4/5Sorting and firestick
An option to sort files by more than just title. Date downloaded. File type. The simple things. And I wish it worked with firestick as well. There is a rocket firestick app, but I don't want separate apps. Other than that it works well for chromecast.

3/5Loved the app always, 5 stars truly but...
The latest app update prevents casting almost 90% of the time, either leading to crashing or the app being unable to stream the video or cast it at all, the screen just goes black whether casted or not and the playback time automatically lapses to 0 when casted. I love this app and it's helped me greatly. PLEASE. FIX THIS.

3/5Gets the job done
The app does exactly what I need it to (stream from websites on my iPhone to chrome cast tv ) it can be buggy but it does what I need it to. I'd like to see an update more often than once every 4-6 months (no app is perfect ). If I saw that happening with good results this would be a 5 star app.

1/5DO NOT GET
This app is garbage. It lags. It freezes. It boots you off frequently and then you have to start an entire movie over but then because it's so touchy, that's a challenge itself. You would think that when casting a more legit website, it would work even a LITTLE bit better. But no. It just flat out does not work for legit websites. So if you want subpar quality that becomes more frustrating than useful, stick to the pirated websites. If you want absolutely nothing, try real websites! What a joke. Don't waste your money.

4/5This app works, the others don’t.
The only casting app I’ve found that works with either my new Sony XBR65X930E 4K Smart TV or my Onkyo TX-RZ720 Receiver. The app needs to be restarted sometimes, or before it will play the video or music stopped casting and restarted. But once the stream starts it’s smooth and stays connected.
