Ratings and reviews

The app isn't terrible perse - it's just very 2013 with the only modern convenience being the ability to start a video where you left off. Would like to see screen minimizing and background playback soon. So if you're not casting this will drain your battery because the screen must remain on. Edit: The screen controls are awkward and invasive. Almost every time I touch my screen either the volume or brightness is adjusted. 5/20/2021 Update - app is up to date and has crashed 3x within 20 min.

Set this up months ago and it worked fine. Finally wanted to use it today and I'm just getting a black screen on every video I try to cast to my nvidia shield TV. After a few minutes the "Qvideo" text appears but video won't play, no matter how much I try different videos and hitting the play button. The app prompted me to install an update which I did but that made no difference.

Can't get it to support transcoding, so a lot of videos retunring 'Chromecast doesn't support this video type'. Access and cast from VLC player works fine (with format transcoding happening on my older mobile)
