Pros

1. You can use this app to remote view all media from your desktop back home while you are outside!
2. Ability to watch what you want where you want and when you want it using WIFI, 3G, 4G or remote WIFI!
3. Convert videos from other formats remotely!
4. Amazing controls in the quality you want from the streaming
5. Supports both window & mac which is cool

Cons

1. Some user want a search capability as they have way too much medias in their desktops that it’s kind of hard to find what they want to watch even thou you can sort according to alphabetical, time, size and in ascending or descending order
2. Some larger media does have problems of pausing while buffering even thou I’m on WIFI at home, it may be a bug but iPad compatible format (smaller size) don’t have such problem. I’m not sure if this is a bug however maybe for the developer to check on .mov format if there’s any unnecessary pause.
3. There should be a in-app video or step by step instructions on how to port forward, I blame the router manufacturers for creating complicated router web settings but there should be easier way to teach people about port forwarding.
4. Not everyone have static IP address that doesn’t change when you reset your router, so this app will consistently fail on remote access if your router power connection are too loose and the IP address goes to a different one suddenly. Contact your local Internet service provider(ISP) to check if your IP is dynamic or static however most static IP comes at a cost.

Instructions on port forwarding

1. Go to your router setting usually is 192.168.0.1 on your web browser
2. Login if you have the username & password for the router, if not ask your ISP or google for default username & password (which after hard reset with a pin behind the router will reset to factory default password which may always be “admin” & “password” depending of which router types)
3. When you are in your router setting, find services and create a new service for “Air Playit” and put the port start & end at 37218
4. If you cannot find “services” which some router don’t have, simply search for firewall rules or something similar and find option for port forward
5. Or you can find add inbound services and add one service for port 37218
6. The IP address for the inbound access to will go to your computer IP address which can be found in your desktop network setting
7. After the router setting is saved, go to your iPad or iPhone and add remote server with IP address manually.
8. Add the “Internet IP address” for internet access for the remote server on your iPad or iPhone using the one found in “Air Playit” preference on your desktop
9. If you use admin pin, remember to add it in the setting on your iPad then add the remote server
10. From here on, you can access your desktop media files using Air Playit app on your iPhone or iPad remotely via 3G, 4G or even remote WIFI.

Overall, I find this app very similar to other apps such as Air Video & etc but it does tried to make a difference by placing an apple advertisement with EVERY video played so that the app remains either very cheap or free for users!

That means more people can get “Air Playit” on your iPhone or iPad for free and see more of their 5 seconds advertisement instead of charging expensive price on this quality app! 😀
