the Pro version of the Screen Mirror app does not work. Moreover, it interferes with the operation of the free version. I paid $10- for this app. Because I do not use Facebook or Twitter, I cannot even get support. I find all of this very difficult to understand. I go to the App Store everyday hoping to find an update. This situation has persisted for so long that I can only assume that there is a fundamental problem rather than simply a bug. It it worked it would be a great app.

Please advise why the standard broad cast for pro version is only for a minute, also, WHY ADVANCED OPTION ONLY PLAYS OUT SOUND FOR THE VERY FIRST SEC AND GONE??? I have tried all the hdmi ports and all setting possible, I am confident there is nothing wrong with the configuration, there must be something missing with the app!! I’ve dropped email with no reply! If this issue cannot be fixed I demand a refund. This is unacceptable!

Is this app free? What I mean is, it’s available on the App Store for free but I have to pay after 7 days? I did not subscribe to pro version and uses only the free download version. I’m confused with the terms that says free trial after 7 days, after which there’ll be a Monthly subscription fee? Is the fee only for pro version?
