It can be tested under a FREE trial license, and the fully unlocked version of the app can be accessed via yearly personal or business subscriptions. To ensure the proper function of LonelyScreen, make sure it is excluded from your Windows Firewall block list, that all devices are connected to the same network, all are running up-to-date OS versions, and that portable devices are compatible with the AirPlay standard (iPhone 4S or newer, iPad 2 or newer, Pad mini and newer, and iPod Touch 5 and newer). As a final option, this PC app also has integrated support for video capture, enabling users to not only record their iPhone or iPad video feed on PC’s local storage but also have a one-click option to upload a recorded file directly on YouTube and Vimeo. The app supports receiving both streaming multimedia content and direct 1:1 screen mirroring, which can enable both home and professional users to easily set up mirror sharing for their presentations, showcasing of family pictures, gaming on a bigger screen, classroom education, meeting, and living room presentations and more.

The default name of your PC connection will be “LonelyScreen”, but you can change that with a simple rename feature. To receive a video feed on your PC, you simply need to activate the AirPlay function on your portable Apple device.

After the app is installed, it will be added to the list of the apps that will start on every Windows OS boot. To make installation as painless and fast as possible, developers of this app have managed to make the entire app less than 1 MB in size, with all configuration options pre-selected for best usage practices by the automatic installer itself. The only thing that is needed is for the LonelyScreen application to be installed on a PC and that both PC and your iPhone/iPad are connected to the same home network. The installation procedure is incredibly simple, and it does not require making any configuration changes or installing new apps on Apple devices. Just like iPhone and iPad owners can cast anything from their portable screens on an AppleTV device, users who set up the Lonely Screen app can also do so on their home PCs! More precisely, these lightweight and very easy-to-use applications allow Windows PCs to become fully compatible AirPlay receivers. LonelyScreen is a remote display management app that allows owners of iPhone and iPad portable devices to cast their screens via AirPlay standard straight on the desktop of their desktop or laptop PC running Windows OS.
