More than scammy
I rarely ever write bad reviews. Most of my reviews are bc I like the product or at least the idea, even if a product is not refined, yet. However, I do not like to be scammed. I do not like dishonesty. The sole purpose of this app is that you as the gullible customer press the “Buy” button. This app has not trial or freemium option. Once you open it for the first time you immediately get presented with an offer that you fell you cannot miss out: all the options for a third of the price of about $20. In this moment, you do not even know what these options are. I clicked buy, $7 bucks, bc who does not want to safe 60%. Once you look at the in-app options, they are all nano-features that normally would be required to make the app work for its intended purpose of mirroring your screen. This is not the question of a Basic vs Pro version. You need ALL of these in-app purchases to make the app useful. Ok fine, I got tricked into a purchase without actually trying it out. But then at least the app works, right? Wrong! Even after buying the bundle you are welcomed with a cluttered user interface that looks like a middle schooler on a summer camp threw it together that is nothing but intuitive - just to be redirected to more apps to purchase just to make it work. The whole point of this app is to mirror something from your device to a TV, in this case a Sony. A very simple product definition. There is no need for micro in-app purchases - either you can mirror your screen, or you cannot. Period! No user wants a products that only sometimes works under undefined conditions. And even in this one simple function the app fails. This app exists in a gazillion confusing (on purpose I allege) versions, this particular one is advertised for Sony, but it does not even function here. Perhaps Sony uses more than one format (in my case Miracast), perhaps the app does not work at all. In any case, it nowhere tells you in the app description that it only works for SOME Sony TV and under WHICH conditions. Again, it misleads the user into buying in the assumption that the app works on ALL Sony TV. Wouldn’t you assume the same if you bought something specially advertised for “Sony”? I am a technologist, my background is productizing technology ideas and deliver solutions. I live and breath software (and hardware). I am not just a disgruntled customer who cannot figure out how a complex app works, but I seriously feel scammed. This is messed up, and even worse - you cannot ge
