Crestron AirMedia for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn't even openAbsolute garbage. I have the newest iPhone and OS and it doesn't work. It shows just a black screen. If I could rate zero stars I would..Version: 1.1.5
✓ UselessDoesn't work at all - just a black screen when you load the app! Totally useless needs fixing !.Version: 1.1.5
✓ Needs lots of improvementWe would consider purchasing more AirMedia devices for our other projectors if this app would be updated and have some additional functionality. One thing right off the bat that should be an easy improvement would be that when you click on Photos in the iOS app, you could select an album. I would like to have a bunch of photos in an album titled Presentation so I could easily show the photos without looking all of my photos in one long lost..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Does not work with online docs...It seems like documents have to physically be on the iPhone in order to present from them? It doesn't pick up Apple documents, like keynote either. Quite a horrible and useless app. Not sure why my company decided to use this..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Difficult interfaceWhile AirMedia hardware works in almost all network environments, the mobile hardware doesn't benefit from the same attention. For example, in the image picker, all your images are "flattened" into one long 1000+ thumbnail gallery. The native iOS, album aware, picker is far more useful. Inexplicably, it was probably more work to create the inferior gallery than it would have been to use the default iOS picker..Version: 1.1.7
✓ SEEKING CRESTRON DISRUPTORS !My many years of experience with CRESTRON has become a shared laughing stock among my fellow CRESTRON unfortunates. My company just installed a brand new system with many thousands of dollars of superfluous add-on’s. I am the geeky-est of our group and find the vexing latency of the app interface only delays the disappointment with its primitive capabilities : totally 1986-era ( CRESTON AGAIN!) It reminds me of the restaurant review: “not only is the food bad, but the portions are small” How does CRESTRON get away with this????.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Very PoorThe app browser is a pain to use and doesn't worth with several websites. The app also doesn't allow you to share the screen while inside another app. The app works okay with files..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Zero StarsThe app just opens to a black screen and does nothing. When I double tap the home screen the preview shows me the main menu, but when I tap back into the app it goes black again..Version: 1.1.7
✓ No support for Apple's iPad appsThis seems like such a good idea, but the implementation is severely flawed on the iPad app. While you CAN connect and share, you cannot use Keynote or other Apple apps. Documentation says you can share M$ files and pdfs. The inability to present Keynote shows makes this useless to me..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Never won me overIn the five years of trying out this app for streaming content from my iPad to the TVs in my classroom, I’ve never been happy with the process or result. In this latest iteration, I saw a new logo and a recent update and hoped for the best. No luck connecting to the device in the classroom (perhaps the device was running old software? Shouldn’t keep me from connection though), but my iPad did stop Airplaying to my home TV. I didn’t make the connection right away, but I believe the latest version of the software did something to the network stack on my iPad that broke AirPlay. Before uninstalling, AirPlay to my local TV resulted in a black screen on the TV and non-responsive internet on the iPad. As soon as I uninstalled the software (didn’t even need a restart), Airplay and internet access were restored. Have to say, this doesn’t do anything to encourage confidence in the Crestron brand. Anyone asks me for my opinion on the company or their products, I’m going to have to give a giant thumbs down..Version: 2.2.42
✓ Can’t displayThis doesn’t actually allow mirroring or sharing of anything. It redirects to a similar app (same logo in black), and that app is a black screen. Does not allow any sharing of any kind, unfortunately..Version: 2.0.10
✓ WorthlessStill a worthless app, maybe just mirror the display...?.Version: 1.1.5
✓ It doesn’t work in OSX Big Sur and previous OSXTHE NEGATIVE: The application cannot connect with the address of a network projector, and this is due to some changes Apple did in the last operating systems, mainly Big Sur. It could have been fixed, however, Crestron didn’t fix it yet. Two years or more and this company didn’t fix it! THE POSITIVE: The application actually can connect with the address of a network projector if you try multiple times. It has difficulties to connect, but after 20 or more attempts can connect. Sometimes moving around the room can connect. However, this is very unstable..Version: 2.2.34
✓ Does not function as advertised0 stars. This product claims to wirelessly display ppt, pdf, doc files (over a Crestron projector). In fact, it can only display image files - with each image as a separate file. This has been confirmed with Crestron tech support. Upshot: it's useless for its explicit purpose. For all practical purposes, iOS devices should be deemed to be unsupported for this product..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Absolutely nonfunctional.Wow this is horrific. Cannot connect to a display on iPad OS 16, either..Version: 2.2.42
