Ratings and reviews

Does exactly what it says it does. Fairly straightforward to setup, no real hassles that I encountered. Some people might complain about paying $6 for the full version and no ads, but as a programmer, if you think $6 is too much, you don't respect our work or how much work it actually is. Make sure you don't have a proxy or VPN on as that could cause problems detecting it locally on other devices.

BubbleUPnP is best in class. And it's not even close. Seriously. When it comes to handling, transcoding, and casting media streams, BubbleUPnP seems to cover anything I throw at it. Not to mention a dedicated server application and lots of third-party integrations for media sources. This app has been maintained for many years, and it's development has a clear vision. This is one of those apps that keeps me on Android, and if you do any media streaming and casting, buying this is a no-brainer!

Freaking INCREDIBLE! I've owned PREMIUM for quite some time now and I have only just realized it's potential. The more I learn about LAN and WAN file/media access the more apps like this start to excite me and make sense. I hope the developers keep this alive and find ways to push the boundaries even more. Ie: Potentially, incorporate remote desktop management,control and file transfer protocols to help finally make phones a viable replacement for computers on a fundamental level. Thank you!!
