Works great, probably the best app I’ve had, locks in and pairs instantly, doesn’t disconnect or have issues!

Works great on iPhone SE 2022, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro Max, and iPad Air 2020!

Cheers

*2025-09-19*

the app works flawlessly with all of my tvs but I cannot access the lifetime license as shown on the App Store page and only seem to have access to recurring subscriptions. 2 stars is because this feels predatory.