✓ Works, but device integration limitedThe app does exactly what it says, and that's a good thing. Unfortunately for me personally I present lots of interactive content, not just PDF and office documents. The "shoot and share" approach of 'sharing applications' is limited in it's usefulness, and fairly clunky if I'm in the middle of a presentation and just want to flick to something else. What would be much more useful would be being able to share the home screen (and therefore other apps) in the same way I can share via home sharing. This is effectively the power I have on my laptop, but then the content and apps I share are on the iPad. Looks like I'll still be wired for the near future anyway..Version: 1.1.5
✓ No more support - broken appCrashes when you open photos. Does not work on various devices (newer ones like 2016 models). Last update to this app was 2015. Developer no longer supplies updates. Would be nice if they did if their app would scan the local network for available projectors too. Maybe the projectors need to broadcast themselves on bonjour first. Who knows. Won't happen. Someone should really nudge the developer..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Horrible!This app screwed my laptop up. DO NOT DOWNLOAD unless you want to risk your laptop..Version: 1.1.7
✓ WorthlessAbsolutely useless. Since iOS 8 this app does nothing of value..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Useless. Crashed, then won't restartAt first, was able to connect to host, but couldn't share anything due to permission blocking. Tried to allow app to access local content, but after attempting this, the app froze and now will not reopen. It simply pulls up a black page every time. I'm very disappointed at the AM-101 and its correlating software. Remote view from the unit only displays a static image, to display any changes, you have to refresh your browser. This renders it basically useless. I'm a professional AV integrator, and I expected better from Crestron..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Didn't work at allHad the previous version of the app working on my iphone. Downloaded this app for my ipad (iOS 10.3.3). Connected to same wireless network as rest of the enterprise. Doesn't find anything to connect to. Restarted iPad and app multiple times. The AirMedia desktop app is fine...but this app is 'no bueno'..Version: 1.1.7
✓ I have yet to get this to workThis never connects to any of my universities tvs.Version: 2.1.24
✓ Does not workAbsolute garbage. The company should be ashamed to put something as poorly coded as this app into the market. Freezes, crashes, doesn’t connect..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Doesn't even work on ipads....Version: 2.2.42
✓ Load file errorDid the recent iOS update now I can't load documents. I get load file error/document engine error. Pictures and browser are no problem..Version: 1.1.2
✓ AirMedia mostly fine, has some quirksThe app mostly works fine, but at some point in the last few months, swapping between projectors requires an iPad restart which is wildly inconvenient for college faculty..Version: 2.2.42
✓ Needs a browersThis app needs a robust web browser. Also, hate that it breaks the connection each time you load a file..Version: 1.0.10
✓ No Document load!App does not allow you run or load docs (including PowerPoint files). Someone indicated since IOS update but is there a fix?!.Version: 1.1.2
✓ Utter MinceI downloaded this with high hopes, unfortunately the App launches into a black screen and then closes returning to the home screen of the phone. Utter mince, would give it zero stars if it were an option..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Do not buy CreastronThe product is fine. The developed in China apps render the product useless. Even the Windows app stinks..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Practically uselessOne cannot simply share the entire screen, it expects the user to load the documents they wish to share ahead of time using iTunes on a computer. Additionally, the UI looks like it hasn't been updated since iOS 5..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Not usefulMy institution recently upgraded our library and these devices were brought in as state of the armory enhancement for our students. We Have been trying to connect wirelessly via iPhone, laptop (HP, LENOVO, Mac) and nothing seems to connect to any of the screens. A waste of money!.Version: 2.2.31
✓ Another Bad App by CrestronSeriously, if you can't write software in a remotely competent way, please outsource it to someone that can! Complete garbage like the rest of their software..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Does not worKOn startup, only show a black screen for a few seconds then crash..Version: 1.0.10
✓ Won't RunJust black screen for ~10 seconds then back to home..Version: 1.0.5
✓ 100% awfulSee the title and save yourself the trouble..Version: 2.2.42
