Used to click on share to chrome cast & away i went with images, video etc on screen. Today i had to fumble through ads to get a complecated screen where out of frustration, i paid $11 for a still complicated screen that only plays videos & not photos. But i can apparently pay more for that feature. Pissed off and looking to get rid of my chrome cast all together. Waste of $$ buying dongle to then have to pay more. AVOID!!

This is the only casting app my TV offers me. I've had to download about three different phone versions as test runs, and all of them have failed to work. I can't use the video apps themselves (Ex. YouTube) to cast because as soon as I leave the casting app, it disconnects the cast. If I try to open my video through the app, it simply acts like an internet browser and plays the video on my phone. This app does NOT work, and is a waste of my time. Please fix it soon, it's the only option I have.

I've had a very hard time setting my Chromecast.ive done it before but can't get it to connect in a different location. But it is very cool once it is connected. You can pretty much cast anything off your phone or mirror it onto your TV. So on a negative side it's hard to hook up, on the positive side its great ones it is connected.

I purchased Pro years ago for my i pad for Chromecast! I bought the whole ultimate package as I didn't know what type of song I would be using it at that time. I've had very few problems till latest update yesterday. Now going to try the free version on Android. my iPad seem to keep dropping the video since I did an update yesterday .I'm kind of pissed about that. But I had years of great fun from this app's pro version .

This app is supposed to be free. After watching a 30 second video you should be able to watch your show. But 30 minutes in you get a banner ad that won't dissapear forcing you to buy something. I get that they want people upgrade but this is a scummy way to go about it. You get the ad revenue for us watching ad, I think it's silly to then put in a banner ad that spoils the whole experience. Don't download if you want to use the free version.

have paid for the full version just to still get adds and for it to crash constantly. it never picks up video files on its own either. the app for apple works so much better than android. and even then it still crashed all the time or just wouldn't load. I'm not impressed. I actually want my money back. if I even knew how to do that I would

The ads have taken over on this app. I've purchased the full version and can't use it at all! I've updated my adblocker numerous times. Wouldn't suggest buying this when there's free ones on here that work. I refuse to email every time (I have before with no response) this is not my full time job! Add something to the app that recognises the glitch and offers send a report more swiftly. stop expecting people to put in the work to cover your short fall.. We'd love to have our moneys worth..Please

Recently 75% Video Fails.. connects ok but when a link is selected, video tries but fails to load. Same links worked in the past. UPDATE. Videos play if app is forced to desktop mode. Still fail when in mobile mode. Sent sample videos to developer several times....still not working Multiple phones, several users with same problem. Must be a reason while app is only getting 3.2 stars.

Don't try at all... If you are trying this app you are wasting your valuable time... It never cast and keeps on popup for adds and all adds will play fine... You can't even cast a picture or video irrespective of file format it gives only one error stating we are unable to play the video we are sorry we will try add the features to play this video's in our next version... For each and every movement you will get an add successfully and even after upgrading to pro version also the same result.

Perfectly simple. The full version is a little expensive though. Edit: I found a problem with your app. If I make a Hotspot with the Chromecast as a user of this Hotspot I can't stream videos. The app says that my phone is not in the same network. Edit It is possible to cast while using hotspot. Just look at 'Localcast'. I prefer using this app, that's why I hope you can add this feature.

Works well for me actually but after 30 mins or so an obtrusive banner appears saying "UPGRADE NOW" that doesn't seem to go away for a long time so I have to exit and restart which can be difficult depending on what I'm streaming. Would be perfect without this or if it was simple to get rid of. I get that the company obviously wants us to get the premium version but don't make the free version at all if you're going to make it almost unusable. I'll be trying other casting apps now.

Update: I've given it time to remedy the pop up situation and redirection to a white screen. I've contacted the developers who were very kind and polite in saying they are working on it. I have ultimately decided to just delete the app though because it no longer functions for me. There are other free casting apps that work fine... so this feels very unfortunate since I've already paid for this app.

Literally the micro transaction king I never ever thought in game purchases would ever be this bad honestly stuff you! Really sad to see this is the direction it's heading and you should be ashamed

Rating changed back to 5 stars. Previous crash issue reported was not the app. It was an Android battery saving issue.

Sound no longer works. Believe it's a ploy to make you purchase more. I've been using this for years and now all of the sudden after updates, sound doesn't work. And now I'm Strongly urged to purchase more features? Whole home screen has changed with pop up to buy added features. Probably so I can have the sound back. So I strongly urge others not to buy into this kind of bait and switch business practice. O stars for this reason but could only select the one star button

Completely unusable at this point. Have used this app to cast for several years. Bought the premium version for ad blocker feature primarily. Has worked well in the past but currently am not able to cast at all. Using a movie site I have always streamed from I can't even get the screen to choose the movie without being directed to some advertisement or "congratulations you've been select to win this prize!! Just complete this survey!" Even with recent updates it just seems to have gotten worse.

This chrome cast when working is awesome. I have a 4K HD 75 inch TV and the picture is amazing. Problem is it only works 20% of the time, the rest is blurry, spinning, loading. I had better picture quality on rabbit ears back in the 70's. It's too bad, I've tried Chromecast and TV Buddy and neither one of them work well enough, or consistent enough to drop Direct TV. Very frustrating and disappointing!!

This is a waste of time. When you open the app it gives a full screen ad for the p remium version. If you click on the black part, it gives more info on how to buy. If you click on the Chromecast icon, it offers to cast to some devices - but NOT my Samsung TV! When trying to cast, it shows a bar code. And if you go to the web site offered, it goes to Buy Premium! Reviews on this site show that Premium doesn't work either. So I'm uninstalling this app. Thanks for wasting my time.
