Screen Mirroring App: Smart TV Negative Reviews
Total disappointmentI recently downloaded it hoping it would make it easy to mirror my iPhone screen to my TV, but it was a complete letdown. Right from the start, the app didn’t work as promised. Despite being on the same Wi-Fi network, it failed to connect to my TV, and the troubleshooting steps didn’t help at all.
What’s worse is that the app pushes you to subscribe almost immediately, even before you can test if it actually works. I tried using the trial, but the app kept crashing, and the audio didn’t sync properly when it did manage to connect briefly. The video quality was also terrible—it looked pixelated and laggy, making it impossible to watch anything.
Overall, this app feels like a scam. It doesn’t deliver on its basic functionality, and the subscription model is way too aggressive for something that doesn’t even work properly. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this app. I’m extremely disappointed and will be looking for a better alternative..JustHelenMVersion: 1.10.0
SCAM DO NOT “GET”I tried this app because i wanted to cast specific things from my phone to my tv and this app was completely useless. It would “connect” to the tv but the screen would be black. I did the free trail and cancelled but was still forced to pay a monthly subscription. I cancelled at the beginning of September and was billed for a week in late September. I was forced to pay for a app i only used once. I say forced because apple would not allow me to download any other apps until this subscription was paid for as it was “past due”. Mind you i cancelled this service in early September and had received a refund from apple as i never used the app but in late September this app charged me again! DO NOT BUY this app or even download it. It’s not worth the headache and they will charge you even if you cancel your subscription..RiskyAngel420Version: 1.8.0
Complete review for those who are considering:Before downloading the app, I scrolled through some reviews as I was very skeptic about the whole thing. I scrolled one stars and five stars as well is mid-ratings respectively and found it quite a scam.
The one stars seemed fairly genuine talking about issues with lag and screen casting ability in general. There was one that even exposed a so called scam interface that the app uses which was replied by the app with a 3-day free trial offer that is already offered in the app itself…
The five stars sounded very scam-generated. They were all-praising of the app and very positive, talking about complete opposite details that the one stars talked about (“no lag! Runs smoothly! Connected instantly! Perfect app!”). Those were also replied to by the app with terrible poems and cheesy “we love you so much!”s with lots of emojis.
These made me chuckle to myself and even more skeptic of the app.
So I downloaded it just to test it, and the first thing it does is tell you about how great the app is while offering different payment options (as well as the three-day free trial) without even giving you access to the app itself.
Complete waste of time. Complete scam. Don’t download it..Lunatic PieVersion: 1.4.0
Free trial??I downloaded this app for the free trial to see if it would work on my device using Bluetooth. It does not work without Wi-Fi. I cannot cancel this subscription anywhere within the app. I sent several emails saying I want to cancel the subscription. The app said that you can cancel anytime. Additionally, it said that you have a three day free trial. I knew this app would not do what I needed within 10 minutes. My major issue is that there is nowhere within the app to cancel the subscription. At this point, I have not received any email response. I’m not sure if that is how they expect one to cancel the subscription. This app may be very good at what it does however, it doesn’t do what I need. It does feel like a scam however, I’m not sure. I will update this as soon as I get a response..Coach G.Version: 1.5.0
Does not do what the App claims, and would not give a refund!The App has a 3-days free trial, but somewhat it tricked me to do a yearly subscription. It connected to my TV but could not do screen mirroring. I was able to use the App as a remote control, but that is not why I bought it. Contacted Apple the next day and explained why I am requesting a refund, but they denied it. I guess they get a share from the purchase! Never buying Apple apps again without using the free trial.
I contacted support and they gave me instructions that I already was following from the App directions. Contacted support again that I tried these instructions with no luck, but they responded with the same generic instructions. They apologized they can’t do a refund because that is handled by Apple.
