Mirror Overview
What is Mirror? The app allows users to mirror their Mac screen and audio to an Amazon Fire TV, as well as stream individual video files. The app is not suitable for gaming due to a 2-3 second latency. The quality of the experience depends on the quality of the local network, and the app provides tips to enhance the experience. The app works by searching for the Fire TV on the network and offers two options: mirror the Mac screen or play a video file. The app has limitations with HDCP DRM protection for playing iTunes movies. Users can contact support for technical issues and are encouraged to give positive ratings.
1. But definitely not the Windows on 5Ghz and the Fire TV on 2.4Ghz, because that will negatively impact the performance of screen mirroring.
2. First, make sure that your Fire TV is on the same local network and same subnet as your Windows.
3. After launching the app, you will see the app icon appearing in the top bar of your Windows and the app will look for your Fire TV on the network.
4. This includes making timemachine backups over the network and uploading/downloading large files from the internet while screen mirroring.
5. For the best performance, put your Windows and your Fire TV on the same network.
6. Don’t do network intense work while screen mirroring.
7. Application to mirror the screen and audio of your Windows to an Amazon Fire TV.
8. As explained, screen mirroring is network intense.
9. Put your Windows and your Fire TV on the same router channel.
10. You can also stream individual video files from your Windows to your Fire TV.
11. For the best performance, don’t do other network intense work at the same time.

What I needed
After a few mis-steps, I finally got the app to work as described! Really helps me to watch my workout videos on a screen larger than my Windows, and to catch up on missed tv episodes pulled up on my computer. Customer service was quick to respond to my issues of not being able to connect. FYI -if you try the free trial, delete it from your device before installing the full version.
Decent solution for the $
Using it for my PC and so far so good. Not as smooth as just buying an Microsoft tv which is pretty miuch plug and play (you have to download a sound driver for your Windows for this to work), but also not as expansive as an Microsoft TV. Pretty decent solution for $10. Eventually I'll buy an Microsoft TV for the sake of my Microsoft echosystem but I'm also happy to have this option for my firetv.
mirror for Fire TV
When I first installed the app on my fire stick and then installed the app on my Windows, it wouldn’t work. I got on the chat line and they were VERY accommodating. It took awhile before we (they) figured out the problem. They are VERY knowledgable with figuring the diagnostics and got me going. GR8 support from the folks. Am a HAPPY CAMPER now!!
Not sure what to do...
The mirroring works great and the audio worked for me without an extra app or program. The problem that I am having is that I bought this so that I could watch my iTunes videos (movies) that I own and have purchased on my fire TV. But they are in a protected format, so I can’t. I want my money back as this was the sole reason I bought the app…or I want to know what else I can do without spending more money.
Great customer support
I bought the app and had some technical issues with it. I don't usually write reviews but I am making an exception because their customer support is outstanding. They quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue. The reason I'm not giving the app 5 stars is that the screen cast colors aren't ideal. This could be due to my TV and not the app.
