Ratings and reviews

This app is AWFUL. I watched 6 hour long episodes with NO problems at all. 20 mins into the 7th and final episode and it decides it just doesn't want to work anymore. Tried resetting wifi, phone, app and episode. None of it worked. I spent an HOUR trying to watch the last 40 MINS of the final episode. I have 1gbps internet and if I didn't have problems for 6 hours, why am I having problems now? I guess I'm never finishing the show. FIX YOUR APP!!!

It is kind of expensive, but to those having difficulties streaming or mirroring, are you using an Apple? I'm not sure if "Smart View" is pre-installed on your phone or not, but it works really well on Samsung. "Smart Things" is another app that will allow you to stream and control multiple devices that might be worth checking out.

The Web Video Caster app was amazing for the first couple of weeks, but after like 3 weeks it stopped working it kept loading slow literally taking 40 minutes to load or sometimes it just kick me off of the app I don't know what the problem is, but I know for a fact that it isn't my tv or my phone but the app. Hopefully they can figure out what the problem is and fix it.
