When you try to mirror them, you will just see a black screen on your TV, for example with Netflix and Disney+. This is a restriction chosen by Netflix and others, so we cannot fix it at the moment.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Smart View at 4.3 against Screen Mirroring App's 3.9. Smart View also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Screen Mirroring App's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 44%) and ratings volume (29K vs 5.4K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Screen Mirroring App sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Smart View sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart View holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screen Mirroring App has 29K ratings behind it against 5.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Screen Mirroring App's written reviews are positive against 44% of Smart View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screen Mirroring App ships an update every 3 months, Smart View every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
