AirWeb is the first app to mirror a web browser in full screen viewing on your TV via Apple TV AirPlay. iPhone, iPad and iPod touch have built-in AirPlay feature to mirror a web browser via Apple TV to your TV as well.

AirWeb 1.1.0 requires iOS 7.0 or later, is optimized for iPhone 5/5s and is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. AirWeb works with Apple TV 2 or 3 and in combination the following Airplay supporting devices: iPad Mini 1G and up, iPad 2 and up, iPad Air, iPhone 4S and up, iPod Touch 5 G and iPhone 4 (requires a VGA/HDMI cable to connect to the TV).

- Tap on ‘AirPlay‘, select your Apple TV in the list and make sure ‘Mirroring‘ is on.
