Customer Reviews & Ratings for Lightning to VGA Adapter

I bought this very expensive cable only to find out, that it's a complete waste of money.
Wanted to watch Netflix and other streaming services from my iPad to my bigger computer screen. But no can do.
It makes me really angry, that Apple is not clear about the limitations of their product. Just sell and pretend there's no issue.
The cable is not "broken", so can't ask for my money back. Not such a smart move, since angry clients tend to move their loyalty to other suppliers. Even I, a former apple fan, is seeing benefits of changing my equipment.

I bought this so I could watch Netflix from my iPad to my TV, which is a plain flatscreen. The vga cable used to work with this same TV and a laptop. Now since the laptop has been replaced by the iPad, I got this adapter. Apparently Netflix blocks it. It does mirror the iPad screen to the TV and will play videos that I made on the camera, but the sound on maximum on both devices simultaneously is weak. VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!!!!!!

On my old 30pin iPad I was able to connect to many VGA input projectors. I just bought this lightning adapter for my new iPad and I could not run my Key Note presentation at all. Nothing worked at all, I will have to do a bunch of trouble shooting before my next presentation next week.

This is an annoying product we use regularly at work, however we need to buy new ones every 6-8 months. Surely they can make a product that has some durability in it or less wires that can be stretched. If we are paying £50 then it should last for 3-4 years at least!

I use these to connect my ipad to a tv screen, and three times they have broken within a few months. So, no more hooking my ipad up to the tv. For the insanely high price I would really expect a product that is better made. Your computers are great, but I really hate you for this, Apple

I have the iPad Air and bought the Lightning to VGA Adapter so I could watch Netflix on the big screen while on my treadmill. When I hook it up, I get an error that says it's not supported. I am able to watch VUDU movies with it so I know I do not have it hooked up incorrectly. I've read tons of reviews and see I'm not the only one with this issue, yet I've seen nothing from Apple on how to fix it. $40 for a product that doesn't work. Really??

This is just what I needed to connect my new iPad Pro (9.7") to a digital projector.

I was a bit concerned to read from other reviewers that the adapter was not working for them after updating iOS. However, I can confirm that it works absolutely fine for me with iOS 9.3.1 installed.

Use to work when playing netflix to an external display but now it claims that my display isn't HDCP compliant..... What kind of rubbish is this? I'm not buying a new display just to get my apps like netflix, amazon etc etc to work over the cable again. Really disappointing apple.
