Web Video Cast | Browser to TV Ratings and Reviews

Subtitles broken

Everything about this app is pretty dang good. You can either airplay, use dlna, or cast to the receiver app if you have one installed on the tv. Airplay works quite good but limited to 1080p 60. Using the dlna can work much higher but it depends on your tvs capabilities of what files and performance. But you can if it exists download the app on your tv and connect the phone to that app. Then I haven’t had any issue with ANY video playing. I can change audio track and overall it’s really good. Only issue is that subtitles don’t work correctly at all. A file I know has subtitles ingrained doesn’t show any subtitles. Meaning I can’t watch any anime unless it’s dubbed. Additionally the apps find subtitles online functionality doesn’t work correct even though I’m looking for one punch man s1 e1 I get stranger things. Put simply what works it’s really really good. No clutter and the best app out of many I’ve tried. Once or if subtitles get fixed I’ll change to 5 stars and like buy any pro or whatever as it’s the only app that works correctly (minus subs).

Update 5 stars
Subtitles still aren’t perfect but honestly. This app is the best on the store. They deserve the 5 especially since they don’t have a subscription but just a flat fee. Big fan of the app and like I said it’s jus the best at what it does.

BIG PROBLEM SINCE NEW IOS UPDATE

Hello. I have been using this Web Casting App for about going on two years now. I must say, I love it. Now, like any other App, you may have to delete it and restore it, all of the built up that needs to be deleted, that’s fine.
The issue I am having is I deleted the App from the TV, I deleted and reinstalled the App from my iPhone. If the websites have ads, they want you to unblock it. There’s a lot of delays with whatever you are trying to cast before, during and after. It will just freeze period. I deleted the App from my TV again and my iPhone and reinstalled in both areas. I would watch something, it worked well at the beginning, then again the freezing. I would press the fast forward, and again, it freezes. I got so annoyed today because this has never happened. I will try it again. When will there be some update in the his App? I will have to look for something else until the update are completed.

Best screen casting *app* for iOS to Roku

So I recently have been looking for an app that can screencast videos (which were unavailable on any of the streaming apps available on Roku) from my iPhone 12 to my Roku Express. I honestly have to say that this is the best app out there for iOS to Roku. I can’t get regular AirPlay to work, but they have an app on Roku OS that works smoothly, plus it has an ad blocker on every website FOR FREE! So if you only want to use AirPlay on Roku, I’m not sure this app is the best option; but if you download this app on both your iPhone and your Roku, I fully believe it’s one of the best ones out there— I definitely haven’t found a better one.

Great App!!

I've been using this app for a couple of years now and it has always worked great. It has fast connection speed and if you're on a good website you should have no problem with buffering and loading times. If you're looking to cast to a roku, this app is also available on the roku store and they pair very nicely. However, I will say that this app does feature a lot of ads, but I personally don't really mind too much. Overall, this is a great app and I would suggest to anyone who wants to cast to a smart tv, roku, or any other cast supporting device.

Worked great at first...

easily the best free app to allow what iphone should already allow through chrome web browser at the very least.. but we aren't going to get into that. after about a month of pretty uninterrupted casting from my iphone XR and now all of the sudden it rarely works and i end up switching to a streaming app and not watching what i wanted to. not sure if there was a bug or something that recently screwed things up but my problem lies with streaming movies off of a webpage that i have no issue with on my airplay with apple tv however this app doesn't seem to be able to handle its job recently. please fix! i will update my review upon noticeable changes.

No longer an issue

It’s been working fine for a while just had remembered to update my review.
Old review
Not sure why but when I'm playing videos something's it'll stop showing the video and only have the audio playing. It will rever back to the standard "Welcome to Web Video Caster" screensaver and only has the audio playing until it cuts out. Never happened before and I was using this app for months with no issues. Now I can't get through a single show without having to exit out of the app on the tv or relaunch the video.

I'm sorry you are having issues with our app. The simplest way to get to the bottom of this is if you send an email to webvideo@instantbits.com with the details about the problem. Thank you.

I thought it wasn’t going to work

No issue of the app it’s self but it has ad blockers and the website I use uses pop up ads to make there money otherwise you have to pay a premium price for the site to watch anime however this app does have it where you can turn it off so far so good try it you can use it without the subscription witch is a one time payment of 3.99 probably plus tax but that’s it no monthly payments or you can use like I am without payment it still works good you just miss out some of the stuff not sure what all you get because you get a lot for free

WOW!

I just went through several apps to cast web videos to Roku. I run my own web server with my own personal site loaded with tons of private movies and shows. Not one app would play any of them. Until this one. Oddly it does show errors on my iPad saying they failed to play but then they play anyway! 🤪

Well, that was the only fail on all the others I tried and since this one succeeded, I bought the license. If you run your own personal website and want to cast your videos to your (Roku) or other device, I highly recommend this app! TEN stars!!!!

Excellent

I was searching for a Chromecast app for my iPhone, and I get sick of garbage apps I get. Until I used this app, and boy oh boy the time I see it has popup block I said oh okay thats good, but when I saw the subtitle section it blow my mind. I immediately pay not just for premium but to support these developers (which I’m too😂).
Also not to forget the glorious one time purchase and not get too far like other apps that require subscription for nothing, it’s just an app not a service.
You’ve done excellent job you guys hope the best for you.

Came close but just another generic webcasting ap.

Pop up ads are persistent and if you ignore them or cancel viewing them eventually the whole app delays and then freezes. Gotta make sure those D-List game ads get viewed though right. Wouldn’t want to miss those. I mean isn’t that’s why we wanted a web casting app? So we could be forced to watch all the ads. And if that’s not annoying enough then let’s make sure to reset your whole TV after every 5 or 6 videos you watch. I wasted more time on dealing with the bad then enjoying any type of benefit this ad was supposed to produce. Stop making free garbage in-app purchase apps like everyone else. Make something you can be proud of and something you would use yourself
