Screen Mirroring - TV Cast Reviews

by Kazacka

You falsely advertise that ScreenMirroring is free. It’s not free. I couldn’t do anything with your app. You require I submit my credit card and agree to pay. That’s not free. With any app, I can call ScreenMirroring Store to cancel after paying if I don’t like it. You don’t allow users to try it. It’s a huge hassle to call ScreenMirroring Store and cancel the auto renewing subscription you require.

I just want to know if it works...... but I can’t tell. I need to try it for ONE HOUR. THATS ALL. A totally free app for ONE HOUR would be easy to offer, charge after that, It looks like it doesn’t work bc you won’t let people test it HASSLE FREE.

After two nights I finally gave up on trying to install ScreenMirroring on my iPad and iPhone without success. I use Tidal Premium and had been mostly using the Tidal app on my Roku 3 and Premium + devices but had noticed that what I am served just logging on to the Tidal website from the iPhone (6s) and iPad Pro were much different from each other and both different from what I’m served through the Tidal apps on my Roku devices. I much preferred what was offered on the first two. So this is why I tried.

I never could get anything to go the the TVs through the Rokus using ScreenMirroring. The only sound comes out of the iPhone and iPad. I have been having some DNS issues lately be have seen no clear sign that that is the problem. Guess I’ll have to keep looking fir a way to get what I want out of tidal.

I understand that the only reason you f developing apps is to earn some money regardless other ethical reasons that ypu can come up with. But I don’t understand why you force me yo subscribe and add my payment methods even for the free trial. Why you don’t just give me a trial ( for any number pf days) and then you let me choose if I want to buy it or not!?. It’s annoying after I downloaded ScreenMirroring I found that even to see how it works I have to submit my subscription! This is actually the raason for giving you one star because I couldn’t have a real survey unless I pay!.

So lame! You have to purchase before you get to use it. A lot of these “screen casters” are very similar! Like if it’s a scam. I’ve used multiples and after ONE cast they don’t work anymore. It’s always the same price and three days free BUT NOT REALLY. I don’t expect things to be free “forever” that’s stupid! I DO expect to try something without having to give my card info first. Three days isn’t long enough to even get your card info back from the company. Anyhow. I used it and ScreenMirroring STILL SUCKED! Stopped casting after the first use. Also HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!

Updated for clarity:
This should have been clearly listed as a trial version, with the trial part easy to access. I did not get the three days free trial.
It says it's connected to my Roku, but nothing happens. I enter a URL in the web browser and all that happens is it prompts me to try premium. I click screen mirroring, and again it prompts me to try premium-without mirroring.
When an app says it has a premium level, I expect it to have a basic level of some sort too. If it's a trial version only, I expect it to say so clearly on ScreenMirroring 's home screen, and in ScreenMirroring store description it really should be one of the first things you see.

I didn’t even bother completing my free trial. It’s so slow, laggy, and glitchy that I gave up entirely. On the rare occasion that it did load, there would be nearly a full minute of lag. I might have been willing to give two stars and keep ScreenMirroring if it were free, but the subscription price for the quality is completely unacceptable. I can spend the same amount on the one time purchase of a cable that works far better.

And before anyone chimes in about my connection, as I’ve seen in other comments, I can guarantee that it’s not. Even with optimal connection, I still experience lag and long load times.

I cancelled my subscription within the hour that I downloaded ScreenMirroring because it didn’t work for me. At least I thought I unsubscribed. Today I got an email from you. From it I can’t tell if you recognized my cancellation because the email just gives me different options for continuing. On the email it says “ To learn more or renew your subscription” to click on that, which takes me to another opening that says nothing about unsubscribing. You should be more clear in your correspondence. I am hoping I am truly unsubscribed and will be watching to see if I am unsubscribed or charged.

Everytime I boot ScreenMirroring up it lags, it’s got a cool 5-10 second delay (which in all honesty isn’t that big a deal to me, but the constant buffering is what kills me. And if I’m going to be paying for a service I’d expect it to be better). All that aside—my number one issue is how it just pauses itself! It stops to buffer and then it disconnects itself, saying it’s an invalid stream. It sends itself to a screensaver, ridiculous. I can’t even get 5 minutes into my video without this issue. I’ve been fiddling with it for a while now and I’m absolutely frustrated. There’s no way I’d spend my money on a product that doesn’t even *work* and no, it’s not my internet, I have no problems streaming to any of my other TVs without delay, it’s only using ScreenMirroring I have issues. 1/10.

