Connections quirk with Apple TV – Flipps Review

Dropout from U.S. market by several content providers damps value of Flipps HD as a companion for Apple TV. The latest design offers more functionality, although it begins to grow crowded again. Integration with Control Center is a nice fit, although the later integration with networked TV’s doesn’t quite work right. With Apple TV, it no longer wakes up the device as it previously did. If Apple TV is already awake, it still often cannot connect. You’ll need to select from iPhone’s Apple TV interface (by swiping from the bottom). Even then, sometimes it becomes quirky, and you need to force a “mirror screen” even though that is not your intention - and it is not the result. When there is an ad before the movie begins, things get even more complicated. You cannot make any device selection during an ad. Flipps has gone a long way from iMediaShare Lite. It had good days, but I’m no longer sure how valuable it is today.
