I have been looking for an airplay receiving app for months now and finally I've found the (almost perfect) app. This app works perfectly even if both devices are connected wirelessly. The only thing it lacks is "HOTSPOT MODE". I tried using the android as hotspot but failed. It works with the iphone as hotspot tho which is fine. But having the android as hotspot and airplay through it would be PERFECT. The cover art viewer is amazing as well! (I use it mainly for Apple Music streaming) 10/10 will buy! 😀👍

The problem here u can only cast video from YouTube with disconnection problems every 2 minutes and not from Google online like web video cast or tubio app. Both this two are perfect. I bought this app also and I feel sorry for that

I had high hopes thinking that this would work as seamlessly as the air video worked with my previous iphone. Unfortunately all apps aren't built the same.

Does what I need it to do, without having to spend an arm and a leg. Anyone complaining about the time limits don't know how to spend a measly dollar to get a quality product.

Works easy and well for my purpose: Streaming music from a PC (through iTunes) to my HiFi system, using a tablet as AirPlay receiver. Very estable and good sound. Reliability of the app is better than similar apps, but also depends on your WiFi network quality. Nice feature showing artwork, title, and so on in the tablet. But missing an indication at android task bar that Airplay service is on/off (as in similar apps), as it very much drains battery (as other apps) (if added in next version I will give 5 stars). Worth 1$ for no adds,
