Screen Mirroring for Roku Reviews

by 🥰JANIYA🥰

so I had just downloaded it says get pro or watching a ad so I watched an ad so when I press start broadcasting all you see is just on my TV lines going down and I was like why is it doing that
so when I go on app like Safari it just started lagging in my keyboard on the TV it’s keep moving different ways and stuff and I was just getting annoyed and it started glitching like lagging so i exited to the home and going back to Safari but it wasn’t doing it on my phone and when I go on Photos it just start messing up like my video and watching it just started start stopping and it just keeps stopping in stopping and stopping on me and I’m like why is it doing it and I exit out of it I waited like a 20 or 30 minutes to get back on it so I got back on it and it still did the same thing but when I tried it in the broadcast it froze so my TV was like that the whole time and so I press home on my remote and then it started working again so I was so mad that it started doing this and I just deleted it and never in my life download it again and I do not know how people just get this 5 stars like this do not deserve five stars to actually deserves zero but you can’t put zero so I gave it a one so yeah bye 👋🏽

Well i changed my review to a lower standar considering airplay is free for home kit and i only need my phone and the tv with ScreenMirroring you have to have another source of internet ScreenMirroring and the tv its like airplay with extra steps i would ask for a refund but im not sure how to do that i dont understand why ScreenMirroring is need and with homekit i can turn my tv on use the remote too and the tv comes on mirrors automatically without hitting a button as soon as i get near the tv as long as its connected to my hotspot i do recognize not everyone will have a hotspot on their phone and will have seperate connections but that is some information you could specify as im sure most dont realize how complicated a setup this actually is 2.99 is cheap and a good price but at the least display info

I downloaded this to be able to mirror my iPad to the tv during a phone call on FaceTime. It stop working after about 10 minutes into a family conversation. At first to download the original app and then I had to choose the pro or watch an ad. Because of the time for the phone call I chose the pro version for $3.99. After the totally disappointing during the phone call it stop working. Plus totally disappointed that mirror screen didn’t expand bigger on the tv screen. Very little options on the settings. So I will delete ScreenMirroring and hopes that I will get a refund. Since it wouldn’t let leave ZERO stars I had to leave a star.

by CharmingPiper

Thought this might be promising from the reviews but unfortunately it didn’t work for me. Downloaded app to both iPad and tv, (all devices running latest os), selected watch an ad, ad never played, then confirmed to start broadcast and it only broadcasts ScreenMirroring , nothing else. You can see the connection to the tv works because the broadcast timer is going on both tv and iPad, tv a tick behind but that’s no big deal. The problem is trying to broadcast other apps. When I go to home page or move to other open apps, nothing is relayed to the tv and the broadcast timer on the tv freezes. Waited a few min thinking it needed time to catch up but nothing ever updated to the tv.

I tried to rate this when downloaded and it made me give two stars when i clicked only one, so lets get that straight out right away. Further more if u dont pay u dont get prioritized in terms of your importance to the company...that sounds really sketchy because you should be smart enough to know that even if someone does not pay their feedback can still be of importance and shouldnt be at the cost of its relevance towards your personal feelings on the matter, just a bad business practice in my opinion. Also in order to use this product you are forced to watch ads before it will even allow u to turn it on. All the while my boyfriend bought the tv your company also makes. So why must i pay when ive already paid u for the tv. Roku is no longer a product i will have anything to do with. I feel now like my phone and information got hacked due to this apps oddly phrased comments both on your website and your tv and also now ScreenMirroring ...deuces

We previously had a nicer tv but my toddler broke out last two so we went with an inexpensive TCL Roku tv in case it happened again. You get what you pay for. The tv being a “smart tv” seems a stretch. Also, with our previous TVs being able to screen share was included. With this you can have a really terrrrrible screen mirror with the worst lag time and blurry pictures and no sound out of the tv only for it to be interrupted every two minutes with an ad for the pro app. I know you can upgrade to pro but not about to waste money based on how badly the free app performs. As you can tell I’m highly dissatisfied and will never recommend to a friend. This will probably go on eBay soon and just upgrade to the nicer tv brand.

