TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App Reviews

by AdRoque911

I was all ready to like TVCastScreenMirroringApp based on reviews and it’s rank in the Apple Utilities list. On install, before I could do anything post-payment ($20 lifetime - foolish) a window popped up prompting me to download the free upgrade to the newest ver. Only it wasn’t free and I couldn’t restore my purchase to the newer renamed app called Cast. That one actually works, after paying another $20 one-time fee.
I’ll pursue a refund & complaint via Apple and the CA Better Business Bureau, since there’s no subscription to cancel and the Dev likes to quote Apple’s policy rather than espouse any consumer rights or ack of this versioning bait-and-switch.
Lame and uh, illegal, at least in CA.
Oh, and the contact us app at the Dev’s website in Vietnam is broken. No getting ahold of them, apparently.

The only thing TVCastScreenMirroringApp does is demand $9.99 for a “premium” version that might actually do what this version claims, but I would be stupid to risk throwing my money at such scammers.
First time you open TVCastScreenMirroringApp and try to connect to your TV, it presents a full screen ad for PREMIUM with a tiny “X” in the corner obscured by a video. The “X” does not work.
Restar TVCastScreenMirroringApp , try again, huh, the “X” works now... continue to screen mirroring, and guess what? That particular feature is only available on PREMIUM ONLY $9.99!
Deleting and reporting to Apple.

I purchased the lifetime subscription and it was working great… for a few days then it stopped working and kept prompting me to the buy subscription screen. I tried to repurchase and it would tell me I had already purchased, if I wanted to repurchase for free. I would hit ok and nothing would happen. I tried to restore my purchase and nothing. I emailed them to get some help and no reply.

TVCastScreenMirroringApp is a scam. Even after you unsubscribe, they will still charge you. I have tried to contact but “there is a problem sending the message” on their website. I can’t even download free apps on this and this problem seems to keep going on. I can’t get a response at all. So to the developer, fix this problem now. It’s hard on everyone else and stop stealing money. I want my refund and I want you to stop charging me. Now.

I just bought TVCastScreenMirroringApp today. I paid $19.+ ( Best Deal)?. It takes a very long time for the videos to load. I also have to restart my iPhone every time I want to use TVCastScreenMirroringApp because it is not detecting my smart tv right away. And when it finally detects the smart tv, it’s take a very long time for the video you want to watch to load. People just start getting up and end up not watching it. I gave up. I hope I can get a refund.

Tried to connect my iPhone to my LG Smart TV, and it paired completely fine. I was able to view ONE photo and that was it. I tried to view another and it kept sending me to a page to where I could buy subscriptions to mirror my photos. I shouldn’t have to pay to view photos on my TV. This is just ridiculous. The advertisements are excessive as well. Not sure if I’m doing this wrong or not, but I was only able to view that one photo and that was it.

Went to get it to see if it worked for my Samsung tv. I selected the 3 day free trial and it charged me $30 for the 1 year subscription. I’ve contacted apple hopefully they see this has happened to a lot of people and refund my money. It doesn’t even work with my tv which Is why I was trying this and other free apps to watch the nba playoffs while working on the road. I wouldn’t recommend and will be very irritated if apple doesn’t refund my money.

TVCastScreenMirroringApp *may* work but all it really does is everything in its power to direct you down a path to pay $20 for a lifetime subscription to the service. If your app and service is any good then why not let people see for themselves and determine if they are willing to pay for it rather than taking the nagging ransom approach? Pretty lame way to service potential customers. Nothing to see here folks (literally!), I recommend moving along to a different solution.

by CaptainGHA

Unless things change, TVCastScreenMirroringApp will be useless to me. I followed all of the directions and while it initially appears to load my videos, the screen then goes blank. Had technical support on the phone for about an hour trying to work through the issue but despite resetting all of the devices and being told they were lined up properly, I still get a blank screen. It may be something with TVCastScreenMirroringApp itself.

by VSugarman

I purchased TVCastScreenMirroringApp for $20 and was unable to use it at all. It was not compatible with my TV and when I requested a refund it was denied. Do not recommend at all. I followed the process to get a refund through Apple and they directed me to the developer site that isn’t even running! Looks like there are many unpleased customers wanting their money back for an app that did not work! I would appreciate guidance on getting a refund.

Update: still have yet to receive a response months later!!

I would like to try it before I have to pay $20. One of the reviews has a response from the developer that said there is a 3 day trial period but I could not find it. Only option is to pay the $20 one time fee. Other concern is that all of the fine print talks about auto renewal and that your card will be automatically charged a renewal unless you cancel it. Not sure what the renewal would be if it’s a one time charge. Not doing it!!! Looking for another app that can provide similar service.

by Bjlocquiao

I don’t even know if it works but I got connected to my TV. However, the next step takes you right away to their subscription page. Otherwise you cannot continue. Any services you clicked on takes you to the subscription fee with no choice but a Free 3 Day Trial after that you are charged weekly. It says you could mirror for free but it is limited per day without subscription. Not in this case, nothing works until you have either subscribed to the 3day trial or to the premium. Uninstalling...

