AirDroid Cast: Wireless Screen Mirroring and Control for Phones, PCs and TVs

AirDroid Cast: Cross-Platform Screen Mirroring and Remote Control
AirDroid Cast is a screen mirroring application that displays Android and iOS device screens on Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web browsers, and Android TV. It also allows remote control of Android and iOS devices from a computer. Casting works over the same or different Wi-Fi networks, as well as over the internet and cellular networks, and the developer describes the connection as low latency.
Key Features
- Connection options: Wireless casting uses a QR code, a 9-digit code, or the AirPlay receiver on iOS. A USB connection is available for casting mobile devices to computers.
- Remote control: Users can operate an iPhone, iPad, or Android device from a PC using a mouse or keyboard, with or without a USB cable. Click, scroll, and typing input are supported.
- Audio: The app shares in-device sound from Android and iOS devices, and two-way audio enables direct speaking and listening between devices.
- Multiple screens: Up to five devices can be mirrored to one computer simultaneously.
- Screen off casting: On Android, the screen can be shared while the device display is off when using a USB connection.
- Android TV: Phone, tablet, or computer screens can be mirrored to smart Android TVs from brands such as Sony, Hisense, TCL, Skyworth, and Philips.
- Session length: Sharing is not subject to a time limit.
Usage and Pricing
The free version provides basic mirroring. Full touch control from a Windows PC or Mac requires an upgrade, which is listed at $3.49 per month. Because the app mirrors the phone's screen, the device screen must remain on during mirroring unless the Android screen-off option is used with a USB connection.
System Requirements
- Windows: Windows 7 or later with 500 MB of free space for screen mirroring. Remote control requires Windows 10 version 1803 or later.
- macOS: macOS 10.11 or later with 500 MB of free space.
- Android: Android 7.0 or later. Android TV casting requires Android 5.0 or later.
- iOS: iOS 11 or later.
- Web: Safari, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Yandex browsers are supported.
