Reflector is a mirror for iPhone and iPad that works on your PC or Mac.

So much of our lives is in digital format these days. We use phones, tablets, and personal computers to hold our most precious memories and important documents. It's important to keep all of this information safe and secure in as many places as possible so that none of it is ever lost. Reflector is a program that serves as a mirror for your iPad and iPhone information.

Desktop computer owners will be pleased that both Mac and PC are supported. Reflector works simply. It streams the iOS device screen directly to a PC or Mac computer. It's a little like Apple TV, just for a home computer. The advantages of having a mirror are obvious. If you're in the mood to watch iPhone or iPad videos on a bigger screen, you use this program to stream it directly to your desktop where the screen is bigger and it might be easier to surf around for content.

Pros

  • Setup is a breeze
  • PC and Mac supported
  • Handy to have for viewing movies and television shows

Cons

  • Windows setup can be a bit tougher than on OS X
  • Windows doesn't have all of the features of the Mac version

Streaming with Reflector is extremely easy and although it definitely works better for Mac, that's only natural given that it's for streaming things from Apple devices. Windows doesn't do a bad job of catching up and getting the job done too. This is one of the more useful tools for iPad and iPhone owners to have. The program is regularly updated and has great support for those who use it.