I’m not paying $20 for a service I haven’t even got to try to use. I can’t cast anything without getting a pop up for the premium service, and it won’t allow me to cast until I pay. I might be willing to pay if I got to try the service and see if I like it but I’m not going to fork over $20 to a company I don’t know for a service I can’t test to see if I like. Especially when other people are saying they’re having trouble getting their refund. Don’t waste time or money with TVCastScreenMirroringApp, just find a different one.

by Tp@tterson

TVCastScreenMirroringApp is useless. It doesn’t work on our Sony and Samsung TV. I wasted an entire day trying to figure this out. Save your $20 for something useful. I emailed their support for refund but they just replied on me on the same exact information on their “FAQ” to go to your subscription list on your Apple account. The problem is, the only thing listed there are those app that you can renew. I was already suspicious when I didn’t received an email about this purchase. The only place that I can see this was on my bank account!

by Edalbug

Doesn’t work at all. Not even a little bit. Doesnt recognize my smart tv until i downloaded a tv cast app on the tv, then when i click broadcast it goes 3...2...1... and doesnt work says i was attempting an invalid broadcast then an error message shows my device cannot be connected to at this time. Shows my xbox 1 is available for casting and i click on it and it does nothing. TVCastScreenMirroringApp is trash, no options in settings or otherwise other than to pay more money for a premium subscription for an app that doesnt work. Dont know how this got a high rating they must be stacking the ratings.

I purchased TVCastScreenMirroringApp three weeks ago. After installing and trying to get it working for a few hours with my Samsung Smart TV. Unfortunately it never worked. I sent an email to the address for app support as indicated in TVCastScreenMirroringApp and in this store. There was no reply. I forwarded the same email with added comments a few days later and still no reply. This was all done over two weeks ago now and there has never been any reply. I am cancelling this purchase now. TVCastScreenMirroringApp did not work as described and the support contact never responded. I cannot recommend TVCastScreenMirroringApp at all.

I really wish I would’ve read the reviews before purchasing TVCastScreenMirroringApp. I opted for the one-time $20 subscription expecting TVCastScreenMirroringApp to work as stated. It definitely did not. For one, when you broadcast from your phone to your tv, the quality on the tv is very poor. Second, I could never get the sound to come from the tv. It would only come from my phone. What’s the point of mirroring to the tv if you can hardly see the video and only hear it from the phone? I scoured the internet to see what I could do to fix it and found nothing. Please do not waste your time or money. I’ve submitted a request for a refund to Apple and I’m hoping it’s approved.

by Peih

Ive just purchased lifetime and known that broadcast doesn’t work good cuz it just rotated the small screen of your phone.
What can I do now? Waiting for your update or waiting for a refund?

Update: mirror screen works correctly but one question: how can it cast sound from my phone to tv?

by Hhiiiyyy

I was hoping to watch my shows on the tv screen. I cannot figure it out
. How do I get a refund.

by Zak2155

Even without the premium I can click the screen broadcast button whenever I want in the screen recording area Thank you

After making the purchase and getting nowhere I called support to find out that my tv is 3.5 and needs to be 4.0 so in other words it’s to old. I bought the tv last year! I was told I need to buy a Apple device to go into my tv in order for my iPhone to work correctly. Good to know after I made the twenty dollar purchase. What a waste of time and money.

1) if a video is upside down or side ways you can’t tilt your phone to make it upright Position doesn’t have any feature that does that.
2) takes a loooong time to stream to tv
3) can’t stream from web browser
4) there’s no forward or rewind feature so you have to play a video from beginning to end which is very annoying.

TVCastScreenMirroringApp also didn’t work for me. I paid for the premium plan and when I tried to connect to the TV using screen mirroring my TV gets stuck at a black page. I’ve done this time and time again with the same results. Then when I tried to get my money back and click the “restore button” it didn’t work

by Tinky0808

Only worked for three pictures (not even full screen) then requires money to operate. Not much for free, but to be expected. I’m sure the devs could make constant income with a few adds at the beginning and chill with the request to purchase. Lost two stars after it quit working. Come on devs. Tell me I’m wrong.

by Pyriel2012

Downloaded the free app and cast/played only one video onto my TV. When i tried to play a second, the ad to buy the full app ($20!!!) kept popping up every time. It happened 5 times in a row and then asked me to confirm my purchase. Because my thumb was on the home button, TVCastScreenMirroringApp automatically purchased.

Complete bust!

by Hollow113

Didn’t read the other review. Wish I would have. Doesn’t work, even though it found my device and said it would, it won’t stream anything I try to stream. Immediately tried to cancel service and get my subscription money refund, but can’t figure out how to do that either!! Guess I’m out $20

TV Cast works as advertised on my iPhone 6 and Samsung TV. Just launch TV Cast and the TV is recognized. Then open You Tube or Prime Video, etc and open the icon to play on your TV.
