About this app
Note: Castaway requires an Apple Vision Pro, USB Capture Card, and compatible Mac or iPad. Castaway only works on iPads with a USB-C connector.
This is the iPadOS companion app for Castaway.
Castaway is an app that turns your Apple Vision Pro into an HDMI monitor. Stream from your favorite game console, PC, or HDMI enabled device and view in your spatial environment. With an easy to use connection flow, Castaway lets you instantly connect and stream from your devices.
Castaway has on-device intelligent 4k upscaling powered by Metal, meaning you can play your favorite games at 4k on your Vision Pro.

Five-star share of ratings
Under 65% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.

Method and limits
What a missing label means
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Limits of this report
- A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
- Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
- Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
- A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
