TV Cast & Screen Mirroring App 17+

Works good but stopped for a couple days then came back

It’s been a little back and forth but it seems to work well for the most part. The lack of a player leaves you to use your tv remote to fast forward rewind etc. this is not exactly obvious. Previously I left a poor review, as it stands it works better than that and deserves 4 of 5.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD WILL CHARGE AND DOES NOT WORK

Went to download this app thinking I could use the free trial as I have not tried this before on my Vizio TV and we currently have lost the remote. In the details it refers to in app purchases ( as in you’ll be able to purchase something after downloading ). They failed to mention - which is also false advertising - that when you download it will automatically charge you for the “free week trial”. I am only writing this review so that no one else falls into the trap. I would not be so frustrated if the app had actually worked but, it did not work at all and just took my money with no free trial. Even after going to cancel, it appears I can sign up for some premium offer for half the price? This doesn’t make any sense. I have never been so highly disappointed in an app. I guess shame on me for not reading the reviews as I usually do.

Developer Response ,

Hi user, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. Your pleasure is our top priority, so we do regret that it was not reflected in your experience with our app. We have been investigating the issue of being charged during the trial period for a long time. However, it seems hard to find out the causes. Please help us by requesting a refund from Apple App Store. Unfortunately, Apple does not allow us to process subscriptions and refunds directly. Please help yourself by following this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084 ; We do hope to assist you in the future. Best regards, Universal Remote Labs

Scam. Do NOT download or launch!!

I was all ready to like this app 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.
