Mirror for Chromecast app Reviews

by Disabled PRO

I tried communication about my not having a working app, after paying for the PRO upgrade, with this developer through Messenger. I never use Facebook, or any of its services, for good reasons. So I felt forced onto a platform I abhor. I never wanted Facebook to have ANY of my information. Now they do! It would seem they could offer an alternative way to effect customer service needs. I would sure appreciate that. Now I’m using this review because I see responses from them to other reviews.

Unfortunately, shortly after paying for the lifetime upgrade, my phone stopped working. I have an appointment with Apple in 5 days. Since I couldn’t go without a phone until then, I bought a new one, set it up and downloaded apps. All of them work except this one.

I needed the screen mirroring yesterday. I tried many workarounds, but I did not have the paid performance that I had paid for, for life, already.

Out of need and frustration, and a lack of a customer service solution, I paid again for PRO upgrade.

Now I sure would like one refund and one PRO performing app.

I hope they respond to this review immediately. I have spent too much time on this issue already.

When this is working it is a great application however frequently it disconnects although the Wi-Fi is very strong and there are no other issues. If that can be fixed I would definitely give it a five star rating.

i downloaded Mirror to cast movies purchased on the apple tv app using chromecast to my tv. the screen mirroring works right up until i start playing a movie and then the screen never loads. it freezes on the initial black screen but plays the audio which is very delayed. i will be deleting Mirror . THIS DOESN'T WORK WITH THE APPLE TV APP ON YOUR IPHONE!

So while I do love my apple product being able to stream to my Chromecast, it doesn’t connect first try every time. I bought the subscription hoping to use this service daily and was very disappointed when I could not use it all the time. If that issue could be addressed it would be perfect.

As far as I can tell, the switch from “paid” to “free” erased my previous purchase of Mirror , and suddenly my screen was constantly over-written with ads. I was a bit stuck by the timing so paid for the pro version, which then proceeded to lose connection every 3-5 minutes for the duration of my use - had to go back to Mirror , restart the screen share, then navigate back into what I was trying to show. Emphatically not worth the price.

It sometimes connects, then when it does it’ll disconnect an hour or so later. I’ve tested it on several different Chromecast devices. Something is up and certainly not worth the subscription

by Slanderson

It is not worth the money to me it is too laggy In the video and and the audio doesn’t always match up. Do the one time payment of $2 for a month if you want to try it out, but I would find another solution to your problem

I wish Mirror had the ability to cast to Chromecast.

by Whatislife145

Mirror works well— I’d say buying the pro is worth it. The only issue is how incredibly laggy it is while watching on the TV screen compared to my phone. I’m trying not to complain much, though, because it’s AWESOME that Apple products finally have a way to cast their screens to another device without having to buy an Apple TV. If you guys could somehow make it less laggy/glitchy, it’d be PERFECT.

by DJRemark

The signal is dropped for no apparent reason. Also the sound quality is often very poor, especially with music.
Cannot cast sound on Zoom.

by Youngdds

I don’t understand why sometimes I have the option to chromecast to my tv and so often there is no option to view except on my iPhone. Anyway, this works reliably.

by Jatvoice

Mirror works well. It allows me to read content without straining my eyes or neck, because I can this app it on my TV screen.

It was worth it to me to upgrade to Pro, but the watermark still won’t go away, which is pretty frustrating.

If you guys want to get paying customers, you had better find a way to make the watermark disappear when you upgrade.

I will be happy to change my rating once this is resolved. Thanks.

I have an older flatscreen that is not a smart TV in my workout room. Casting from Google Chrome would not work from my iPad and sporadically would work from my phone. I thought I would try this as a last ditch effort. It works great! There is a lag but I just turn my volume down on my iPad and turn my iPad away from me so I don’t get distracted.

by LauraByron

The customer service for Mirror is very helpful and responsive! Mirror works great for casting your iPhone to your tv! Thank you :)

So in the previous reviews there’s a few complaints about lags. I don’t see the issue, I’m not trying to watch on both devices so if there’s a lag it doesn’t really have any effect on your watching. There’s no banners on pro, that could be a new upgrade I don’t know. You do need to pay, it doesn’t make sense otherwise because then you get stuck with a banner. But I say it’s well worth it. I’ve been able to watch several shows I would have not been able to otherwise.

I have been looking for a solution to screen mirroring to a Chromecast. Mirror does it excellently. There’s a small lag, but it’s acceptable at less than half a second. Video streams clearly with no skipping. Definitely worth the purchase price. 5 stars!

by Mrsfarmer0726

Installed but couldn’t get the sound to work. Msg’d them and they responded quickly and helped with the issue! App is working great!

by Munchkin 493

Got the Pro! This is a great app. Have no complaints whatsoever. Picture and sound are perfect. I cast from my Apple IPad to my Sony TV and the picture and sound are very sharp. Best app out there!

by Justice IPhone

I went through a lot of apps but they either had a lot of lagging or was a lot of ads this is the first true great TV this app iPhone app I’ve came across

by Almolina04

The application is excellent. Is working properly and efficiently. The Support Team is one of the best. They help immediately if you have any problems. Thanks so much. I am very glad with the application!

by Youtubeishorrible

All Mirror does is record your screen, upload it to their servers, and then broadcast it to your chromecast like an online video. This is horrible, its extremely delayed and does not work smoothly. You cannot this app the iphone screen to chromecast without jailbreaking.

by Lizzy Grante

I wanted to use Mirror to cast a show on my phone to my tv since I had a chrome see not an Apple TV and the experience was a choppy laggy low quality video that constantly froze 0/5 stars

by Yjerkle

I guess the developers decided after the fact that the didn’t get enough of my money, so the slapped a huge watermark on the screen and want me to pay a monthly fee to use an app I already bought. I’m honestly surprised Apple even allows this kind of behavior.

by Meg56789012&&&

It does the job, I guess. It will cast to your tv but the lag time is very irritating and unless you buy the premium you have an annoying watermark on the screen.

by PHotonoton

I think Mirror has a lot of potential. However, at this time latency is really high and the constant nag around premium version does not allow for a decent test drive.

by Humzor

It casts the phone screen perfectly well but the audio only comes out of the phone, not the TV. I saw another review that had the same problem and I still decided to get Mirror . Waste of $5.

UPDATE: so apparently, if you want to stream audio from a browser on your phone it can only be Puffin Web Browser. And audio from other apps works fine but you have to make sure the volume for the CHROMECAST is at max and you’re going to have turn your TV volume up as well for sure. Changed from 2 to 3 stars. Will stay at 3 if audio issues didn’t exist.

by SBM1235

Yes it mirrors! Sound and video both. Haven’t explored much but it works as I expected.

by Matman72703

Does a good job of casting my iPhone to the tv when apps do not have a built-in cast feature.

by GryphKid44

Unfortunately Apple blocks this from streaming Apple TV +

by $$$fish

Had rep help me with setup. Works great every time.
Identically mirrors my iPhone !!!