✓ Worse than a standard projectorCan't show what is on my screen. Only a limited number of files formats. A huge step back in terms of functionality compared to a simple projector..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Slideshow bombsSlideshow displays first pic then stops displaying on monitor, continues on phone. Tried w multiple iphones, ipads. Same thing. Droid works perfect. Fix it now.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Dinosaurs are extinct, creation aoesnt know itLike many relics from the past, creston is a company that has not kept up with technology. All of the UI is hard and ridiculous to use. The discovery doesn't work and it will assuredly never find your devices..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Not working consistently on iOS8Despite updating to the latest recent firmware release of Airmedia and the latest iOS App, flicking through photos still causes the connection to fail and you need to reconnect after each time. Apparently Crestron know about the bug and are working on it. For now iOS implementation is weak....Version: 1.0.10
✓ I got it to work kind ofThis app really needs a ton of work. What could have been tbh. Even for someone who kind of got it to work. It was bad.Version: 1.1.7
✓ Nice but seems to lack function on iOS??Lots of promise but on iOS 8.1 it won't link to any documents even though I have the in icloud Should it play video Okay for pics but until documents work of limited value I may be missing something.Version: 1.0.10
✓ I would give negative stars if I couldAirMedia quite literally never works. The app won’t pick up a single receiver and I can’t use a web browser either. Garbage..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Really badIt barely works. Locks up and crashes constantly. Poor UI. Aspect ratio often wrong. Compatibility issues. Slow. Wish my org didn't use this..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Does not workI’ve tried using AirMedia on Iphone, ipad, an MacOS and it does not work, yet my school/work fully integrated Creston into everything so we’re stuck with useless thousands of dollars worth of AV equipment around campus that no one seems to be able to use,.Version: 2.2.42
✓ Document don't workDocuments don't work. It says "load engine error".Version: 1.1.2
✓ Just awfulWe have these installed in our classrooms and they're just useless. Stay away..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Does not work in 2024I have tried to use this app for years in my university classrooms, it worked back in 2020, but not since about 2021..Version: 2.2.42
✓ Test your app before releasing updateCrestron may be the worse company about releasing firmware updates without testing. They rely on the user for beta testing. The browser crashes from this update among other bugs. Audio does not work from iPhone/iPad. This product will never make it without full screen mirroring..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Solid waste of lifeExcellent job wasting time and effort. Great business fail..Version: 2.0.10
✓ -5 starsIf it were possible to give this a negative 5 star review I would. This app does nothing useful. In fact, it is a waste of time to try. Do yourselves a favor, don't buy Creston junk, get yourself an Apple TV, hook it up to your TV and get productive and likely save thousands of dollars and countless brain cycles..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Weak and buggyThis technology is a poor alternative to AirPlay and is not recommended. Buggy app. App has a weak feature set that only supports projecting documents, pictures and web pages. Web page projection is particularly buggy and results in lots of white screens after page load. No support for video..Version: 1.1.7
✓ The receivers don’t work.My university has begun using these Crestron air media receivers. However, after several months of trying to hook up my device, be it an iPhone or my Mac or a PC, I have been unable to get a single receiver to detect to my devices. The experience has been generally frustrating, to say the least..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Never workedI never got this to work. Frustrating..Version: 1.1.5
✓ Utterly uselessAs of iOS 8.1 on a retina mini it can display a single image... And that's it. Attempting to switch to another breaks the connection. The only formats I've been able to open are PDFs - for only one page - or JPEGs. Videos cause app to freeze. No PPT support as far as I can tell..Version: 1.0.10
✓ GarbageSo far it’s batting a .000. Congrats to crestron on successfully conning my university into spending my hard-earned tuition money on a flaming pile of garbage app. Proud of u..Version: 2.2.34
✓ At Work: Cannot Display iPad Pro ContentThe app does not allow me to display documents (PowerPoint, PDF, Excel, etc.) that are typical in use during business meetings. The documents exist on the cloud (Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, iCloud). In theory, before each meeting, I could sync the specific documents that will be shared, but that assumes all documents are known. In working meetings, often other reference documents get opened and shared. Until the app can either display documents opened in the apps themselves (office 365, Adobe Acrobat Viewer, etc.) or open documents on the cloud, it is not worth the time to download. In most business settings, the functionality around sharing photos is meaningless. The app seems more designed for the At Home environment..Version: 1.1.5
