Contact Screen Mirroring Cast Mirror Support

When you open the app it gives you an option of a 3-day trial but you can’t click that button because it’s not even a real button so you keep clicking and accidentally click the button overlapping to purchase the yearly subscription! 🤦‍♂️

It even reorders the option so the default is yearly instead of weekly or monthly like it is when you first open the app. This is ground scum baggy hoping it will become a parasitic purchase monthly without the average user noticing because it just works.

The app works just fine if you find the magical “close” button instead of paying for the subscription. This is so scummy I’m shocked this made it through Apple review and I will be reporting this directly to apple!

I am wondering why you haven’t yet added support for using this on Roku? If you can make this work on the other platforms, you could make this work on the Roku as well. Please please please add Roku to the platforms that you can cast to! All I have is a Roku box. I don’t have a smart TV. I got this app several months ago, hoping you would add Roku so I could screen mirror to my analog TV that I hooked my roku up to. I would love to use your app, when you can add Roku to the supported platforms for screen mirroring. Thank you for taking the time to read my message! I really hope you will take the time to add Roku so I can use your app. Thanks! The app sounds great, but until Roku is added, I can’t give it more than 2 stars. That’s because I can’t use it yet, because you didn’t add Roku, and the two stars are for how good it looks in the provided screen shots. I will give more stars once I can actually use it.

UPDATE: I just found precise reason why this app is sort of useless (at least for quality television and films). The very first FAQ on Replica’s website points to DRM (Digital Rights Management) which limits functionality of this app, e.g. black screen; error messages, etc. I don’t see the point, if the client (me) owns a title or purchases a streaming service? It must be a licensing issue w/ Replica This was a promising option but alas doesn’t work with ‘A’ list media.

Replica works like a charm with my brand new iPhone 12 max pro—which even comes with one free year of Apple TV. Perfect right? Well the bummer is that Apple won’t allow broadcasting, as the title is so-called “recording” via Replica. That’s the point of the app, right? I was expecting it to behave like Chromecast (I own the film titles). So now i’m on the hunt for a work around or troubleshooting guide. i’m on the clock (1 year of apple tv; 3 days of Replica) to figure this out or i’ll have to drop both Replica and apple tv! 😢

i’ll try to update this review if i figure it out. For what it’s worth pairing Replica with my tv device was incredibly seamless. As i’m typing this, i see a big fat image of it on television—but not why i downloaded the app!
