SecondScreen user reviews :

Great App I noticed that the voice and the picture of the video is slightly out of sync. It would be perfect if this could be fixed. If there’s a setting to adjust this, please ket me know. I am running hp touchpad with android 4.4.4. It’s a great app. Thanks.

• Thanks for your review! For the rotation issue, that is something I am aware of and am trying to fix. In the meantime you can manually toggle rotation lock off, rotate the device, then toggle it back on. For the large mouse cursor issue, make sure you turn on your mouse after activating SecondScreen and the cursor will appear at its normal size.

Great Potential Even though this app caused a lot of force closes on my device after changing the resolution (I don’t have an officially supported device, LG G3 ) I’ve seen the potential and what this app can do. Unfortunately I can’t keep it because my device isn’t supported as said in the description but I still give it 5 stars. Great app and great idea.

Works great. I used it it with the cast screen and it fixes the issue perfectly. I haven’t needed to customize the settings much because the presets are perfect for my screens. Got here from reddit just in case that matters. :)
