2025-01-13 | Not easy to download the new firmware version hope you make it easy on the app there is update firmware but when update it never works | ||
2024-12-17 | Sucks you can't cast just using the USB cable... Edit: the app also doesn't work, it just asks for every single permission then, stops working. | ||
2024-11-09 | It always says Connection timeout!etc. I tried to unplug and re plug but still says Connection timeout! I followed every instructions in the manual activate development option turn on the USB debugging even turn on the tethering USB. When I turned on the USB debugging it won't notify my device that thing that needs to be checked for your confirmation to let ezcast connect to your device. Need help dev! | ||
2024-10-29 | It's not that bad, but for my issue 9r perhaps my curiosity is that why can't I find the web feature in the new EZ cast update app on my phone? Also is it possible to put subtitles on tv from my phone? | ||
2023-05-22 | It works on my other phone, but on this phone, it doesn't work! The phone that doesn't work (Vivo Y01, Android version 11) My other phone (Vivo 1820 Android version 8.0.1) Edit:I know all the steps, you turn on usb debugging, turned on tethering hardware accelerated, selected "USB tethering" on USB configuration, changed my wire, and turned on USB tethering. It says "Already connected to wire" when I press the wire icon on the top right but it doesn't show anything on my "non-smart" TV | ||
2022-04-21 | Bought the mirascreen wire+ from high peak with the led projector. Go to connect it, get the mobile phone screen up and load Disney+, Black screen. Come on here to check reviews. Apparently the drm of these streaming apps causes a Black screen. Go figure, waste of money, they should really specify this in the product details since it is one of the main reasons I would see for using this product. GARBAGE product hopefully I can manage to get a refund. | ||
2022-01-01 | At first I was impressed, bought the cable to hook up to the tv HDMI port. Worked good for the first use. Noticed the quality of the screen wasn't the greatest but didn't really bother me much. Then, after a little more usage, the app kept freezing and then crashing, I would have to forcefully stop the app and disconnect everything and plug it back in and try again. Sometimes it takes a little for it to malfunction, or just within a few minutes. I would not recommend, it wasn't that great. | ||
2021-10-04 | When I first bought my EZCast Wire device, it worked very well. But every time that I have updated this app or the device's firmware, it has gotten a little worse (I have been using the same phone the entire time, and that phone has had no updates). Now, EZCast takes multiple attempts even to connect, and then it always drops out when I switch to the app I want to cast, and sometimes even while I'm still in the EZCast app. Now it wants to put ads in my notifications? Forget it. | ||
2021-05-22 | My biggest concern is that when I'm using my projector with my phone I can't play Hulu or YouTube movies. For some reason regular YouTube videos play just fine so does Netflix but if I try to play Hulu or any movie that I bought on YouTube I just get a black screen. This also strikes me is really odd because even though the video is black I can still see the time bar moving and the pause/play button. | ||
2021-04-14 | Quite literally the worst app ever. The mini projector i got that happens to work with this app works just fine when connected via HDMI but when you plug it up to your phone in conjunction with this app it's damn near impossible to get it cooperate. And when you DO GET IT to work... it doesn't work well with many of your standard streaming apps such as Netflix or Hulu. I very much contemplated returning the projector just because of the frustration I experienced wit this app. |
