I tested all the apps, best one for iPhone

This is the app to get. Pay the $7 one time to remove the ads, a super small price to pay compared to $100s in monthly streaming fees. I recently gave this app 1 star because of a bug but immediately felt bad because it’s such a great app. And they just updated it so honestly even if they didn’t fix the small bugs I’m going to use it anyway because it’s the best one. If there’s a better one let me know and I’ll change my review to praise the better one. There are a few things that happen like it won’t cast the first try, but that only happens with my Roku, the chromecast handled it just fine. I’ve probably gotten 7-12 people setup to use this app who have never casted to their tv’s. Some of the sites won’t stream 100% buffer rate but that’s not the apps fault. The app blocks the annoying ads almost 99% of the time and it’s nice to watch on the phone vs trying to use a normal browser with the best pop up blockers. The playlist feature allows you to cue all the movies up like bingeing tv shows and it remembers your place so you can go back on watched movies. It really lets you watch literally everything with minimal hiccups. No regrets ditching streaming.

Literally the only app i NEED

Clearly so you understand . This allows you to cast anything to any TV of any make or any model from any place on the Internet and along with that it allows you to do it on a cue list so if you have a whole season of shows you wanna watch or one video after another you can do that all of that whatever you want. This is the most amazing app I’ve ever used. I’ve been using it for I think 10 years now and there’s nothing that I won’t even try anything else today the truth this is perfect. Spend the seven bucks or whatever it is for the lifetime membership to not have the banners but if even if you don’t do that cause I didn’t do it for like I don’t know up until maybe 34 years ago you’re still gonna have an app that can cast anything so if you know the websites yes it will cast from all the websites and I’m not talking about the dirty ones I’m talking about the ones that you know I can never put on here, you can cast everything everything everything there motto should be we got everything. Yeah I don’t know how this is like the App Store download this app it’s not this is not I’m not getting paid or anything. This is a legit review.

DO NOT CANCEL YOUR SUBS FOR THIS FAILURE

I downloaded this app some time ago & I really liked it, despite the fumbling around one must do to get to anything. I thought it was a good alternative to all of my expensive subs, so I even shelled out for the “paid version”. Since being reeled in, the app has basically fallen apart. You can’t watch anything in succession. You literally have to close the entire season out & do a new search for the show you were just watching to start the next episode, other wise it will just continue playing the episode you just watched, no matter how many times you switch it. It has to be completely closed out.
Now, it simply does NOT connect to ANY device or television in my home, whatsoever. Nothing has changed at my residence. The only thing that has changed is that the developers “updated to fix bugs” last week, & now I can’t use what I’ve paid for at all.
This became a very big letdown, & I’m very upset that I cancelled all of my subscriptions with my grandfathered options to trust this failure.
Now, when I sign back up for everything again, I’ll be treated as a new subscription & not have any of my previous options.

Legitimate free streaming app

I've had it for 3+ years now, I've never had to pay a dime for the services. It blocks every single pop-up ad for any and all websites the internet has to offer, its never given me a pop-up ad for its premium services, and it's always been free to use-I'm not over exaggerating either.

You can stream and cast any video/movie from any website on the internet using any type of video player with absolutely 0 funny business. Except for the banner. But I've gotten used to it a long time ago so it doesn't bother me. Plus, the banner itself is transparent. The banner will sometimes disappear and reappear throughout whatever you're watching.

It will never advertise its premium services to you more than once; It shows you one ad which is presented when you first open up the app. Love that. If it were possible, I'd rate it 5 stars across the board for every single year that's passed with it still downloaded to my apps on my phone. I'm thankful that the app creators have kept it completely free for us to use and has also kept the app completely ad-free throughout the years even after its popularity and success.

