[Notes] • For supported projectors, visit https://support.epson.net/projector_appinfo/iprojection/en/. You can also check "Supported Projectors" in the app's support menu. • While mirroring your device’s screen, video and audio may be delayed depending on the device and network specifications. Only unprotected content can be projected. • Use the mirroring feature to project videos in the "Photos" app. [About Projecting Documents] • The following file types are supported when projecting using "Documents". - Microsoft® Word - Microsoft® Excel - Microsoft® PowerPoint - Keynote - PDF - JPG - PNG - The file types mentioned above are also supported when stored in cloud file services • Depending on the document, the projected image may differ from the image on the computer or at the time of creation, for example, some characters may not be projected correctly. If this occurs, use the mirroring feature ("Mirror device screen") instead. • Animations and screen transition effects, videos, and audio are not played. Use the mirroring feature to play them. • We recommend testing the projection in advance when using this app for presentations. [Using the App] Make sure that the network settings for the projector have been completed. 1. Switch the input source on the projector to "LAN". Network information is displayed. 2.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: UniFi at every 2 weeks against Epson iProjection's every 6 months. UniFi also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (48% vs 20%). Epson iProjection's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
