Our Mission
We don’t just review apps. We test them.
We don’t just review apps. We test them.
We don’t just review apps. We test them.
Most screen mirroring guides tell you which button to press. We measure why it works — or doesn't. Every app is downloaded, installed, and tested on real devices in our lab.

Why We Exist
Small differences, real consequences
Screen mirroring is a category where small technical differences matter. 50ms of latency is the difference between playable and unplayable. One dropped frame in a presentation looks unprofessional. That's what we test — same apps, same scenarios, same devices, with numbers you can check.

Our Methodology
Every score traces back to a test
Every score in our reviews traces back to a documented test. The device list, testing dimensions, and procedures are all laid out on this page — no separate methodology doc to hunt for. If we change a test, we update it here. You can trace any rating back to the test that produced it.
