Your photos, videos and music, ready for a bigger screen. Keep a saved media library, arrange playback and control a paired TV from one place. A subscription is required to use app features. You can complete the introduction, close the offer and browse the app before subscribing. Purchase, restore, legal information and support remain accessible. SHARE YOUR COLLECTION Choose photos, videos, audio or supported files from your device. Capture a new photo or video, preview local media, save favorites and organize a playback queue with reorder, repeat and shuffle. Add supported media links and playlists without uploading your Library to our servers. CONTROL A PAIRED TV Discover compatible TVs, follow their on-screen pairing steps and return to saved devices. Available controls depend on the TV: navigation, volume, channels, playback, inputs, text and app shortcuts. Supported voice-enabled TV remotes can also receive push-to-talk voice while you hold the microphone control. Pairing information stays protected on your device. CHOOSE THE RIGHT RECEIVER Use Google Cast or DLNA on compatible receivers, or pair an available TV browser with the app's receiver. Browser playback includes photo slideshows, picture fit, rotation and selected SRT/VTT captions. On iPhone and iPad, AirPlay media playback uses the system route picker. Screen sharing to the paired browser requires system broadcast consent. GET SETUP HELP Search compatibility guidance, view the available TV guide and get AI-assisted troubleshooting for your connection problem. You choose the details and optional error image to share, with explicit consent before each request. AI suggestions may be incorrect; network access and usage limits apply. COMPATIBILITY MATTERS Keep your phone and receiver on a network that allows them to communicate. TV model, operating system, enabled services and media format determine what works. Casting, screen sharing and remote control are different capabilities. This app does not add unsupported TV functions, bypass protected video or guarantee a fixed delay. Screen sharing and audio availability depend on the platform and receiver. No TV hardware is included. SUBSCRIPTIONS The store shows the available plans, localized price, payment schedule and any eligible trial before purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your store account settings. Manage or cancel there; restore an existing eligible purchase in the app. An active subscription does not make an incompatible receiver compatible. This app is independent and is not affiliated with the TV or platform manufacturers mentioned.
