I think the ratings for this unit varies because your experience getting it to work varies with the type of device you're using. In my case I'm using an older Android 7.0 version phone and a current iOS device and in both cases I found that you absolutely needed to download the app to get the EZCast unit to mirror the screen - and the included instructions also directs you to download an app and does not offer any other way to connect to the device without the app. Based on my experience the device did not act as an access point, meaning I was not able to open my mobile devices and just search for a wifi or Bluetooth signal from the 'EZCast' - instead the dongle must connect to a wifi hotspot hosted on your mobile device or through a local wifi hotspot in your home and it uses the app iPazzPortcast to let you enter the credentials for the hotspot that either comes from your phone/tablet or from your home router. The app itself is a bit confusing to use and the included instructions are also hard to follow because it uses terms like 'family wifi' which I assume refers to your local hotspot? Basically you use the app to connect the EZCast to a hotspot, when the dongle connects to the hotspot it reports that it is connected then shows the name of the SSID on which it is connected, your mobile device must be connected to the same hotspot, then you use the mirroring or casting function on the mobile device to send the content from your mobile unit to the dongle+attached display (the name of the dongle is shown on the tv/display so you just look for that name in the list of airplay or casting units available). Once you get past the connection part then I found the device does work - you can share photos, movies from apps that have a function to 'cast' or share their screens to a wireless display. I was not able to show or cast my actual phone's interface to the display so this is a bit different from the mirroring on iOS - only within an app was I able to share the screen. From a computer connected to the same hotspot (and assuming you've used your mobile app to connect the EZCast dongle to the same hotspot) you can screencast from within an app that has a casting function - I haven't figured out how to cast from a browser. Overall I think it's a bit complicated to setup mostly because the instructions are not clear but once you've figured out the set up you can share content from mobile apps to the screen.

Très petit fonctionne bien mais difficile de trouver l’application et quand tu trouves tu as un essaie gratuit ensuite tu dois payer.

mauvais produit,il faut louer la manette a tout les ans a 49.99$, pas recommandé

Great gift idea

This screen cast device did work but it was more complicated to setup than I expected considering it's called an 'EZCast'. The instructions are a bit disjointed so it was hard to tell if the device should be connected via Bluetooth or if it creates a hotspot for connection.

the app needed to configure this device is no longer available in the play store or app store. It gives an option of trying to manually configure by scanning a QR code that tries to take you to a website that no longer exists. I had to return this.
