BEST ANDROID MIRROR CAST APPS

How We Got Our Start

Imagine projecting everything that goes on your smartphone screen to bigger television one, this is exactly what the best android mirror cast apps do. They take whatever is happening on your small smartphone screen and projected to a bigger display. It is one of the best ways to enjoy content that is already on your smartphone but on a bigger screen.

There are number of things you can do with the best android mirror cast apps and all of them are quite exciting. From being a true adult and presenting slideshows at an office meeting to showing off funny pictures you took of your dog to your friends and family, everything can be done if you have the right app and equipment. It is a wonderful technology that is built into android and is truly flexible when it comes to compatibility.

Writer’s Note: A huge point to be noted here is that while many TVs do come with built-in mirror cast technology, many are still way behind the curve. If you have an older TV, you’ll need to have an external mirror cast enabled device. Thankfully, there are some really inexpensive offerings available online that you can purchase and simply insert into the HDMI port of your TV. Google’s Chromecast is also an excellent option and we highly recommend that you invest in one. Another point to be noted here is that the external mirror cast devices will plug into the HDMI port of your TV, if your TV doesn’t come with an HDMI port, you’re out of luck. And honestly, we think it’s high time that you upgrade your television to something a little bit more modern.

We have extensively discussed how and what mirror cast does. Of course, if you’re already here, you know what it is capable of so let’s start talking about the apps that will help you project your smartphone images to a bigger screen. The apps are not in any particular order simply because they may or may not work for your particular smartphone or external mirror casting device, hopefully that won’t be the case but be ready to mix and match a little bit.

AllCast

AllCast is one of the most popular mirror casting apps for android simply because it is compatible with a vast number of different devices. From Chromecast to Amazon FireTV and from Apple TV to Roku, it is capable of delivering images and videos from your smartphone to a bigger screen without any problems. It is without a doubt one of the easiest ways to get your photos and videos on your TV without any additional steps. All you need to do is make sure your smartphone allows mirror casting, select the device that you need to connect to and that’s about it. However, this is a demo version that only allows you to view 5 minutes of footage on the big screen. You’ll need to upgrade to the premium version in order to remove the viewing limit. Thankfully, if the app works perfectly for you, it would make perfect sense to get the premium version to easily enjoy a quality service.

LocalCast for Chromecast

If you already have a Chromecast attached to your TV, then the LocalCast for Chromecast is one of the most essential apps that you should get. While the initially thought that it is only compatible with Chromecast, we were pleasantly surprised to see it support a number of different smart TVs, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku and even Nexus Player. It would truly benefit the app if they remove “for Chromecast” from the name. However, there are certain features that are exclusive to Chromecast so we cannot blame the developers completely for the name. For example, the zoom, pan and rotate features only worked with Chromecast. Subtitles also work with Chromecast and Apple TV 4 with Opensubtitles.org integration. There are a number of features that facilitate you watching movies over this app and subtitle support is one of them.
