AirScreen enables your device to receive screen mirroring, photos, music, videos, and various other media from a range of devices—including phones, tablets, and laptops, using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. These features allow you to enjoy the pleasure of sharing almost anything with your loved ones or with an audience on a
larger screen
.
View anything from your device on a large screen
With AirScreen, you can enjoy a slew of useful viewing features, such as a
convenient setup process
where the app only needs to be installed on the receiving devices, such as your mobile device or tablet for you to use it. It also has screen recording capabilities and protects your privacy by using encrypted data transfer. The
intuitive user interface
comes as a bonus.
The app also has several advantages over similar apps, such as
video hardware acceleration
that improves video playback by up to 40% or more,
Ultra High-Definition
resolution (4K), and
Background Service Mode
. You can also personalize each device with different names for easier identification. Although not all features are fully supported yet on all devices, the app is being updated frequently to expand its compatibility.
One thing that users might face a setback with is that the app
isn't able
to bypass copyright restrictions despite being lawfully allowed, such as some streaming services where users can only see a black or gray screen when the media is playing. This puts the app at a disadvantage toward other competitor titles such as
Google Home
,
AirDroid Cast
, and
ApowerMirror
.
A versatile way to cast with some caveats
AirScreen offers various viewing features, such as screen recording and encrypted data transfer to ensure privacy. Additionally, the app has video hardware acceleration for better playback, Ultra HD (4K) support, Background Service Mode, and device personalization. However, it may not bypass copyright restrictions, resulting in a black or gray screen on some streaming services. While the app is frequently updated,
compatibility issues
may still occur.
