    Doesn’t work !!

    • Written by Jennifer M from Roysecity
    • Mar 31, 2018

    If I could give it 0 stars I would! I bought this $50 cable to specifically watch Netflix on a bigger screen, but it didn’t work! It’s literally making me so mad right now that I can’t take it back or switch it out. You guys should really outline the fact that you can’t watch Netflix with this thing. Only reason I specifically bought THIS cable is because I was at Walmart and they weren’t stocked with HDMI cables. I wouldn’t recommend buying this at all and I really wish I had read these reviews before I bought it ��

    Stopped working for me after iOS 11.1 update

    • Written by Jen P from New Britain
    • Oct 3, 2017

    Have used this dongle since I got my iPad Air over 3 years ago to share my screen to a digital projector. After updating to iOS 11.1 it no longer functions... the screen shows the blue bar indicating the screen is shared for maybe 30 seconds to a minute, then it goes away and there is no longer any output.

    I get the same result with a Lightning Digital AV (HDMI) adapter, so I have to hope this is a bug in iOS 11 that will be fixed soon... if not, I will have to seriously consider switching to an Android tablet, as I need the ability to present from a tablet for work.

    Works great, but read this about HDCP compliant issue

    • Written by Stella S from Virginia Beach
    • Aug 27, 2017

    This is great for projecting or mirror presentations. However, the HDCP compliant issue is not Apple’s fault. No VGA displays are HDCP compliant. This is an anti piracy measure that Hollywood has required for all of their content and only works with HDMI and DisplayPort. I know it’s annoying but Hollywood is the one to blame not apple for HDCP issue

    Wast of money

    • Written by Gitte F from Herlev
    • May 13, 2017

    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 one and used it for awhile. But now the connection is bad so I have to buy another one.
    The price is outrageous and the fact that I am forced to buy another one because there is no other viable option irks me.

    VERY DISAPPOINTED !!!!!!!!!

    • Written by ELLEN M from El Dorado
    • Jan 12, 2017

    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 !!!!!!!!!

    Didn't work. No Stars!

    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.

    Okay Product

    • Written by Paul G from London
    • Sep 20, 2016

    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!

    Waste of money

    • Written by Arthur A from Vineland

    Why sell a lightning to VGA adapter if you can't play your purchased iTunes movies on a household projector? I purchased a movie and this adapter to create a backyard movie night for my sons birthday sleepover party. I connected my iPhone to the projector and was met with the following message, "the connected display is not authorized to play protected movies". I bought the movie! You sell the adapter! Don't waste your money.

    Fragile and way overpriced

    • Written by Adam B from Hove
    • Sep 17, 2016

    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

    Does not do what is promised.

    • Written by Rohan S from Dubai
    • Jun 15, 2016

    Bought this for AED 199 abt USD 55 to connect the iPadPro via the VGA on a projector.

    We already have several mac/ipad/iphone to device adaptors - HDMI etc. This accessory appears to work for static images and presentations but does not work consistently for movies and video and most certainly not for NetFlix which is what it was purchased for. My IT guys now tell me that its for security reasons!

    If there are 'exclusions' then this must be made clear both online and on the box.

    Does not work with Netflix

    • Written by Angela V from De Pere
    • Jun 6, 2016

    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??

    I paid over 50$ for this adapter for my iPad Air 2 and it worked great...twice. Now I get the "connected display is not supported" message. I even tried using a different VGA cable just to rule that out as a cause for the problem. The Adapter is garbage and a complete waste of money.

    Works For Me

    • Written by Doug B from BRIGHTON
    • Apr 24, 2016

    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.
