This app is totally useless on the iPad. When you connect, it makes things too wide or too narrow depending on how you turn the iPad. It is over complicated to connect and un-useable when connected. They used to have another app called ActiveCast that worked very well, but, for some reason, got rid of it and “improved” it with this app. Why did y’all have to mess with a good thing?
Please for the love of all things holy fix the aspect ratio issue. If my iPad is is portrait mode it makes the screen on the promethean board huge and if it’s in landscape mode it makes it tiny. Just fix it so that images and the screen share look good so we can use our iPads effectively in class! Not that difficult!
Does not work with the iPad. When I have my iPad in portrait mode, the screen is stretched out. When I have it in landscape, the screen is squished. Makes it so I cannot cast from my iPad to my screen. Very bummed out!
Just downloaded the app for my iPhone 12. Shows that I’m casting but the board doesn’t see the device so it’s useless. Refreshing the screen share list changes the 6 digit code, so it’s totally a waste.
The app itself is mostly useless. When you do screen share, the image is either too wide or too narrow and there is no fix for this. The promethean panel will ask to scan a QR code using the app but there is no way to do this. There was a way to connect to the promethean boards using just screen mirroring so I don’t even know why this app exists.