I downloaded ScreenMirroring this morning to try. I could not make it work because the video I wanted to watch requires a subscription. So what did I do? I got the "free 3 day trial" tried to cast the video online. NBC requires me to sign up for something else. I'm over it. I made sure to Cance subscription. About 30 min was the length of ScreenMirroring . 8 hrs later they charged me for the week at 4.99. I look and show I cancelled it properly in my subscriptions but the screen shot I took this morning said enjoy until 3-10. Now it says enjoy until 3/14 cuz I was charged a week. I DID NOT APPROVE THIS PURCHASE AND I WAS ROBBED!!!! I canceled this. I have submitted reports to Apple for fraud and refund. They don't like I canceled after trying to stream a video ? Tough. Don't offer a free trial to see if we like your stupid app. Crooks! DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE

On my Samsung smart TV, both options for how to display had pixelation and hiccups in both sound and picture. My phone was only four feet from the TV and there were no other EM sources nearby (e.g., vacuum cleaners, space heaters, etc.). Also, unlike other screen share apps, turning your phone to horizontal/landscape does get reflected on TV, so although the image on your phone is landscape, the TV shows only a narrow, vertical image. I also need to join those who complained about the free trial that isn't free. The blurb did not mention anything special that needed to be done --- so unlike other free trials, I was charged one week's fee for what I thought was a free trial. Tell me: if this wasn't a rip off, why was I automatically charged for one week rather than prompted for which of three payment plans/spans I wanted? Beware!

I am requesting a full refund. I spent 3 hours after downloading ScreenMirroring to try and get it to work. I have a new Samsung TV and an iphone 7. Everything we tried failed to work including your instructions. I googled various other websites/user instructions to see how they had obtained mirroring and tried their instructions. Nothing worked. Then after hours of struggling I removed the ability to do in-app purchases on my iphone the same day to hopefully prevent a charge to my account by your app. I had to turn on “ in app purchases” just for your 3 day” trial” to download your app. I was suspect after that. Sure enough 4 days later I get charged for a service that doesn’t work. I would highly recommended you list required equipment (tv models), IOS versions and better instructions and any tertiary equipment needed to make this work like a wireless network etc. I would like my money back too.

I should have read the most recent reviews before I wasted my time. Fortunately I cancelled my subscription in ScreenMirroring store before even three hours went by let alone three days.

I have an iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 13.2.3. All my apps are up to date, as is my Samsung Smart TV.

I followed all the instructions and waited for it to load the phone screen. As soon as it was almost loaded, I received an “invalid URL, closing in 5 seconds” with the countdown then nothing.

Oh ScreenMirroring didn’t “crash” by closing itself per se, but if you can never get the screen from your device actually loaded onto your TV what’s the point?

ScreenMirroring might have been great when first released, but the devs have failed to keep up with the changes to iOS and/or Samsung TVs. Either way, charging $3.99/week is ridiculous unless ScreenMirroring was totally flawless but it’s not. Why would I pay a $200+/year to watch my iPad on my TV? I don’t even pay that much for Netflix or any other streaming service.

Also, note to devs: Your canned responses to customers with real issues is pathetic and patronizing. Try making sure ScreenMirroring works. Either the devs haven’t kept it up to date or you need new QA testing staff. I would never let anything this bad out of my sandbox let alone into the wild. This is charging customers to do your Alpha testing.

Don’t insult the intelligence of your customers. My 2 year old Great Nephew could do better.

Greetings!

I have the model of 55LF6100-UA and everything works well except for the most important feature: Screen Mirroring. What happens is, when I select the option to”Optimize Speed” - my TV screen goes black as if it is about to work, and the opens up the internet browser for the TV. If this is designed to project my iPhone / iPad screen to my LG Smart Tv, then it isn’t doing so. I’m able to project my images and videos to the TV, but the Screen Mirroring seems to want to work, but cancels. I’d be more than willing to try and willing to pay for a longer subscription, but thankfully, $3.99 isn’t much of a loss and it’s been successfully cancelled. Thank you for trying and I’m willing this feedback assists you

After trying ScreenMirroring , I realized it didn’t work on my model TV; the tv will either not load my screen at all or when it does it’ll say something like “invalid URL” and close out anyway. I bought a lifetime subscription because I thought it came with a free trial but it charged my card right away. I want a full refund for the subscription, nothing against ScreenMirroring it just doesn’t work on my model TV so I want my $42 back.

Update: every time I request a refund, right away I get the message that “We’ve determined that your purchase doesn’t meet the conditions for a refund.” How do I fix this because ScreenMirroring simply doesn’t work on my TV and I never got a free trial, so I’d like a refund.

I figured out how to mirror from my iPhone 7 iOS 13.1.3 to Samsung 6 series 60. 1) Pictures . Maybe something i’m missing but I thought I would be able to scroll through pictures and not have to preselect them before casting. 2) video. Same. But all my videos display on there side 90 degrees off. And no way to fix this. 3) screen casting. Not clear how to make this work. When I select screen casting it Takes me to a screen where it says optimize Speed optimize quality. I tried both. Then says to select screen mirroring and select broadcast. Then stuck . Doesn’t make sense. I select Screen mirroring within the mirroring app the purple icon in the middle at the top But that just shows me whether I want to connect to my Samsung TV or my Roku. I wanted to like ScreenMirroring. I felt like it was close. Please fix these issues and make it more user-friendly and intuitive.

