Had this for just over a week. It worked perfectly for just a couple of days. Then the first update stopped any radio to be cast either via voice control or on-screen button select. No after last night's update there's no news either. Basically it gets worse with each update and not better as it should. A £130 ornament.

Unreliable... I continuously have reboot my Samsung S6 phone and the chromecast and/TV to get it to work. Then it stops working and I have start all over again.

Crashes on startup - Home is having trouble with Google Play Services error reported. Selection of OK and Home crashes - Home is now useless. Same error reported in gmail app, but that doesn't crash. Nexus 7, Android 6.0.1

Google Home app seems to have broken the continual communication between Chromecast and my phone. Makes Chromecast borderline unusable. The Cast app worked fine. Such is progress.

Latest update RUINED this app. Can't do anything unless I give google assistant permission to track everything I do and everywhere I go. NO WAY!!!

Great potential But very disappointing device. Everything is related to google. I hope sony will provide updates to use my xperia z with chromecast without third parts apps.

No longer works with Google Photos. I have tried factory reset and rebooting. I have a Pixel phone so you would think all is well. Nope! Fix it ! Seems to be getting worse with each update.

Tim Brandt June 28, 2017

Requiring location to be turned on to set it up?! That's absolutely ridiculous and purely part of Google's scheme to make money off user-information. They are taking it too far. Hate it.

Manoj Jangra June 26, 2017

Don't know what is wrong with chromecast 2 developers, they don't allow users to direct connect to chromecast 2. Why we need connect to wifi for everything. In india broadband is not so common so we want to directly connect to chromecast 2

Kevin B. Bourne June 28, 2017

Disconnects, chromecast stops after 4 minutes, 5 minutes, etc, etc. Movies just quit playing. Sits right next to wifi modem. Horrible product.

Peter Pavlovic June 27, 2017

Would give it 5 stars but I don't have the multiple user option even though this version contains it...

Mike Shewan June 28, 2017

It doesn't pick up my Chromecast just 3 feet away, is there a problem with this app ?

rahul varma June 28, 2017

Great app works fine when there is good internet speeds, but needs to improve in low bandwidth speeds

Jessamyn Bailey June 28, 2017

Such limited function. Work fine if nothing goes wrong but fixing any problems involves starting over again. My have two cromecasts I try to use and I basically have to unplug, replug and relink the devicesevertime I go to cast something.

Steven Epix June 28, 2017

I feel like an app for managing cast devices should be separate from a store or viewing recommendations.

Abdiel Hinojos June 28, 2017

Quick & easy to use for my Chromecast Ultra!

Emanuel López June 28, 2017

It would be better if the app list my Chromecast devices in the main screen

Manuel Salamanca June 28, 2017

You messed everything again!! It worked fine before this update.

Nabeel Dar June 28, 2017

Every time I try to click home control nothing happens, it just stays on the menu for some reason! Very Frustrating!

Shaun King June 28, 2017

Too many UI steps to cast screen! Make a Cast Widget or shortcut for home screens.

Everett Johnston June 28, 2017

You can't chromecast downloaded rented movies just stream them. Try doing that at a hotel with crappy wifi which is why I downloaded it in the first place. Becoming more useless everyday.

Mikey Moe June 28, 2017

LOVE ALL GOOGLE PRODUCTS HAS TO OFFER AND KEEPS GETTING BETTER "THANK YOU" FOR DOING A GREAT JOB WITH ALL YOUR PRODUCTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!++++

Brandon Amato June 28, 2017

Jonas Grau Thomsen June 28, 2017

The Chromecast is a brilliant idea, and I use it daily.

David Bruun June 28, 2017

Det virker bare ikke....og man kan ikke force en firmware opdatering... Virker en gang i mellem fra PC men er umulig fra mobilen, og det er på trods af at man har kan se status/omdøbe/genstarte enheden med mere, uden problem...men netflix... no way... Opsætningen af enheden er lige til at gå til.... Men alt i alt er det en ommer, så heller en android tv-box... Så kom der langt om længe en opdatering, og med et trylleslag gik min stick fra skidt til godt... Holder dog fast i en x7 eller x8 er et bedre valg.. 2017..så fik de styr på det...easy setup...har brugt den til setup hos alle mine venner som ik er it nørder...virker bare...

Franklin Tseng June 28, 2017

Chromecast 2 is good, but more problems with connecting with the dual band 2.4 & 5 Mhz routers.

Dhennys Pestana June 28, 2017