Don’t waste your time and money on this App!.Ffaraj24Version: 1.10.0
This app trick me to pay - scam alert!I intended to do the free trial and ended up paying the yearly fee. Apple app store also failed to help. This is fraudulent advertising. UPDATE: The developer said that not all subscription plan have free trials report. This is psychological tricks used by scammers to make you think that you have to pay when you fall into their trap. Why didnt they say it clearly that I have to subscribe the weekly plan to get free trial? Why free trials only come with the more expensive weekly plan? They bank on the fact that many people will chose yearly subscription to steal their money. And they also bank on the fact that 33$ is a small amount of money and people wont make a big deal about it. These are all scamming tactics..Vicent666Version: 1.10.0
Not workingGot the app to watch a volleyball game as we always do and it won’t pick up the video. We have use screen monitoring for months now and our other monitoring app expired so we thought we would try this one. Clicked on the tv, we have Google TV, as we only have one and the picture of the app shows up then nothing. We have watch over 12 games with screen monitoring from the other app and never had a problem. So we paid for this and it’s not working. I cancelled it but that doesn’t get our money back. Not happy but we did find the game on the iPhone but too small to see what’s really going on..DdhafeVersion: 1.8.0
Why do I have to pay for an extra service in a tv I purchasedI love my tv and it’s wonderful but to utilize screen sharing through a subscription app is absurd I spent good money for the hardware, it’s on the tv obviously I shouldn’t have to pay more at least offer a free version with like limited time or something no way I would buy for the price based off initial purchase the depreciation doesn’t make me want to pay more rather look for one that doesn’t have an app associated.MrDudeGuyTheOneVersion: 1.5.0
Very glitchy, slow for a paid app , and can’t even rotate my phone to show full screenI got the app just today starting off it took a while to get the app downloaded onto the tv as for some reason it couldn’t find it. Once I got the app it took about 10 minutes for the phone and app to sync up only for the app not to work good and be about 15-20 seconds late on what I’m actually showing with no audio whatsoever I feel the free trail isn’t even worth it.Osito205Version: 1.8.0
LagsI got the app so that I could cast my phone screen to the Samsung tv. It works but lags almost a whole minute behind, kind of pointless to pay a whole subscription if it barely works. I don’t mind subscriptions but if it’s going to be that far behind I really don’t see the point in it. The tv and phone are both new, my WiFi is extremely fast, I made sure to run multiple tests on it. Not sure what the problem with the app is..KitKatAhulaniVersion: 1.7.0
Absolute scam do not buy!!!This app is absolutely horrible. It does not work like they said it does. I tried to cancel my subscription after only about one hour of trying to get this thing to work. once I finally got it to work it made the image on my TV about 40 times too small. What an absolute joke of an app. They didn't even refund me even though I only tried to use it for an hour and then canceled it so $30 down the drain!.AU-BENVersion: 1.11.0
HORRIBLE APP!Paid for a subscription, but, this app only seems to want to work, when it ‘feels’ like it.
Hence, though I’ve had the app for months, I’ve only been able to successfully make use of it, about 15, or so, individual times.
Now, it doesn’t function at all—regardless of all the ‘tricks’ I’ve utilized to get it working, again.
Finally, I just had to cancel the app. Now, I’m out all the money for this subscription I’d paid for.
DO NOT PURCHASE!.19hMB98Version: 1.15
Scammers ZERO starsI signed up for a three day free trial with annual subscription to start thereafter. the app didn’t work so I went to cancel the free trial on the same day. Only to find that I was charged for the full subscription immediately upon registering. It’s extremely conniving that the toggle switch for “free 3 day trial” disappears after you select the option for proceeding with an annual subscription thereafter. It’s an intentionally deceitful strategy to scam people out of their money. So just Beware..Screen mirroring appVersion: 1.10.0
NOT THE OFFICIAL STAYCONNECT APP!Note: this is not the official STAYCONNECT app. I’ll also add that this app accomplishes “screen mirroring” by recording the screen and forwarding the recording as a stream to the tv. Which is fine except many video apps such as Netflix block its screen content to be recorded for copyright reasons so they WILL NOT WORK with this app. This is a technical design issue with this app and not an issue of wifi or weak network etc.
