About this app

Cast online videos from your Android device to Roku! This app is intended to help cast videos embedded in websites that don't have a Roku channel.

Install the R-Cast channel and R-Cast app in your Roku and Android devices respectively. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect your Roku devices.

Browse the web for videos in the Android app and cast them to the Roku channel. It's that easy!

Please note that not all videos can be cast including HTTPS, Flash videos, live streams. If you see R-Cast channel load the video and return to the home screen it is usually because of incompatible video format. Roku doesn't play all video formats that play in Android devices.

Videos in the web that are not in high definition, might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. If the video website already has a Roku channel, please use its channel.

YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 and newer devices, please use the YouTube app.

Ratings and reviews

Thanks for stealing my money!! Once I figured out this horrible layout of an app it worked perfectly for a few months. Now, not so much. It will no longer cast off any site I go to. It's still connected but will cast random videos that's not even on the site I'm looking at. I've re- downloaded everything and re connected everything and still nothing.

Absolutely worthless and I bought it! only plays the video for 3 seconds and the cuts out and quits very pissed update switching to the 3 stars from 1 star due to their prompt attention to this review and a quick refund. the app has a ton of problems too many to list but they did handle the situation professionally and quick which isn't any more then I could ask for (barring a useable app) the company 10 out of 5 stars though!

VERY disappointed! As soon as I installed the free version, it wanted me to update and pay for the professional. I did that, and then my phone started crashing and come to find out there was malware and viruses attach this. It did not work at all and I'm very disappointed by the fact that I paid $2.49 for this. I guess there is no refund. it also kept prompting me to purchase the Roku remote, which I already have on my phone. Do NOT install this app!
