Chromecast Streamer

I’m so happy with this app now. I’ve had a ChromeCast since the beginning, and was pretty disappointed with all the limitations ,inabilities, incompatibilities, bugs, disconnects, resolution quality and how painfully long it would take to connect. I had given up on the ChromeCast and it sat in a drawer for 3 years, replaced by FireSticks & Smart TVs. Recently I bought a new Tv and it had ChromeCast built into it..... it was still rather unimpressive and had some of the same (slightly improved) issues. It had me connecting via Google Home app. Which also fell short, but then I noticed an update on Streaming for ChromeCast app, and gave it a shot...WOW, I could not believe it, finally!! Finally nailed it, totally redesigned the app, and it includes everything that I know it has been capable of all along. Screencast, browser cast, photo roll cast, camera cast, app cast, music cast. Etc. and it all just simply works. Amazing quality and speed, all in one app. So relieved that I can show a video from my iphone on my tv now in seconds rather waiting and hoping it would connect and buffer before everyone in the room lost interest.. And I dug out that old ChromeCast and hooked it back up to the bedroom tv, it is like having a brand new device now. Thank you!!

Not gonna read you the manual or try & convince why you would need a streaming bluetooth device to share your new phone features or media on your TV. We all learned the hard way about going out and purchasing the latest electronic gadgets only to realize we overpaid for a bug filled inferior product that has no use to us or anyone in the following years to come. Well it’s nice to be wrong once in a while & the Chromecast is definitely proving that point to us pessimistic people. Kind of a polite awakening how some things that come in small packages & are affordable from the get go can actually hold value & still be very useful years later to us or a friend who could relive the new gadget experience. It’s a no risk purchase that does everything it says +more. Should be standard everywhere DVI inputs are used. A simple to learn & daily used product children to the elderly can all rely on. Get yourself one or a few as memorable gifts for friends.

This is unquestionably the biggest waste of money I’ve experienced in the last 5 yrs. the connection is so inconsistent and unreliable that it makes the system unusable. While trying to watch and cast Netflix from my phone or iPad the ‘cast’ button in the top left corner only appears about 50% of the time. On the odd occasion that the button DOES appear about 50% of THAT time it seems to try to connect and then gleefully informs me that connection was unsuccessful, and to “please try again later”. Later? LATER?! I don’t want to watch Brooklyn 99 LATER I want to watch it NOW. You know, while I’m NOT at work, and how this whole digital ‘on demand’ way of watching TV has been sold to us for the last decade. The only reason I’m writing this review is because I’m sat, bored, in my otherwise quiet living room because I CAN’T CONNECT TO MY CHROMECAST!! Who knows, maybe my device is defective or my WiFi internet isn’t powerful enough to use it. The fact is it’s pretty much useless and I’ll be throwing it, hard, into my outside bin. That’s right, I’m going to bypass the inside bin and stand 20 feet away from the bin outside and hurl my CrapCast with all my might at the bin, in the hope that it shatters into a million pieces so when I put subsequent rubbish in the bin I won’t have to gaze upon its wretched, non-functioning form.
