Mac app ($5.99) I have to pay another fee to use it on my iPhone?

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2017-05-24, version 1.1*

This app hasn't been updated since 2014 and doesn't work. 

I downloaded it after I used the $5 MAC App with the same name. Only to be completely disappointed.

### 1/5 — DEVUELVAME EL DINERO NO FUNCIONA PARA NADA ESTA APP

*2017-03-12, version 1.1*

NO FUNCIONA PARA NADA DEVUELVAME EL DINERO

### 1/5 — Verschenktes Geld

*2015-06-29, version 1.1*

Die auf 2 min begrenzte kostenlose Vers. Hat gut funktioniert. Nun habe ich die kostenpflichtige Vers gekauft und nix geht mehr. Alles probiert aber plötzlich wird mein TV nicht mehr gefunden. UE46C9090

### 1/5 — Na ja

*2014-10-11, version 1.1*

Im Internet wird nur positives über diese App geschrieben. Leider kann ich dies nicht behaupten. Mein UE22H5670 findet der nicht. 
Bitte um Hilfe!!!

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2014-09-06, version 1.0.2*

I can get a photo to show up on my xbox one but not any videos. Waste of money.

### 5/5 — Super

*2017-10-12, version 2.0*

App geladen und integriert. Funktioniert alles so wie es soll. Einfaches und gutes Design. Top!

### 5/5 — very good

*2015-07-10, version 1.1*

but the current version needs to be updated corressponding to ios 8.4. 

I couldn't use the app after the update of ios. 

please fix it quickly.

### 4/5 — Movies and more!

*2019-03-10, version 2.0.4*

I use this regularly to stream downloaded movies from my iMac to my Smart TV. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the TV but that is probably due to my WiFi connection not the app. Easy to use and saves me a lot of faffing!

### 4/5 — Best but could be better

*2019-02-06, version 2.0.4*

I disagree with having to pay for it on the MacBook and iPhone, just let me transfer it to my devices

### 4/5 — Good app

*2014-02-23*

I have to say it's a good app. Especially when I want to show a movie to my mates. Does everything it says they say it does. The only is that if I was able to shoot through music to my xbox one from my iphone, instead of turning on my mac book pro. If it was able to do that, it's would be 10/10

### 3/5 — Why do I have to buy it twice?

*2018-09-20, version 2.0.4*

Already bought this for my MacBook, I need to buy it separately for phone and tablet?

Other than that great app, been using it since roughly 2015 no major complaints.

### 2/5 — Нестабильная работа

*2019-03-13, version 2.0.4*

После обновления перестало искать тв

### 2/5 — Не показывает видео

*2017-10-28, version 2.0.2*

Смарт тв LG находит, фото показывает, а видео снятое на айфон пишет что тип файла не поддерживается. Снимал 1080p - грузится и сбрасывает. Исправьте пожалуйста!