Not worth the forced subscription upfront in my opinion..Miken123Version: 1.15
Trash !!scam!!1 star is to many should have a negative stars for this trash app that doesn’t work but I click the free trial confirm by click my side button only to find out I’ve been charged $6.99 were I had click the free trial now I have to argue fight pull up all kinds of documents just for 6.99 to be return to me because there garbage didn’t give me the free trial then I would have known it doesn’t even work.WowallthenamesaretakenVersion: 1.5.0
App dose not workI download the app in hopes I’d be able to share my photos with my family after 20 minutes of trying and subscribing to the membership it couldn’t find my tv when everything was working. It kept giving me two random tv options that were not in my household . If I could give 0 stars I would. I want my 7$ back from this app. This is ridiculous..DC778!Version: 1.9.0
ScammedApp flat out doesn’t work, app crashes, I tried canceling the subscription and that crashed. I ended up losing about 40 bucks before i even noticed that out of the 7 times i tried to cancel the subscription, none of them worked. Genuinely if you want to cast to your Hisense tv, find another way. I’m genuinely very doubtful that Hisense actually made this app, it’s incredibly scammy.Mr Yee HawVersion: 1.14
Scam AppComplete waste of time if you ask me. It’s kinda stupid how i have to pay $6 (even with the free trial) just use the app in general, the second you open the app it asks you to pay or try the 3 day trial. All these 5 star reviews are fake and made my bots or the company itself, don’t fall for it. This app is a scam for money. (they also use the same stupid reply for every 1 star review).FroggybiscuitsVersion: 1.8.0
ComplicatedI purchased my first iPhone 15 and received a free 3 months subscription. I’ve applied all apps and follow instructions 4 times without success to streaming to my Samsung Smart Television. I start over and over and understand the instructions completely. I find find that at this point I am wasting my time..Jodie WilliamsVersion: 1.4.0
GreedyI downloaded this app to try and screen mirror some shows from my phone and it’s locked behind a paywall I am very against this type of greed I’m not willing to pay for something that should be free. Please work on your greediness and offer something free to those who don’t either want to pay or can’t because of financial hardships..I loke trainsVersion: 1.7.0
Doesn't work and won't refundThe app is unable to connect to any device on the network. It’s not even able to search it. I’m surprised that Apple Store allowed an app of the poor quality on their App Store. The app company won’t return my money even though I have not been able to use the app once..Sp%}*+]Version: 1.10.0
Scam software, doesn’t workEdit: developer likes exploitative practice in iOS ecosystem because they profit from it. Very nice.
I accidentally subscribed as I’m sure the developer intended by putting a subscription pop up immediately after the install permissions pop up. This developer knows what everyone wants to happen to them in a dark alley..BigggmoustacheVersion: 1.4.0
TrashThe app crashes, audio doesn’t work, and a doesn’t rotate to a horizontal orientation. I understand this is third party, but at least put out a quality product; especially if you have the balls to charge people $7 a week for it. The only saving grace that possibly earns them a star is the three-day trial period..I❤️transylvaniaVersion: 1.10.0
Apple TVI would like to watch what I purchased already on my Samsung TV, but it seems that is so hard to just do that. I don’t want to pay for a monthly subscription. I’ve already paid for the purchases on the Apple TV. I should be able to watch them without paying again to watch them.Lady8xVersion: 1.7.0
Terrible ScamYou have been charging me twice for the same app for a few weeks the one that’s supposed to renew October 27 I would appreciate if you would remove it from my account….

Will not refund, don’t download this appI downloaded the app and it didn’t work with my iPhone, 10 minutes after paying and realizing that will not work I requested a refund, they say that my subscription is not elegible for a refund, not even if I prove them that the app didn’t work. Worst service ever!.Starmy89Version: 1.4.0
Not compatible too difficult to useThis app was kind of difficult to use. I was in a hotel. It wasn’t compatible with the television or the network. I did all the instructions follow through cut off cut on. It still wouldn’t compare with compatibility so got to let it go..ApollososwalVersion: 1.15
BenThis application is a classic example of bait and switch. All screens lead to a subscription page.
Using an iPhone with the normal delete application process this application displays a menu of help us what went wrong, and then launches a window to subscribe
I had to Google how to get rid of an application on an iPhone that’s not behaving normally
I would not buy this app.
I’d love to file a lawsuit against them, but it’s just not worth the time.
If others are interested in filing a class action suit, I am more than willing to purchase participate..Dem6879Version: 1.15
