FAQ

Q: Do these apps require the same Wi-Fi network?

A: Yes — both phone and receiving device must be on the same local network (same SSID) for discovery and casting to work reliably.

Q: Which app is best for iPhone to Android TV casting?

A: AirScreen is ideal because it supports AirPlay and acts as a universal receiver for iOS devices.

Q: What if video plays audio only?

A: The TV may not support the video’s codec. Try screen mirroring mode, switch receiver type, or use a different app that handles software decoding.

Q: Can I cast DRM-protected content?

A: Most DRM content requires licensed playback and often cannot be cast via third-party casting apps; use the official app with native casting support.

Conclusion

Each casting app targets a slightly different need: Web Video Cast for web sources, LocalCast for local/cloud files, AirScreen for cross-platform receiving (including iOS), Castify for broad device support, and Screen Mirroring Pro for full display mirroring. Test the apps with your devices to determine which fits best for daily use.
