"Go wireless in a tap — everything right on screen."
5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

With Reflector, I easily mirror my phone, tablet, or computer to any nearby screen without cables. Setup takes less than a minute. I can record sessions or capture instant screenshots, and adjusting the output resolution—even in high definition—lets me adapt seamlessly to different projectors.

"Useful for debugging/reviewing current and lost code"
5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

A key feature of .NET Reflector is its ability to decompile compiled .NET assemblies into their original C# or Visual Basic source code. This feature makes it easy for a developer to understand how the code works and to learn from other developers' code.

I have used this to rewrite applications written by developers who no longer work at our institution where the source code is lost or unable to be located.

Licensing is a one-time payment for any particular version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

I only use this from time to time, so I haven't come across anything I dislike about the product. It does what it is intended to do.

I would like to see the licensing cost carry forward to possibly one or two version updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, works as intended, great multi-platform solution"
5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

The software is extremely easy to use. The interface is simple and relatively intuitive. It takes just a few seconds to mirror my iOS screen to my Macbook and Windows PC in my office. It also comes with security measures to prevent unauthorized access with verification codes that need to be synced between computer and mobile device. Works with various connection protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and plain, old data cable. Multi-platform support namely Mac OS, Windows, Android and iOS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

When mirrored to a computer, I can only perform any operations on the phone screen. There is no option to control the mobile phone operation by using a computer mouse and/or the keyboard. I feel that sometimes this extra ability can be handy when it is inconvenient for me to access my phone during a presentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Application to share your mobile device on a computer screen"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

The app is fairly easy to use to share your mobile phone on a computer screen for a product demo. The app does not require a cable connection, only that you are on the same wifi network as your second device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

The app does not allow you to prep / set up a phone share prior to the exact moment it's needed. Even if you have two monitors and set up reflector in advance, you have to maintain the connection. It can also be glitchy and does not always connect as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Carle Hafer of Reflector

Thank you for your review of Reflector! We're happy to hear the product is easy to use and is worthwhile in your work.

If you haven't already, we recommend trying out the Connect and Hide feature on Reflector - this will allow you to mirror your screen without it showing up. You are then able to select when you're ready to show your screen.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns about the product. Again, thank you for your feedback and for your support!

"Easiest way to (Apple) Airplay/ (Android) cast to screenshare your device to your computer"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

I like best its simplicity. It's an airplay-and-go experience, I use it a lot for screen sharing when I also need to show my code, and I need to show both screens simultaneously: My desktop and mobile screen. I do not need to connect any extra cables or open any QuickTime application for iOS or other fancy castings for Android applications. This has support for both platforms. One other thing I like a lot is how easy it is to make screen recordings, and not just that, also the Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

Something Reflector has done better in version4 that failed to achieve in the previous version is how it renders colors; light grey shades and pretty much all close-to-white colors were not fully visible. That along caused a problem when trying to showcase design implementations. Now with Reflector4 way to display colors is much closer to the actual colors but still far from the same shades of the real color. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Emily Carle Hafer of Reflector

Thank you for your review, Mario! We appreciate your feedback. It sounds like you've had a good experience with Reflector 4 and we hope we can continue to provide a quality product for you and your work as a developer. Thank you again for your support! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our products.

"Perfect Screen Mirroring Software"
4/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

I liked the phone outlook options. The user interface of this software looks really catchy and easy to use. You can see an actual mobile interface on the screen, while the counterparts lack this feature, for example, Airserver. Another reason to buy a reflector is that it is cost-effective compared to other products in the market. It costs me $30 while others were in the $40 range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

The only thing that I disliked is that it doesn't offer an app to connect with it. You can use the default Airplay for Apple users or Google cast or Miracast for Android users but no app belongs to Reflector. Although I found an app named student reflector on the Apple store, it asked me to buy it before downloading, not sure if that is the correct app to pair with the software. While the counterparts like Airserver have an app called Connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best mobile device mirroring software"
5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

Reflector is easy to use and allows you to mirror both iOS and Android devices well, which in my experience is a rare attribute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

Honestly, Reflector 2 had some issues and would close unexpectedly at times, but I have never had issues with Reflector 3. It is not a complex solution but that is one of the big things I appreciate about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reflector 3 for Mac Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Reflector?

Reflector 3 is an easy tool that effortlessly mirrors your iPad or iPhone to your mac computer. It solves the problem of wanting to show what an application looks like on your iPad while sharing your screen to your MacBook. Simply open Reflector 3 on your computer and press mirror screen on your device. I can mirror my Android tablet to my MacBook as well so it can be used cross device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Reflector?

Every so often it takes a while to actually connect your iOS device to the computer where the option to mirror doesn't show up right away. I can't use the application to mirror my Surface Pro to my MacBook. It allows me to mirror my iOS devices and Android devices but not my Surface Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
