I’ve been trying to stream from my iPhone to my TV and came across two apps—DoCast and Mirror. They both claim to support Chromecast, but the setup and interface seem pretty different. I don’t need anything overly complicated, but I do want decent quality and minimal delay. I'm mostly using it for casting short videos and sometimes mirroring the screen for slideshows or browser content. Have any of you actually tried both? I'm curious if there's a real difference in how they handle things like buffering, sync with audio, or stability over longer sessions. I'm leaning toward one of them but still unsure which will be more consistent in daily use.

I’ve bounced between these two DoCast vs Mirror for Chromecast for about a month now—mostly because I couldn’t figure out which one fit into my routine better. I usually mirror workouts or tutorial videos, and my focus is always on whether there’s a delay or if things randomly disconnect mid-session. I did run into occasional lag with both, depending on what else was going on in my home network, but one app handled recovery better. Like if the Wi-Fi hiccupped, one would just freeze up, while the other would try to resume without needing to restart everything. That kind of resilience matters a lot to me, especially when I'm halfway through following a tutorial and can't just stop to troubleshoot. They’re not wildly different in performance, but those little behavior quirks are where it gets noticeable.
Yeah, I’ve been in a similar boat. I actually tried both apps over the past couple of weeks while working on a presentation and streaming some older family videos. What I noticed is that even though both technically work, the user experience isn't quite the same. One of them felt more stripped down—it launches quickly and does the job if you're just trying to cast a video file, no frills. The other had more settings tucked away in menus, and at first, I thought that would be helpful, but it added a weird extra step every time I started a cast. I wouldn’t say either is bad, but they definitely appeal to different types of users. I’d say it comes down to whether you want simplicity or more granular control
