Ratings and reviews

decided to purchase after testing couple of camera videos. pretty good. the problems started when tried ro stream a movie from the phone to the TV. freezes randomly. may be in 30 minutes once, and 10 times in three minutes. also doesn't change the audio track. the second track was in V.O., but was no way to set it, so we watched the movie translated.

This is edit from 9/8/21. Back then had some issues, wrote to support and immediately got suggestions on how to fix things. After following suggestions, everything worked out and I bought premium version. Still to this day, three years later, this app rocks, even after I switched phones twice and added Roku/Apple TV/ Samsung TV to the pool, switched inet providers. Five stars hands down, thanks for always keeping up with updates. Even if something does not work, it is always on my end of things.

It works great. I mean, I suppose it works great, I honestly have no idea what I'm doing yet but I choose a movie, hit a bunch of random stuff and eventually the movie plays. All I can ask for. 4/14/24Okay! So I've been using it for a few days now and I rather like it. Download the app on your TV AND your phone. Put the app on both devices when you want to use it If you don't have captions but want them there's a link on your phone that says subtitles, click on that and choose source. All set!
