Thought this would be bad based on the ratings, but it's actually good. It let's you control the phone wirelessly and the picture quality and phone skins make this one stand out. A little bit of ads to make you upgrade, which is fair to fund a sustainable solution. Free version is time limited to 10 min. and there is a watermark - that is about it. Better than the rest, 5 stars from me.

Purchased Lifetime license. Big mistake. When they update the app, they launch it without verifying all features function. So the reverse cast and control from one android device to another no longer functions. CS tried to help, but the developers claimed they needed a detailed description of the problem. Went round and round with CS trying different fixes, to no avail. The cost of the Lifetime purchase was $60, but the cost of the wasted time effort was much worse.

Great work! I have a cheap prepaid smartphone that I use as a hotspot for my Android tv. I feel like I've tried every other cast/mirror app in the play store and they won't mirror my phone too my tv because it's not "wifi". This app does it with no issues and the clarity and sync is almost identical to the timing of my phone. You guys rock! Thank you!

1. The desktop app opens every time i boot my PC, and i can't stop it from doing so. That's an automatic 2 stars, because I'm FED UP with apps that insist on starting whenever i stay my computer. 2. Crashes often. 3. Doesn't keep phone lockscreen from taking over every 60 seconds! 4. Free version won't scale up image on pc, and has giant watermark in middle of screen, which I'm not counting against it, because free, but people should be warned before wasting their time on it.

Wow!! There is nothing you can do with the "trial" version. Can't go full screen, giant watermark across the screen, navigation UI is not friendly at all. Best part is uninstalling the app from my PC. The app wouldn't even close!! I had to go into the app's folder on my hard drive, find the uninstall application, and manually uninstall from my PC. There are many other screen mirroring apps out there that all do the same thing and the "pro" versions costs way less than this one. Yikes!!!

I can finally give this app a five-star rating. I was within two days of my one-year subscription ending, and was thinking of canceling out. The reason was that Android USB to Windows flat-out didn't work. The program was good through Wi-Fi, but you didn't have access to your keyboard or mouse. There were pages of users complaining about this with no apparent solutions. And then, just like that, the problem resolved across all of my Android devices. They fixed it. And in HD, no less. Bravo!

Just downloaded and installed software. I could see the phone screen on my PC, but couldn't interact with it. Watermark was mildly annoying. However, the main reason for the 1 start rating is it doesn't list the cost of the software until after you download it. The use case I have for this software is very limited in scope and not worth me signing up to a subscription. If I would have known the cost of this software prior to downloading, I would have skipped looking into this software. However, based on the number of positive reviews, I suspect that this most likely is good software for the people with the appropriate use case.

This app has saved me from touching my phone so many times it is beyond belief. It is a true time saver to have control of my phone on my desk while I am working on other things. Text messages via a website only work so well compared to actually using the native phone app! Only thing I do not like is how warm my screen gets from being on all day but by nature, I don't see a way that my phone could be mirrored without the screen being on.

Freaking hell. The phone streaming works like a charm. I've never seen a streaming app like this (tried them all) with such little lag. Problem is that mouse and keyboard integration don't work for the phone at all. Running it on a Samsung A70. Will revise my rating and buy the app when this works.

It sounded like the dream, but reality set in quickly: it doesn't work, for starters. Connect to same Wi-Fi, restarted both devices, tried using QR code, nada. The awesome ability to send messages from your computer? Behind a premium pay wall. And it won't leave my phone's notification tray. If you're going to be insistently and annoyingly visible, the least you can do is function properly. Uninstalling asap.
