# Screen Mirroring vs Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV

Screen Mirroring and Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 55% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 32% of Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV's. Screen Mirroring also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 712) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring has 19K ratings behind it against 712, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Screen Mirroring's written reviews are positive against 32% of Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Screen Mirroring ships an update every 2 months, Screen Mirroring・View Smart TV fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
