Description
Cast all your media with the best casting app for your iPhone
Cast webvideos, local videos, music or pictures to a Chromecast, Apple TV or Smart TV.
FROM your iPhone, iPad or iPod or NAS, DLNA/UPnP, Google Photos, Google Drive, Dropbox or a webpage
TO AppleTV 4th Gen, Chromecast, Nexus Player, Amazon Fire TV, SmartTV, Sonos, Xbox 360, Xbox One or other DLNA devices.
// Web
Browse webpages in the app. If a streamable video is found on the page you can send it to your TV.
// Pro Version
The app can be used fully for 5 casts. Afterwards you need to subscribe or purchases
// Videos
Please be aware that the Chromecast only supports a couple of formats. Videos stored on your iPhone, iPad or iPod will be transcoded automatically. For videos on other sources:
The Chromecast can read containers like mp4, mkv, 3gp and m4v, but all these containers can use different codecs. If you can't hear the audio of a video, then the audio codec is not supported. If you can't see the video but hear the audio, then the video codec is not supported.
// Subtitles
You can use the integrated Opensubtitles.org search to add a subtitle manually.
Internal subtitles which are inside the video container don't work, yet.

I am just one independent developer working on my apps whenever I can, without a big budget for testing on various devices. If you find a bug please contact me. I'll try to fix it ASAP. Thanks for your support and happy casting!

Ratings and Reviews
Disappointed!!!
Referred to this app to try and stream audio to a different audio device than video. Totally did not deliver on promise. Out of pocket. Would like a refund.
Not what was expected
TLDR; no Netflix, not worth at all.
Found this app trying to find a way to play Chromecast audio through my Bluetooth device whilst playing the video on the tv.
Can’t find a private listening mode which was the whole draw of the app.
Also what kind of garbage developer makes the app 5.99 with a premium version for 0.00, yes that’s right. The premium version is free for the low price of 5.99.
I downloaded the app the play Netflix and listen though the app doesn’t have any kind of support for other apps so unless you can watch it on their browser which doesn’t support streaming Netflix from their website this app is useless. Though it does have the nice feature of being able to stream content from your camera roll onto your tv, though for 5.99... yikes.
Some other good things I see is that it can stream Instagram, Dropbox and google drive content though I’m not sure if you could do so already without the app.
Doesn't work
I'm pretty comfortable with tech, but simply put-this doesn't work with any of my media.
I am running a Plex media server which plays absolutely any format I throw at it via my Chromecast. I was certainly excited to learn that I would be able to run my files via the LocalCast app and have the video stream via the TV and have the audio streaming through my connected Blutetooth headphones. This did not happen. It tried a number of files but to no avail.
Extremely disappointing.
