    Worked great! Much easier to plug in my phone than try to connect via Bluetooth and WiFi.

    Mirroring works well on my Samsung TV, clear pics, wether its iPad or iPhone connected via HDMI cable. I was fortunate to get this at a persuasive discount. The purpose was to be able to stream from phone direct and not be limited by data cap for using phone as Hotspot with iPad etc, as most carriers have even with unlimited data plans. I had tried one before and noticed it was dropping the signal often, but it appears this is an updated unit. I use the device extensively (3-5 hours, 4 times a week) and at it has a tendency to get a bit warm, however it continues to function. It also has a lightning cable port for charging while iThingy is being used. My biggest knock: There are no worthy alternatives to rival and the Cost is Ridiculous. $20 would be better, but I am cable free, without 7GB hotspot limit and now a big screen for movies and learning etc.

    I always take this adapter and an HDMI cable with me when I travel with my iPad. I use it watch movies and videos streamed on my iPad on my hotel TV. I’ve had my adaptor for over 5 years now. It still works great. It works with pre-iPhone 15 models too.

    Excellent ; wish I would have purchased sooner. This works exactly as you would hope: you just plug it into your phone, and then plug in an HDMI cable into the end of the dongle. Your iPhone is then displayed on the tv on the other end of the HDMI cable. No setup, nothing. Just switch the tv to the input for the cable, and BOOM: you're able to share pics and videos to everyone in the room, vs. having everyone crowd around your phone or pass it around. I used this extensively at a recent gathering of friends. Other people then hooked up their iPhone to show their pics and videos; it worked great. Highly recommend.

    Works well and does what it is supposed to. Good quality but very overpriced as most Apple branded products are. Even though it's overpriced, I still picked it for the piece of mind that it would work as expected.

    Watch cable tv without a box

    This adapter allows you to watch all video being played on your iPhone or iPad on any tv with a HDMI port. It negates the need to mirror to an Apple TV. However, what really drove me to purchase this adapter was cable tv companies switching to all digital, thereby requiring all TVs to have a cable box. An alternative is to download an app (in my case the Spectrum TV app) to your phone or tablet. This allows you to watch tv on your phone. With this adapter you can now watch live tv on any tv without the need to pay for additional cable boxes. Works great with full HD picture quality.

    Lightning Digital A/V Adapter

    I was looking at options for connecting my iPad to the HDMI port on TVs while staying at a hotel. The Geeks at Best Buy set me up with the Digital A/V Adapter. It plugs into your device and you connect an HDMI cable between the Adapter and the TV. Very simple and it works great. There is also a power port on the Adapter so that you can power/charge the device as needed. Please note that if you do wish to charge your device with the power port on the A/V adapter, you must have your own power supply, and lighting cord. Also, you have to supply the HDMI cable to connect the A/V Adapter to the TV.

    This was a little pricey, but perfect for traveling and also presenting when AirPlay isn’t available. Love that you can still connect a lightning adapter while it’s plugged in too.

    I am very satisfied with my purchase. The quality is great and connects very well with my smart tv. I like that there's two ports one to charge your device/smartphone when connected to a smart tv and a port to connect with the HDMI.

    The Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter allows me to output from my iPad Air (retina mini and mini compatible as well) and iPhone 5s (5, 5c compatible) and my fifth generation iPod touch to my HD display via HDMI. Audio and video are high quality. The setup is dead simple: Plug the HDMI into the adapter, optionally plug a lightning cable into the lightning slot of the adapter and to power, then plug the lightning connector into the iDevice. When you turn the TV on, the contents of your iDevice's display is shown on screen. Certain apps (like Youtube or Netflix) can output full screen while leaving controls on your iDevice's screen. That's it. That is all you do.

    I'm not a techy by any means. This was simple to use. We bought it to watch football on the TV and the stream was crystal clear. Only semi-complaint would be the price. I think Apple over charges for everyrhing.

    We do not have internet so this allows us to connect an hdmi cable to our Apple phones (while charging) to watch our phones on our TV (smart and not) without using a hotspot.

    It works but be aware of rules trying to mirror certain apps to a TV. Some apps somehow recognize the connection and will block it. When it works, it’s excellent. But ease of use for 4 stars because of what I explained above.

    This adapter is amazing at connecting your iphone to the TV. You can also charge at the same time. Ive used it for netflix, youtube, apple movies (on my phone), you can even use it ifyoy want to stream music through your tv speakers from your phone. Full compatibility with netflix, hulu, spotify, youtube, basically any provider. Something to be aware of, however, is it also depends on the software you use. In 2017, Hulu app on my iPhone didnt alow docking to the TV. But after a couple newly released Hulu updates, they included apple tv port capability. Depending on what app or software you use, you may not have support. But those apps I listed have no issue with porting to the TV.
