Love this app! I learned last week that Roku, Apple and Android neither play well together, nor are very forthcoming about why that is and how customers might deal with same. So I spent this past week educating myself and trying product after product that didn't work well or as described. Then I tried Web Video Cast. It easily discovered & reliably connected my moto g and a collection of SONOS, Roku boxes, LG, Vizio & Samsung TVs I was watching videos in just 15 minutes. Stable AF. Thank you!

Unusable for the most part. I've been using this app since the very beginning 10 years ago. I'm a premium user as well. The same bugs that were there 10 years ago, are till present. You must refresh the page many times in order to cast,many times the subtitles are from previous movies one watched before. Also the buffering is horrendous. The app keeps blaming the server but the server is just fine. It's the app that can't keep up with the bit rate.

This app use to be great, but it now has invasive ads that completely ruin the experience. After every video, when you switch to a new video, you will be forced to watch two ads. Okay cool, the app needs funds to support itself. Sometimes the ads show before you even get to watch anything. The adds take over the whole screen and are very easy to accidentally click, because the back button is hidden. The majority of the ads are scams that take you to potentially very dangerous websites. Greedy.
