Hi, Can I mirror my iPhone/iPad (using iOS 7) screen with this device to a HD TV? And can it stream apps (Like WhatsApp or Candy Crush or Safari) ?

Can only use airplay. Video is hit or miss (device shows up as audio only most of the time) using iOS 7. Works fine with iOS 6 or android

You can view your Screen image of what ever you are watching on apple device. Except for any software that is used for movies. You can not watch hulu, netflix, or cable media. So when you ask if you can view your IOS, I am assuming you meant, can you view what you are watching on your apple devise on your computer.

I have iPad2, and mirroring only works for video, but it does not have audio. I have tried many times, including restarting the iPad. Nothing worked. I was told that I need to get a separate audio cable to get sound. I'm sorry, I don't think my answer is helpful.

I got it to work with my iPad, which was iOS5 until yesterday. Haven't tried it with iOS6. Note: older, cheaper TVs with HDMI inputs may struggle to connect, newer ones seem to work fine. Not sure why.

I have both a Roku HD and an Apple TV (on different sets). At the moment, I like both pretty much equally, but for different reasons. The biggest differences: Roku has more "channels" (content sources) than the Apple, and some pretty dedicated people both within and outside the company for developing more. Apple TV has the ability to stream content from iTunes on my computer, and audio from my iPod touch. The big question right now is whether or not Apple will develop more channels and/or allow 3rd parties develop their own. If they do both -- and it's likely they will-- I think the Apple has a lot more potential than the Roku because of the excellent hardware inside the box. The ATV has an A4 processor like an iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and 8gb of storage... I'm sure there's some amazing things that can be done with that. If development is opened to third parties, there's going to be a flood of apps. As much as I root for small companies against the giants, Apple is... well, Apple. I'm pretty certain it's the last company in the world Roku would choose to compete against. 720p vs. 1080p? I'll say this straight out: no one is ever going to come to your house for movie night and say, "I'm sorry, but your 720p picture is just unwatchable. I have to leave." It's one of the least interesting numbers when it comes to picture quality.

it only mirrors what is on the iPad or iPhone and will correctly display video to the correct aspect ratio of your television like from hulu for example. it cannot be used as a 2nd screen or extention of your iDevice if that's what you are asking.

I can replay video on my ipad. It appears as though I can also play back from my iPhone, however since the screen is so small I've never tried.

It brought up the iPad screen yes. But the reason I got it was to watch HBO Go and it wouldnt work with that. If I tried to watch any type of video it wouldnt work. I wouldnt buy it if I was you. We spent the extra money and got an apple TV and it is well worth the price, works great. You can find them for cheaper on eBay if you are interested. Hope this helps!

Hi Rob, no this is specific to android. It does not work with iDevices. You need Apple TV

Works fine with Ipad but only certain apps can be mirrored on tv per the restrictions the companies have put on their apps. We mirror the Netflix app all the time and it works great. As for other brands, I am not certain. The manual states for ipod/iphones/ipad. So I would think it would only be for Apple products.

No. They can not. As an FYI - this device is not an "authorized" apple device. Trying to play a movie on my iPad to a TV via HDMI is a hit and miss. Mostly miss as i will receive an error indicating unauthorized device. For me it was a bad purchase.

It should work but youre really limited on what apps you can use for it. For my iphone it only worked for HBO go. I actually recommend for you to get an HDMI cable adapter for Apple products. It costs as much as the USB cable. With it you'll be able to see everything you see on your iPad on your TV, you can play apps on your TV.

I unfortunately haven't tried that device as of yet. Only iPods and iPhones and they work fine. Usually that means it syncs with the iPad like certain types of the original Apple cable. At the same time I understand the concern without the device being in the description. Keep searching the pages until you see that in the description. There are all in one cables with the original cable at least and at the same cost.

It worked for us! My advice is still to buy an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to connect it to your TV - the adapters haven't lasted long for me so it was cheaper in the long run to buy the little box and set it up - you can use the Bluetooth to mirror your ipad or iphone onto the TV if you want to use an app that isn't already pre-programmed into Apple TV

It can display everything on your cell phone screen onto your TV. I bought it on-line because it's cheaper than that of APPLE store. But it didn't work well with iPad for the copyright problem. So if you are not concerned with money, I recommend you to buy one from nearby APPLE store. By the way, the new iPhone and iPad use new interface.

From my understanding you can hook up a Roku directly. I have Apple TV so not sure about the iPad.