At first I really enjoyed using your TV app Because at first it worked but now all of a sudden when I’m trying to pull a video up onto the television it’s telling me that I need to download a VPN. If you guys know anything about that please let me know because ScreenMirroring was working really good before and now it’s not even working at all anymore. The video I wanna watch does not come up on the TV screen. Can you please tell me how in the world can I fix that, because other than that your app is good it’s really good but I just need to know how I can have my videos shown on the television. Please respond to me ASAP because I have a few shows that I’d like to be watching right now!!!!

The video resolution was very bad, but was especially noticeable on my 4K Tv. The photo resolution was acceptable, but the image displayed on 1/8 of the screen. Full screen viewing will probably be very poor. It did not really mirror my screen since full screen viewing of a photo displayed the photo on 1/8 of the TV screen. Lifetime cost of $40 was not worth it. Easier and a better value is to just go buy a chromecast or equivalent hardware device and avoid the risk of having your videos and photos saved of this sites server. Security risk moderately high to high. Free was costly! I should have read the large number a bad review. But i was very impressed with the effort of the developers to respond to the bad review. I really think that an app like this one, when it finally work better, and for a lot less than $40 is needed.

by ZacharyLars

So I’m only rating ScreenMirroring four stars because I’m so unsure. When I cancelled my free trial after purchasing the one lifetime deal, it says it expires in three days so I don’t know if the lifetime deal will work and considering I bought it for 20 dollars, I really hope I didn’t waste it. Please help (:

You seem to have many user issues. I believe my current issue is with my WiFi signal but I’m not sure yet. However, for someone to give you 1 star because they made the mistake of clicking on the trial is as dumb as many of the other things people are complaining about, especially after you didn’t hesitate to approve a full refund. They should’ve amended it. I felt the need to offset this, albeit my vote won’t make that much of a difference.

I don’t think the issues stated in the negative reviews are all necessarily inaccurate. But I feel they are overreacting in an unfair manner. That being said, I hope you are able to work out all the bugs. It can’t just work. It has to be simple and easy.
From the standpoint of customer service, you guys seem to be top notch. Keep trying. I love the willingness to respond. I’d suggest working toward an effective app; one that you can provide all available features free of charge. I say this only because of what you’re competing with.
Best wishes.

Hello app developer, I bought the trial that automatically took ten dollars out of my account, which would’ve been fine if ScreenMirroring worked for what I wanted it to :( I’m hoping I can cancel my subscription and get a refund, in hopes of finding a different mirroring service that better suits my needs.

by GFG_CHOPPY

ScreenMirroring is a piece of garbage. Not only does ScreenMirroring not screen mirror, but their “3-day” trial isn’t even a selectable button. It brings you to a 1 year full price checkout screen instead of just continuing the 3 day trial like I wanted to. Now I’ve been charged because of my finger print authorization. Super disappointed ScreenMirroring has been created to deceive people into buying a year subscription. Not only that, but I still can’t screen cast to my roku+ as advertised. I would really like a refund....

by Ariadne41

ScreenMirroring is the worst!
It’s slow, useless and pointless. I was able to mirror a video on my phone browser to my LG TV... for ONLY 10 SECONDS. After that, a pop would show up on my phone asking if I wanted to connect to TV..I mean it’s already connected so why the pointless pop up? anyways, ignoring the pop up stops the video on my TV. Clicking ‘yes’ blacks out my TV screen.
I can’t believe I just spent 30 minutes trying to make this useless app work.

by Nessting

Really wanted this to work so I could stream a show from my phone to my TV, but my TV would show under devices and never connect. I’ve paid for a subscription to ScreenMirroring for multiple weeks and never got it to work. Not sure if it was a WiFi issue because both were connected to the same network, and the TV would show up as an available device, but once I clicked on it nothing would happen.

I purchased this and when I tried to get my iPhone 11 Pro Max running on iOS 13.2.2 to mirror in landscape mode on my Samsung UN55JS8500, it doesn’t work. Also I have tried both modes ((optimized for speed and the other mode). I tried to contact customer support via their support form and haven’t received an email reply in over 12 hours. I can’t get a refund on the Apple App Store either. $40 bucks down the drain.

by あや幽霊

Easy to use and actually works with no problems. The quality isn’t fantastic and there’s a 6 second lag, but I had no connection issues while using it. Also, you don’t need a second app on your tv. This is the best roku screen cast I could find.

How do I turn off auto renew? I tried going to my phone settings and there is no option for turning off auto renew. Please help!