This app should be an Editor's Choice App. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So far so good

Works well at what it is supposed to - it casts to the TV. You search for everything in the app. It acts as a browser like safari, but then you add videos to the queue if you want to watch them. This queue feature is super helpful when you're wanting to binge something. There's a small banner at the banner if you don't pay the $3 to remove it, but it's not obtrusive, and it's also not super expensive to remove. It does give you a notification at the top of the screen if you leave the app (or turn off the display), telling you to "return when convenient" as it needs the app open to avoid buffering. It does stop playing if you don't return to the app every so often, so it's quite as great as actual casting, but overall it's useable. Other than the small banner, no intrusive pop up ads or anything annoying like that. Works for how I need it to work! Recommended if you just need something easy to cast videos from the web that don't already support this.

Recent Issues

I’ve had this app for maybe over a year now and it’s been great! The one thing I hate is that with some videos, you must have the app open or else it will uncast or buffer a ton, which I don’t understand as some other videos work completely fine with the app playing in the background. Even some videos will work sometimes with the app being closed, and other times it will say I have to keep the app open for it to work. But I’ve just kinda dealt with that. The real reason I’m writing this review is because of an issue that only begun to happen recently, for some reason no matter how good my connection is, all videos in all websites will continually buffer over and over, I don’t know why it’s begun to do this as this hasn’t been a problem before, but it’s a real shame as this is one of the only ways I can have entertainment while at home :/ and this app was so incredible when I first began to use it

Used to be great

Update: I think my below issue may have been due to either a weak wifi connection or an out-of-date Roku box. I recently moved and have a new Roku and faster wifi, and so far I'm not having any issues. I still have a few gripes about this app, but as of right now it's a 4-star rating from me.

I used to love using this app, and I have the FULL paid version of it, but trying to connect it to my Roku anymore is like pulling teeth. It can take a half hour sometimes. I have to restart my phone multiple times, disconnect the Roku box, turn off wifi, and even delete the app entirely to reinstall it, and it only ever comes down to pure luck. I've gotten a lot of enjoyment from this app over the years, but at this point I think I need to find an alternative. It just doesn't connect anymore. And NOTHING has changed on my end. Very frustrating.

Works Well With My IPad

I purchase and download a lot of educational web videos, and needed a way to project them to our TV using my existing ROKU devices, so my wife could view them with me. I started out with the free version on my iPad, but recently went ahead and purchased the full features.

The only issue I have is, I have to toggle my WIFI or Airplane Mode, on my iPad, OFF and ON in order for the app to pick up my ROKU devices. It’s probably due to my wireless network setup. It’s no big deal, as I’ve gotten into the habit of doing this anytime I prepare to watch videos, and everything then works flawlessly. It’s an awesome app with excellent capability. It saved me from having to purchase additional streaming equipment compatible with my iPad-furnished proprietary app, as I don’t need an additional streaming device.

App begins to act up with repeated use of certain steaming sites

I’ve used this app to stream a lot of my anime and movies for a long time period. But now it seems whenever I try to watch my shows and movies from certain websites the app after a few days will tell me the video is not playable for whatever reason after working fine for some weeks. It’s annoying because I know it’s an app issue. I’ve been able to play the media off my phone, visit the sites on my personal laptop with no issue, but after a while the app decides that videos you’ve been playing on it with no problem are now unplayable and there is no workaround or fix. It’s been a great run with this application but I think it’s time to find a new one. If some clarity as yo why this happens from the developers could be provided that would be great.

TL; DR this app will stream perfectly for some weeks maybe even months but if you consistently use certain sites, it will eventually fail you.

BEST APP OF ALLTIME

This is the best app I’ve ever come across since apps were made! You can watch any channel, any movie, anything you could possibly think of at anytime! With or without the paid version! The paid version is great because it gets rid of the banner! But even with the banner you can still watch whatever you want. You just have the little “distraction”. I just upgraded to the paid version. $7.72 one time fee that’s good for life! I’ll never pay $150/mth for cable again! You save so much money, time and effort with this app! It’s absolutely amazing and deserves 5 stars hands down! My first time doing a review but it was definitely necessary to give the creators their credit for this amazing app! I love it and have never been more satisfied with anything! Thank you to the creators!!!!!!