by StevenCee

Just downloaded it, to see a major football game. However, a full-screen ad prompt, to upgrade to the pro version kept popping up EVERY 2 or 3 MINUTES!!
I’ve never, ever seen anything like it, and to watch the game, I had to also set up my iPad by me, in order to see the action as the ad filled the screen on my big screen TV! Needless to say, it was a major pain, and while I likely would’ve paid for the upgrade, there’s no chance I will now! That was like a slap in the face, and I don’t see how anyone can even use the free version, with that happening. And it’s certainly not the best way to show new users how well it works, so they would upgrade, it was like having someone nagging me every few minutes… They need to treat their users with more respect than that….

by Windflyer3

1. This is a free version. Every 30 seconds a screen prompting you to upgrade takes over for about 10 seconds. It makes, for example, putting a zoom meeting on my tv a very poor experience.
2. It doesn’t connect to my Roku sound, but plays sound through my iPad.
2. Worse yet, when I quit the application, it is still interfering with my normal Roku streaming. I couldn’t stop this behavior until I deleted ScreenMirroring from my iPad. It seemed that the pop up admonishment to upgrade was somehow still running, but instead, displayed a film-like strip which you would use to move around in the stream, along the bottom for a few seconds.

This behavior, in a world where apps use your data for marketing, access your room sound and video, etc, I would not trust ScreenMirroring.

by Haus1978

Unbelievable. I hadn’t even used ScreenMirroring for 2 minutes, I hadn’t even figured out how to even use ScreenMirroring yet and it wants me to pay or watch a meaningful ad. Ok sure. So hear I am trying to figure my way around your app and boom a pop up for a rating, it hasn’t even been 3 minutes of me using ScreenMirroring. And here I am angry. Because as I tried to mirror my screen two more minutes in I have to qr scan my screen to continue screen mirroring my dang phone! Spit that try to focus on my yoga that I’m trying to screen mirror from my phone and two minutes later another qr scan to continue. NO THANK YOU!!! You didn’t even let me attempt to try out ScreenMirroring for 6 minutes yet. No thank you. Goodbye. The other screen mirroring Roku app has better ratings anyway. I’ll go try that one. Happy 2021 to you! Awful.

I downloaded the apps for the mirroring and even put my tv right next to the WiFi box but it still froze. In the beginning, the channel wasn’t even being displayed on the tv so I waited a few hours for it to show up. After waiting, I downloaded the apps to connect. I got really exited the first two (2) seconds because after, it completely froze after I tried to play something. There was a hard lag on the tv and the screen records were never saved to my iPhone. I tried deleting and downloading the apps several times before I just gave up. I tried it with other devices and I unfortunately still had no luck.

by Your Dads Ashes

At first I thought it was going to work just fine because it was quick to connect to my tv but only after 2 seconds my mind was changed because of the bad graphics( Not a big factor it was expected) and the Lag the really bad lag is what stumped me because their don’t seem to be any settings to do anything about it. Although it when I started it up it brought up something about premium so you don’t need to watch adds, I don’t know if better quality is something that’s apart of it and if not the apps not worth it at all if that’s the best it can do but like I said if it DOES have better quality knock yourself out and get it me though I’m only 15 yrs old I don’t really care much.

Okay listen up. I haven’t used this in months. I can’t believe that you have watch an AD to do this. Like it just feels like this was made for money. I read other reviews just now, and your responses are the most hilariously annoying answers to questions or just plain bad reviews. On one they were complaining about how it is dumb you have to pay or watch an Advertisement and your response was pretty much, If you dont like it buy this and get no Ads. SERIOUSLY. Also it asks you for review like every two minutes. And your response was you had no control! I didn’t know that was possible but you made it jn your app so you must be able too.

I tried ScreenMirroring for streaming twitch. It works! But the video quality shown on the TV is bad, even with superb internet speeds and perfect quality on the streaming device. Basically a 1080p stream looks like the equivalent of 360p; you can tell what’s going on but cannot read any text or make out details.

Also the free version pops up with a 10 second add every minute or two so it’s not useable as a free tool; mostly just to test if the product works for your use case. My use case was streaming twitch to my Roku tv, and it is inadequate for this, but might be cool for general browsing or another use case.

