Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Your Viewing Experience with Apple's Lightning to Digital AV Adapter by Bobby Martinez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Criterion and NFL will not work with it at all

I don't usually write reviews but I purchased this product based on the product description and reviews and it does not meet my needs. I don't have internet at home, but I have an iPhone 6s and figured I could stream on an unlimited data plan. I was dying to watch the Criterion channel app on my TV from my phone, and the app mirrored my iPhone perfectly until I clicked play movie. I received a message saying "Mirroring not supported" as shown in the attached screenshot. Then I tried to watch the NFL playoffs through the NFL app (Verizon lets you do that, not sure about other providers). I was able to see my iPhone mirrored on the TV again, but as soon as I pressed the live play button, the TV screen went black and only sound came through. I will say that Disney+ basically worked, but when I tried to fast forward or rewind the timeline, the audio continued but the picture stopped. I kept having to restart the app, unplug the HDMI cable, restart the app to get where I was, and then plug it back in. Once I just tried to watch an episode on The Mandalorian without skipping it and it STILL froze after about 15-20 minutes and had to restart. For the price it is totally unacceptable that 2 out of 3 apps were completely unusable and the third only partially worked. I'm confused by all these reviews that it works for them. Maybe it works for netflix or hulu but it doesn't work for my criterion or nfl apps.

Pros
  • Simply plug the Lightning Digital AV Adapter into your device's Lightning port and then to your TV or projector with an HDMI cable (sold separately).
Cons
  • Big and chunky
