Pros and cons of AirScreen app

If you are thinking of using Airscreen as your default mirroring app. Then it is best to consider these pros & cons first;

The most significant advantage of using this software is its versatility. For example, you can mirror Android iPhone, iPhone-Android, PC-Mobile, PC-TV, and Mobile-TV. However, it fails to mirror a mobile screen to a PC, which is its greatest disadvantage. Especially for office persons who use mirroring on a daily basis for presentations.

Airscreen does have a UHD resolution capability, but it requires very fast internet, which is not always available. So, at best, it gives a resolution of 720p or less, which can be blurry.

Airscreen does have a paid recording function, which is good for gamers and professionals who want their moments recorded. They will earn later from this. But for students & one-time users, its doesn’t worth paying huge money when there is free recording software out there.

Setting up screen mirroring was never easy, and Airscreen does have a very pictorial representation of every process saved right into the app; a big advantage. However, the Airscreen process of connecting a PC to a mobile is very complex, even for a smart guy.

Unlike other mirroring apps, Airscreen offers the rotation of the screen into landscape & vertical modes, which is very helpful for watching movies in full screen. However, when in full-screen mode, you may face delays & low-quality resolution.

Some cons of AirScreen app

One of the greatest disadvantages is that Airscreen mirroring is only free for 30 minutes a day. Then you have to pay. Besides that, you need to pay for all of their features. So, it is not a very useful app for seasonal users or students (who don’t have much money).

Let’s suppose you want to mirror your screen to a person who is in another city or country; then Airscreen won’t do the work because it only allows works 2 devices connected to the same wifi.

The biggest demerit of Airscreen is that it is not built for gamers. Because, using it, you can’t control a mobile with a keyboard or mouse, which is a function other mirroring apps like FlashGet Cast are offering.
