Pros

  • Free to download and use
  • No ads or in-app purchases
  • Allows streaming and DLNA to share files with your TV

Cons

  • Some problems with the interface, such as a lack of preview images for each file and difficulty changing settings without opening up that specific file in another app first.

The Send Files to TV app is a free Android application that lets you share files between your phone and the TV. You can do this by using either of two methods: streaming or DLNA. Streaming will send the file to your home network, sending it through Wi-Fi directly to your TV. DLNA works by connecting devices on the same network, so they can view the shared media. The Send Files To TV app has many features, but there are some drawbacks as well.

Interface:

The interface is clear and straightforward, allowing users to find what they need easily. However, it lacks some polish that other apps have. For example, tapping the button on an item will not always bring up a menu for changing its settings or sharing it with others. Instead, you'll sometimes open the file in your associated app instead of opening up a menu.

File Handling:

File handling on the Send Files To TV app is pretty good, although there are some problems with it. If you find a file in your library that isn't supported by this app (such as an unsupported video format), the only option available to you will be saving it locally or sharing it out. This means the app isn't handy if you want just to play files that are already on your phone.

Graphics:

There are a few issues with the graphics of this app. For example, when you select an item from your library list, it will show up in a plain list with no thumbnail or preview image to help identify it. This means that unless you know what file type each one is, they all look exactly the same and can be difficult to differentiate.

Price:

This app is free to download and use. There are no ads or in-app purchases either, so you can enjoy the essential functions without worrying about being bombarded with advertisements or requests for money at any time. This also means that there aren't a lot of features available on this app since they would have to be developed by the developers and added in as a new feature.

Users Experience:

Overall, this app has a lot of potentials and could be great with some small changes. Most users find that streaming works pretty well as long as you don't have too many files in your library or on the network already. DLNA can take a while to load media since it's waiting for all connected devices to show up first. Also, it would be nice to see an improved interface with preview images for each file and the ability to send files without opening them in another app first.
