ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stud Finder゜ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring for Roku has 69K ratings behind it against 5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Screen Mirroring for Roku's written reviews are positive against 35% of Stud Finder゜'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screen Mirroring for Roku ships an update every 2 months, Stud Finder゜ every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