Seem to work and there is no lag, but if u start mirroring then hit the home key (Ipad) to pull up ScreenMirroring that you want to mirror the broadcast stops. You have to first put ScreenMirroring that you want to broadcast in the dock then pull up ScreenMirroring to start mirroring, then swipe from the bottom to get your program from the dock. Cumbersome, but doable.
Here’s the worst part: for the free version, the broadcast gets interrupted, literally, every 90 seconds with an ad for the pro version that lasts 10 seconds.... EVERY 90 SECONDS!!
I might be willing to go pro (though I am so ticked off about the 90second timer maybe not) but I cannot find any information on the cost...makes me think it will be outrageous, otherwise, why hide it? So I will not bother... make the ads every 15 mins or so, if it’s good, I’ll buy it - if the price is reasonable. How much is it?

I looked at the reviews before I downloaded ScreenMirroring , most of them said it was lagging a bit and those reviews were from March/April of this year. I thought that would’ve been enough time for the developers to fix some of the bugs for ScreenMirroring since I am trying to screen mirror onto my Roku TV. I downloaded ScreenMirroring , I figured it would be a little lag and what not, but the audio stays from your phone and it does not go to the TV, the lag is more atrocious than I thought it would be. From using it for two minutes, I suggest you don’t use ScreenMirroring

by Eden3270

It is really annoying to look up and see the screen glitching out... it connected easily but still it was very slow and has very low quality. I know the point is to encourage us to get the pro, but having it pop up in the middle of something is really aggravating. But it did the job and connected for a while. Still it’s what I wanted...i just wanted something to project My screen on and it did the job, before an ad popped up... still able to use, but would fix how it looked on screen and also is a bit delayed... but anyway it is a good thing to project things on for a while. Thank you!

by IEgghead0720

Its a little slow. I have a PC im comparing it to. The glaring issue is that audio isn’t casted as well. Im trying to broadcast my digital books from iphone 8plus. The books have read along for kids. So to broadcast both video and audio on tv would make this 5 stars. I gave 4 bc its free and decent. I will change to 5 if audio is improved.

by LynIglesias

It’s a good app and easy to use. I just used it once to mirror my iPad during a Zoom meeting. The only issue occurred after 45 minutes of use. I was kicked out because apparently I “attempted to start an invalid broadcast session,” but I was not even touching my iPad. I don’t know if this is a recurring issue since I’ve only used ScreenMirroring today. I reopened ScreenMirroring to fix the problem. I plan on going Pro for $2.99 if I don’t find any other issues the 2nd time around.

by Survival At Home

I waited until I used ScreenMirroring for a week before writing this review. I used the free app first to make sure my pad would mirror to the tv and after a day of using it numerous times (while being interrupted by the ad suggesting buying the pro app) I decided to splurge and spend the $2.99.
ScreenMirroring has allowed me to do my zoom workouts while watching on the big screen instead of the small iPad screen. It also has allowed my family to watch church services streamed live on the big screen as opposed to crowding around my iPad. My only complaint would be that the sound only comes from my iPad and not the tv sound bar.
Very happy with the results and price!

by P3S Flyer

I have been using this product for some time. I recently had an issue with ScreenMirroring freezing after an update. I informed the developer via review of the issue. I received an email stating that they were aware of the problem and that it would be resolved. I downloaded the recent update and ScreenMirroring works again. I am very pleased with the developer’s quick response and their continuing work on ScreenMirroring.

by LisaMichelle90

This is too difficult. You have to match ScreenMirroring between the roku device and your phone and there’s so many it’s hard to tell which is which on the roku channel search engine AND ScreenMirroring Store on iPhone. Once you download the apps correctly it doesn’t seem to tell you which roku device is which. Like is it the living room roku device or the one in the bedroom...? (We have more than one obviously.) And you have to watch an ad for each one trying to figure it out. Plus judging from the reviewer before me it has no sound??? What’s the point then?! I’m definitely not going pro if that’s the case. This is a nice idea but they made it too difficult and i never got it to work properly and when I emailed them and they said they don’t answer all their emails and that it may take a few days! Like... ??? I would like to see ScreenMirroring improved and made more simple and organized as it is a good idea and I do need such a product as most of the exercise apps that I have found on my iPhone through ScreenMirroring Store don’t have a way to watch their videos on a bigger screen and you either have to buy a stand or hold it in your hand while trying to do the exercises. And on top of that I wear glasses and it’s hard to see the screen. I was hoping this device would help but they have a long way to go apparently. Sorry but I give it one star.

