### 2/5 — Fotos durcheinander

*2025-04-26*

Leider sind alle Fotos komplett durcheinander gemischt. Keine Ahnung warum. Macht so kein Spaß

### 3/5 — Urgent refund request

*2024-05-08*

It's been automatically paid. I'd like a refund

### 3/5 — Won’t serve to a Roku

*2023-12-28*

I was under the understanding that this was a dlna server, but if it is, it isn’t working for connecting the Roku media player as the client.  I also tried the screen mirroring option on the Roku client which also didn’t work.

UPDATE: The developer quickly clarified that this is only a client, not a server (thank you). Please also make this clear on the app description page since a search in the app store for “DLNA server” shows it as the second result, which lead to my spending time installing it and a lot of time trying to make it work.  I have no interest in a DLNA client on the cell phone (and currently still don’t have a server) so I’m not sure how to re-rate this based on that, but for now will increase from 1 star to 3.

**Developer response:** Hello. Sorry for the confusion. This is client, player, not a server.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2022-01-24*

It’s not as easy as the video posted. I deleted it because I couldn’t get it to work after 20mins

### 1/5 — Mit Lite Version verlocken

*2021-12-05*

Um überhaupt was anständiges zu machen muss man pro version kaufen.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2021-06-27, version 1.6.9*

I got this and paid for the yearly sub, my tv does not support apple AirPlay and thought it would be a good alternative to be able to stream content from my phone and the likes of YouTube on my toshiba tv. The truth is very YouTube I have tried to stream says it is not compatible with this app. And I can’t seem to access videos stored on my phone, only in iCloud which it then still doesn’t play. Waste of money and a con. Will be seeking a refund.

### 1/5 — Not streaming

*2021-06-23*

After IOS update in last month Nero streaming app not working. we connected same WI FI, but Smart tv information not showing in app. This app works good before update. Please solve this problem Venugopal

### 4/5 — Fotos auf neuem Panasonic-TV super!

*2021-03-16*

Für uns die beste App zum Betrachten der iPhone-Fotos auf dem TV. Die Möglichkeit, Bildausschnitte vergrößert anzuzeigen, gefällt uns sehr...

### 1/5 — 見れなくなった

*2020-12-19*

今まで見れたのにだめになった。最悪

### 1/5 — La version lite inutile pour les vidéos

*2020-08-24*

Évidemment si on souhaite streamer une vidéo il faut payer la version pro. Je supprime et laisse une étoile 😉

### 1/5 — Schlechte Qualität und teuer😡

*2020-07-19*

Erst wird mit einer kostenlosen App geworben, dann kommt es wie immer 1,99 € pro Monat bezahlen. In der werbebasierten Version sehr schlechte Qualität. Finger weg.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work .

*2020-06-29, version 1.5.1*

Followed instructions , nothing.

### 1/5 — Abzocke

*2020-06-16*

Ich habe von der Lire auf die Pro Version gemacht bei der Lire findet er sofort meinen TV und bei der Pro findet er nichts im System meines W-Lan‘s sehr Bedauerlich und Endtäuschend😔

### 1/5 — Вымогательство денег

*2020-06-07*

Эта софтина не работает, вас попросят купить и установить версию PRO. Но и купив версию PRO вы обнаружите, что в ней можно смотреть только фотки. Для просмотров фильмов вас попросят подключить ежемесячную подписку VIP. Ее я уже не стал подключать, не знаю, начнёт ли оно работать нормально после этого?

### 1/5 — 意味なし

*2020-05-30*

iphoneからミラーイングできるのは自分のデバイスにある写真や動画、もしくはファイルに入っているものだけ。
youtubeなどは最初から対象外。インターネット動画をミラーイングしたいなら全く意味のないアプリ。

### 3/5 — В Целов повторение AirPlay

*2020-03-09*

Приложение работает, в принципе нареканий нет. Не знаю на сколько реализуема функция наушников, но она тут просто необходима! Что бы при стриминге с телефона на Тв можно было в телефон воткнуть наушники и звук переключался на них!!! Своего рода гарнитура для телевизора, что бы не покупать беспроводных наушников.

### 1/5 — Scam arnaque

*2026-05-18*

Une application qui fonctionne avec des abonnements, je déteste et je n’encouragerai jamais

### 1/5 — Deceptive. Says FREE.  It ain’t.

*2025-08-02, version 1.11.6*

Can’t even get past the subscription page.   Made me mad that I wasted my time.

### 1/5 — Not working with YouTube

*2025-07-22*

Cheating, this app does not support YouTube.

### 1/5 — Pas de possibilité de streamer une video dans le dossier "Telechargements"

*2024-09-17*

Merci de permettre le stream de contenu local via les boutons "Diffuser", "Ouvrir avec", "Partager" de l'application "Fichiers" sur iOS

### 1/5 — VIP funktioniert nicht

*2024-04-29*

Habe lifetime VIP für 39,90 bezahlt. Trotzdem muss ich nach jedem Programmstart runter scrollen und den Kauf „wieder herstellen“ und vorher 2 Werbung weg klicken. Die ursprüngliche Funktion dann funktioniert einwandfrei und ist schlicht und einfach und schnell auf dem UPnP Player am laufen. Ticket ist erstellt seit 4 Tagen keine Rückmeldung. Werde wohl stornieren. 
Wenn ich kaufe, will ich nicht ständig weg klicken müssen. 🤢🤮

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. Our TS tried to contact you via email many times but failed. Maybe there is some typo in your email address? Anyway, the next version update will include the fix for your issue. Please update the version in time.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-03-01*

Downloaded the app and within minutes was streaming to my TV .... didn’t need to stream through my fire stick just streamed straight to my LG smart TV....

### 5/5 — 簡単操作

*2020-08-06*

操作がとても分かりやすい。
ただ、まだ試していないが、ファイルからの読み込みは有料ソフトにグレードアップする必要がありそう。

### 5/5 — Ich finde die App ganz solide, Sie erfüllt sein Zweck

*2020-06-18*

Gute App

### 5/5 — It just works

*2020-05-03*

Unlike so many of the other DLNA client options in the App Store, this one just works with no extra setup or fiddling at all.  That might not seem like much, but it’s actually not so common. Well done!

### 5/5 — Funktioniert auf Anhieb

*2020-01-21*

Habe mein Iphone XR sofort mit meinem Samsung-TV verbunden. Easy, wenn man schnell ohne Apple-TV arbeiten will. Kann Videos und Fotos auf den Fernseher streamen. Vorher das Wlan testen, beide Geräte müssen im gleichen Wlan sein. Schade, dass man die App monatlich bezahlen muss, das schreckt mich ab.

### 5/5 — Super!!

*2019-07-23*

Es klappt alles und man kann ohne Probleme Fotos und Videos auf den Fernseher streamen👍🏻

### 5/5 — !

*2019-07-14*

Качественное приложение, но хотелось бы иметь возможность при выборе файлов для воспроизведения делать это кнопкой «выбрать все»!

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Мы добавим его в ближайшее время.

### 5/5 — Vidéo iPhone sur tv Samsung

*2019-06-08*

Impeccable!! Après plein de recherches pour regarder une vidéo iPhone sur tv Samsung!! Ça mérite d’ être dit quand ça marche nickel trop content!!

### 5/5 — Отличное приложение.

*2019-05-27*

Классное приложение, с момента покупки телефона искал такое.

### 5/5 — Super Sache

*2019-05-04*

Alles was man will. Kein großes Einrichten. Funktioniert sofort.

**Developer response:** Es ist uns eine Freude, diese Anwendung zu mögen. Danke.
