Hey everyone, I’ve been trying to figure out which app I should settle with for screen casting from my phone to my computer. I’ve been checking out both DoCast and AirDroid Cast, and while they seem to offer similar things—like casting screen, audio sharing, maybe some remote control functions—I still don’t quite get which one works better in real life situations. I mainly want to use it for showing presentations during Zoom calls, some media streaming, and occasionally mirroring my phone screen when testing apps I’m developing. I don’t need it daily, but when I do, it has to work smoothly without endless setups. Has anyone here tried both? Curious to hear how they actually perform when it’s not just about the feature list.

Wow we're geeting to DoCast vs AirDroid Cast rabbit hole. From my experience, one of them is more direct and minimalist—like, it gets you into casting mode almost instantly, no big menus or extras to configure. The other has more of a “suite” feeling with lots of small tools built in, which is nice if you want to control your phone from your PC or share files too, but it does feel a bit heavier. Personally, for just getting my screen on the laptop and going live during meetings, the lighter option felt more reliable. Also, in terms of delay or lag, I didn’t notice much difference unless the WiFi was sketchy. But I had fewer disconnects with the one that didn’t try to do everything at once. If you just want to cast and move on, go for simplicity.
Interesting take. I actually lean the opposite way. I like having those extra options bundled in, even if I don’t use them every day. To me, it’s not just about mirroring the screen—it’s about having more control when I need it. Like, sometimes I’m at a cafe or using public WiFi, and I need to type something on my phone quickly, and it’s just easier doing it from my computer. The platform that offers that extra layer of interaction feels more robust in those moments. That said, yeah, it’s true that it takes a bit longer to set up the first time. But after that, it runs just fine. I also noticed one of them seems to be more stable when switching between mobile data and WiFi, which is kind of useful if you’re not always on a perfect connection.
