Reflector has a director app which I tried - it allows to control visibility of mirrored screens using a mobile/tablet (instead of my mirroring PC). The other ones are both OK, zoom mode gives good visibility. So you have to need Apowers remote control for androids (which could be nice but surely is no need to have asset) to be willing to pay as much still leaving iOS users alone as there is no remote control for them. So with Apowermirror you have to go Pro which costs about seven times as much as the alternatives (lifetime license). Apowermirrors free mode does not allow zooming which simply is a deal breaker: smaller fonts are impossible to read even when are just a few meters away. Update: after three weeks and ApowerMirror Evaluation ending leaving me in free mode my verdict has to be changed. So I will start with Apowermirror and I think I will switch later to Airserver. The other two are different in their abilities: while Airserver does everything I think I will want to do in the future Reflector has some more possibilities. And if you want a little bit more (Screen recording e.g.) it is rather pricey. It’s the only candidate needing a special client to install (which is free too) which is not as elegant as the other two requiring no manipulation of the mobiles. You can see easily that Apowermirror Free is very basic - but to begin with this is OK. The other ones do not cost much (starting at $10-$15) for my scenario as only the teachers computer has to be equipped with it. After some comparison (see table) I decided to use ApowerMirror as a starting point - being free in a (very) basic version being the most important criterion. After some research the three mentioned programs made it to my shortlist. When starting this term (see here) I did not know which program or other solution would be best. The possibility to share students screens too is not only engaging but makes sure that everyone is involved. Mirroring mobile screens to a whiteboard beamer is extremely useful to teach how to do something.
