4/5Great app, thanks
One of the best app to cast web video to Chromecast. It is not user friendly but once I figure how it work. It works well. Special unique Features that I tried and worked: 1. Mkv videos, which I don’t think there is another casting app out there that could do that. Well done! Thanks developer. 2. Ability to save video file from web. Again, hard to find app that does it. Suggestion to developer: 1. Multiple downloads would be great enhancement. 2. A more enhance file management system like about to transfer video files from other apps. I tried when using an app for example, file hue, I select a video file, then select open with Rocket, the file is not copied over. If that is can be done then this app is definitely a 5 stars app.

5/5The Best Offline Downloader
I don’t write reviews often, but I use this app more than any other app on my iOS devices, and I hardly ever run into any real problems. It’s easy to reach their tech support if you need to. I would give this app 10 stars or more if I could. I use this app daily. I don't have home internet connection so I depend o this app for offline viewing. I like it because it's easy and dependable.

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.

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.

4/5Sorting 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.
