What AirMirror does and who it suits

AirMirror is a receiver app. It turns an Android TV into a display that an iPhone, iPad or Mac can send to over WiFi, so Apple devices can be shown on a television without a separate adapter. The listing presents it for classroom teaching, business presentations, family travel photos, fitness videos, shared games and movie nights.

The app works in two ways. It can mirror the whole screen of an Apple device, or it can cast a single item such as a photo, a web video or a music track. Both start from the Apple device's own sharing menu, not from the TV.

Mirroring a phone or tablet screen to a TV

Full-screen mirroring is the option for slides, multiplayer games and anything else that depends on what is on the phone's display. The listing names presentations during meetings and teaching content as typical uses, and it also mentions mirroring a multiplayer game so that friends can watch it together.

Because the picture comes from the sender, any app open on the Apple device can appear on the TV. The listing describes the result as a shared screen, not a separate app running on the television.

Casting photos, videos and music from Apple devices

Casting sends one file or stream to the TV and leaves the phone free for other use. The listing lists photos, audio, web videos and fitness videos among the things it can send, and it describes streaming iPhone and iPad music to the TV for listening.

Web videos are cast with playback the listing describes as fast and smooth. Music and video from supported sources can also be screen cast, but only where the source allows it, as covered further down.

Setup over the same WiFi and controlling playback

Setup has four steps. Install the receiver on the Android TV, make sure the TV and the Apple device are on the same WiFi network, open the receiver to show the TV's name, then choose that name under Screen Mirroring on the Apple device. The sender app must be on the same network as the TV.

Playback can be controlled on the TV or the receiving device once a stream has started. The listing also says that most connection problems are cleared by restarting the receiver or the Apple device, and that the orientation can be switched between landscape and portrait by the user.

Protected content that will not play

The app cannot cast content that carries digital rights management. The listing names Netflix, paid iTunes videos and paid Google Movies as examples that will not play through it.

Screen casting of streaming media is described as working only where the rights holder allows it. Users who mainly watch subscription video should check that a title can be cast before relying on it for a shared viewing.
