time waiste

just load of ads watching to not be able to cast anything

Worthless app!

Can’t find a way to cast programming from my phone to my Sony Smart TV as desired. No useful tutorials on point. Tried to get a refund within minutes of my purchase but was told no refund was available. A total waste of $6.99.

mauvais

Mauvaise qualité et payer pour le mode mirroir avec une latence, mauvais

Zero stars

What a piece of trash. I downloaded this to cast at an Airbnb, so you can bet I’m not paying for premium. At the free tier you can’t cast from apps and the built-in player pushes ads every couple of minutes, nags constantly. I can’t believe Sony would get behind this.

good

works as intended, and the stream i pretty good, but if u watch an ad and the loading fails, u then have to watch ANOTHER and hope it works the 2nd try. imo its bad practice to punish us with another ad if your service fails

More than scammy

I rarely ever write bad reviews. Most of my reviews are bc I like the product or at least the idea, even if a product is not refined, yet. However, I do not like to be scammed. I do not like dishonesty. The sole purpose of this app is that you as the gullible customer press the “Buy” button. This app has not trial or freemium option. Once you open it for the first time you immediately get presented with an offer that you fell you cannot miss out: all the options for a third of the price of about $20. In this moment, you do not even know what these options are. I clicked buy, $7 bucks, bc who does not want to safe 60%. Once you look at the in-app options, they are all nano-features that normally would be required to make the app work for its intended purpose of mirroring your screen. This is not the question of a Basic vs Pro version. You need ALL of these in-app purchases to make the app useful. Ok fine, I got tricked into a purchase without actually trying it out.

But then at least the app works, right? Wrong! Even after buying the bundle you are welcomed with a cluttered user interface that looks like a middle schooler on a summer camp threw it together that is nothing but intuitive - just to be redirected to more apps to purchase just to make it work.

The whole point of this app is to mirror something from your device to a TV, in this case a Sony. A very simple product definition. There is no need for micro in-app purchases - either you can mirror your screen, or you cannot. Period! No user wants a products that only sometimes works under undefined conditions.

And even in this one simple function the app fails. This app exists in a gazillion confusing (on purpose I allege) versions, this particular one is advertised for Sony, but it does not even function here. Perhaps Sony uses more than one format (in my case Miracast), perhaps the app does not work at all. In any case, it nowhere tells you in the app description that it only works for SOME Sony TV and under WHICH conditions. Again, it misleads the user into buying in the assumption that the app works on ALL Sony TV. Wouldn’t you assume the same if you bought something specially advertised for “Sony”?

I am a technologist, my background is productizing technology ideas and deliver solutions. I live and breath software (and hardware). I am not just a disgruntled customer who cannot figure out how a complex app works, but I seriously feel scammed. This is messed up, and even worse - you cannot get a refund.

5star review

Definitely works…5stars & then some.

Not working at all

Poor instruction. Won’t find my photos

Scam

I was able to connect it but the video doesn’t even work! It gets you to watch ads for it not to work!

Conned

Only this price then another and another….rip off

Disgusting ransoming

Why are you trying to collect fees each time I try to cast from my iPad? This is my equipment and my cable service. Who let you hold my service for ransom?

Connection Error

My casting was having connection errors, so I decided to pay for the premium version. Still has connection errors when trying to cast. Don’t waste your time or money on this. Get a new tv if this app is required to cast on your tv.

Horrible

Don’t get this app it’s trash.

App is dumb

Always casting ads but never the actual video, very infuriating

Very difficult to setup

Ugly to operate

Awful - can’t get this to work, even paid to upgrade

Does not work! Way too Complicated even after upgrading the version. Wasted $$.

Joke

Pay for everything and watch Nikon adds n I mean it
Pay for play button pay for forwarding pay for skipping an adds pay for pause pay for bookmarks pay for favourite list basically pay for everything!!!!
Joke!!!!!!

Horrible money grab attempt

Just after start, the app showed me some kind of a purchase menu, and immediately complained about external ad blocker I’m using. Really? No TV connection, not a chance to see if your app really worth something? Well, one star is all you get this way.

Scam

Scam big old scam
