ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screen Mirroring for iPhone holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring for iPhone has 1.5K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Smart Projector Control's written reviews are positive against 82% of Screen Mirroring for iPhone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smart Projector Control ships an update every 5 months, Screen Mirroring for iPhone monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
