Not the best
Amjst22
I used to LOVE this app. I recently started using it to stream a show from my iPad to my tv. I absolutely HATE that if you leave the window, even for a second, or shut the screen off to conserve some battery, that you have to search for/enter the link all over again! THEN you have to wait for it to load, and scrub it to try and find the place where it left off. Why can it run smoothly in the background? It’s my #1 complaint. Otherwise I love the app, but this issue makes it inconvenient and frustrating to use.
Hate it won’t work with Netflix

Trying to use this for audio on my phone but by play video on the TV.
Worked great for about 15 minutes or so... then pop-ups/ads made the stream unwatchable.

This app, although slightly clunky, worked perfectly at first and allowed me to begin streaming a concert from my phone to the TV. Before the stream began, the app displayed an ad, which was understandable... especially since it’s a free app. The ad was trying to sell me ad space within the app, which did seem a little strange. After that, everything worked perfectly (although there was an in-app notice stating that, if I wanted to pause/fast-forward/rewind, there would be an additional charge). My wife and I settled in, ready to watch that evening’s concert. As I mentioned earlier, it worked perfectly at first. However, after about 15 minutes or so, it displayed a HUGE banner at the top of the screen, cutting off about the top third of the stream or so, informing me that it would go away if I paid for the premium version of the app. We waited it out for a few minutes, hoping the banner would disappear, but nope... it just started slowly moving around the screen. It was at that point that I gave up, and just began casting the livestream from a Chrome tab on my PC. This worked perfectly, didn’t cause any issues for the rest of the night, and didn’t interfere with normal usage of the PC (my son was able to play games on it while we used it to stream the concert to the living room TV). Skip this app, and just use Chrome on your desktop PC if at all possible.
Good for casting just about anything from a browser...

UX isn’t amazing but for the price ya cannot go wrong
Unintuitive mess
Eventually Consistent
It’s impossible to figure out how to stop something once you start casting, or to unpair your device when something gets screwed up (which it does, often). We had to call to have support unpair our devices, and were told to call again if the same issues occurred — is that a well-designed system, when the user can’t perform basic actions like that? Amazon Prime just spun the past two nights we tried to cast it; that may be their problem b (most likely is), but nothing should ever spin forever (and lock you out of everything until you push enough buttons to get out). Right now a show we were watching (and turned off) is still playing, and there is no obvious way to stop it. Arggghhhh. I really dislike crappy user interfaces, and this one is right up there in terms of unintuitive, annoying, unusable interfaces.
