Ratings and Reviews
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