by Eillem27

This thing worked for two seconds after I finally got it to cast then it started freezing, and then it stopped. In under five minutes ScreenMirroring had already taken its time to work, slowly freeze, stop working, and then it went completely black! Next thing that comes up on my tv screen is the original screen/reset screen for my tv.
I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. If you could give less than one star then I would. I’m sorry but that’s the hard truth.

by StarmanLars

I’ve tried ScreenMirroring using my IPad and IPhone10. I can get to the initial screen on the tv that shows the broadcast had started. And a timer starts, but after about 8 seconds in the timer freezes on the tv while it keeps counting on my device. And ScreenMirroring will not show anything more. It’s like the broadcast has frozen.
I’ve seen the developers response to many other problems on here and I’m up to snuff there.
Guess I’ll need to buy the lightning to HDMI cable instead since ScreenMirroring won’t work right.

by Landm1990

Over and over again ever single second. Can see my phone and then nothing but black screen, then phone, then black screen. Was trying it out to decide if I wanted to buy it, it’s a shame too because the quality is better than the actual Roku mirroring app. Hope you guys fix this soon, if so, I’ll definitely be buying it then, but I gave one star because it’s completely unusable right now in this condition.

by あや幽霊

Very easy to set up, and does display my iPad Pro 11’s screen to my TCL Roku TV. However, like other users, ScreenMirroring is unusable because the projection consistently blacks out every 2 seconds, no matter what is being projected. I have fully updated iOS 13.3; my WiFi is in the same area as my devices and has great connection; both devices aren’t using a power-saving mode and are both the proper temperature.
I notice the developer is just giving a cookie-cutter response to everyone so unfortunately I don’t expect them to fix it anytime soon.

by Fjfjfjlsss

It does work as it’s supposed to, only thing that makes it unusable is it is constantly flashing black frames every 2 seconds.

I’m sure there’s limitations on the quality of the image and the hoops you have to jump through to get this thing working halfway, but IMO this should not be released until it’s patched up.

I hope nobody paid pro because they’re left with an application that has serious bugs.

I’ll give you props for making this but it has a major flaw. You probably threw together a work around for this but for many people it’s unacceptable.

by Prismagraphy

If you’re reading something, or just looking at pictures on your tv, ScreenMirroring is good. If you’re wanting to cast videos from your device to your tv, it’s a bit too soon for that. The video was choppy and delayed by about 13 seconds, although this may depend on your internet speed.

by Mgp1977

It’s awesome to finally be able to do this with my iPhone without having an Apple TV but it has a problem where the screen will turn black every 5 seconds for only like a second or so so it’s not the total end of the world but it does need to be fixed.

by Pennybink

Deleted a few other apps I couldn’t figure out or they made it hard to find their app on ScreenMirroring store to match ScreenMirroring from roku. With sound to hopefully come later, I can see purchasing when sound is added. ScreenMirroring on my phone found my roku device and promoted me to get ScreenMirroring for the roku. So that made it easier on me.

by JoelB259

ScreenMirroring does as advertised, there is no latency and the set up is extremely easy. It’s also actually free as well which is nice. The only thing keeping ScreenMirroring from being number one is the black screen that briefly pops up every 5 seconds. That would be my only complaint, the resolution could be a bit better but that’s not a deal breaker. Hopefully as ScreenMirroring develops these issues will be resolved. Keeping it for now to see the progress.

by SteVoBooZe

Easy set up free just watched an ad and was able to start using. The only problem I had was that I can not get the volume to play on my television it is playing solely on my phone anyone have any ideas how to fix that? But other then that best mirroring app

by Random Person134

ScreenMirroring is amazing it instantly found my Roku and everything went like said but the only thing I didn’t like is the FPS also known as Frames per second the FPS was very slow if I did a fast movement while screen mirroring the tv would not be as fast as the phone so it was delayed

by Bebe10987

I see nothing that says this is a trial and I must pay for use. Until it works perfectly for one minute and then message pops up on iPad screen that says “...has stopped because your one minute trial has ended. “
What’s Up with that?

by OriginalPureSuga

I was looking for something that I can broadcast my bts bon voyage episodes on my tv but had no options until I discovered ScreenMirroring! Thank you! This makes my viewing experience much better and I can enjoy foreign television to a greater extent now.
