A+ for effort

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.

Disappointed

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.

They need a zero star option. Seriously.

I should have read the most recent reviews before I wasted my time. Fortunately I cancelled my subscription in the app 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 the app 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?

This app 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 the app 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 the app 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.

Hello, i'm sorry to hear this and thanks for long feedback for us! There are a lot of Samsung tv models out there and we are working hard to make the app work with as many Samsung tv as possible. Can you please contact us to share your Samsung tv model? We know the bug invalid url and working hard to update the bug next week, in the mean time, you can use many other functions in our app. We have 3 days free trial option which you don't need to pay for the first 3 days to test our app quality, just quit if you don't like our app. About the pricing, the price $3.99 weekly is reasonable for our app with still many satisfied users and our effort. You can cancel the app at anytime. You just need to pay when you need to use our app.

Almost but not quite

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 this app. I felt like it was close. Please fix these issues and make it more user-friendly and intuitive.

Hello, for the video rotating, it's very difficult on technical side, when we are just able to detect the horizon of the screen. I think you may want to rotate the video on your iPhone before cast it to your tv.

It’s was good.... but it’s not working anymore

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 the app 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!!!!

Hello,

I'm sorry for this inconvenience!

Can you please try to turn off your tv, then unplug it from power source for at least 3 minutes, then try it again? It should fix the problem in many cases.

Shattered mirroring

I am requesting a full refund. I spent 3 hours after downloading this app 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.

Poor picture quality, won't do full screen

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!

Do not believe the free trial

I downloaded this app 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 the app. 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

Tried and Tried but No Joy

After two nights I finally gave up on trying to install this app 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 this app. 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.

Hello,

I'm sorry to hear this!

Some applications themselves block casting their screen to tv because of content copyright. I think that application blocks screen cast functionality from our app.

Way too buggy

Everytime I boot this app 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 this app I have issues. 1/10.
