Description
The easiest way to enjoy your own photos & videos on your TV.
Photo Video Cast is the #1 chromecast application in its category, with powerful features presented in a straightforward, simple interface.
*** App Requires a Chromecast, or a Chromecast-enabled TV ***
A REALLY BIG DISPLAY changes everything!
• Share your photos and videos on your bug screen TV with family and friends.
• Create your own custom slideshows by picking individual photos or entire albums, add songs from your music library to make a soundtrack .
• Multiple iPhones/iPads can beam photos & videos to a single screen.
• Start a slideshow, and keep it running in the background.
• Cast from any application that supports photo sharing.
• 5 video resolutions available, up to 4K UHD with Chromecast Ultra!
• 4 photo framing modes to make the most of your large screen:
- Screen fit (resize photo to fit your TV frame)
- Full screen (centered)
- Full screen (pan)
- Full screen (centered on faces)
• Some great features for small businesses & events:
- Let the cloud take over: loop your slideshows uninterrupted without tying down your iPhone/iPad.
- Turn on multicast to cast slideshows to multiple TVs at the same time.
Note that the face detection feature works best when both eyes + mouth are visible, and does not currently work with cloud slideshows.
***** Compatibility *****
If your TV is compatible with chromecast, photo cast will work. In other words, all you need is an HDMI port on your TV.
The picture is optimized for your TV's resolution so you will be making the best of your TV. All resolutions are supported
***** Mobile HotSpot (MiFi) users *****
If your WiFi is powered by a Mobile HotSpot (MiFi), your MiFi device may need additional configuration to allow your chromecast dongle to request images from your iPhone/iPad on port 8081/8082 over HTTP. It may just work out of the box, but we recommend trying the following steps if it doesn't:
1. Port filtering should either be completely disabled, or if enabled, HTTP communication should be allowed on port 8081 & 8082
2. Privacy separation should be disabled
3. If all fails, enable port forwarding with these settings
- protocol: HTTP
- port range: 8081 to 8082
- destination ip: the ip address of the iOS device running photo cast
***** Important Notices *****
- Cloud-powered slideshows will automatically upload your photos to a private cloud.
- If you experience frequent buffering with videos, make sure that both your chromecast and your iPhone/iPad have a good wifi signal reception. Should all else fail, pick a lower resolution.
- If you are experiencing any issues, please contact us at photocast@swishly.com. We can't help you if we don't hear from you!

Ratings and Reviews
Good app easy to use
I really like this app. Easy to use, just select photo and then the chromecast to cast to and photo displays on the TV. The only downside is there is insufficient help and no way to contact the developer. I’m having an issue with the video tab where some videos have a red exclamation mark on them but I can’t find help on how to resolve this.
Excellent for photos and now for videos too.
Works very well with photos,allowing me to show all my iPad and iPhone photos on TV. Connects to TVs very easily via wifi. Good quality images on screen and ideal if you want to bore/show a number of people at the same time!
For a while videos didn't work but updates have restored the app to its former glory.
Excellent!!
UPDATE March 2019. Since I recently acquired a Sky Q box,videos tend to stutter a bit,having never done so before. I’ve followed the advice to unplug Photo Cast briefly and restart but I’m still getting the stuttering! It only lasts about 10 seconds and then settles down to normal play but it doesn’t add to the experience!
UPDATE ON UPDATE April 2019. Having read the instructions for the app more carefully and fully,I have eliminated stuttering on videos by switching to the lowest resolution. Videos AND photos still look good and it’s only a moment to switch to a higher resolution for still pictures.
Now five stars again! Excellent!
Better then google
With the standard google apps the resolution on videos was shocking but this app solved it meaning I could watch my he videos perfectly after a sort wait wile it optimised the video if I could get rid of the small banner it would be perfect small price to pay though when u look at the alternative
