Ratings and reviews

Pretty buggy in various ways, like regularly asking me to subscribe to Premium (I subscribed a year ago), and I have to have the system check twice before it realizes that yes, indeed, I've already signed up lifetime. Guaranteed within the next couple of weeks it will be having me validate all over again. Also sometimes doesn't connect from phone to computer even though both are on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it DOES work, it's a very useful app for casting from my computer's digital library to our television in the other room. For those having the same issue with it not recognizing your subscription, just click the link "I already have premium!" The app will briefly check, deny that you are a member, but there will be a link to "check again," click that and almost immediately your premium subscription will be restored.

I'd love to give this a five star review. When I installed the product I was delighted - it did exactly what I wanted it to, and indeed paid out for the LifeTime version just to support the product. There were a couple of wrinkles - sometimes it didn't load first time, for example, but it would usually load second time. Five stars (maybe four if I was feeling picky). Then Google did something that broke the native app and it all went to hell in a handbasket. Firstly, I had to go back to the Chrome version. That's flaky as hell, and I often have to re-add my phone to get it working again. My laptop is upstairs and the TV is downstairs. At least I am getting exercise. Not only that, but the lifetime licence I paid for has disappeared, and I get invited to buy it again. And to rub salt into the wound, they've stopped responding to my requests for assistance. So, sorry guys, good product when it used to work, but your support sucks and it's taken way too long to get the fix out for the native app. It feels as if I have paid out to support the developers and they've just taken the money and run.

I started using the application ever since I got my chromecast a couple of weeks back. I run my setup on a MacOS and Android. Didn't try Windows yet. It works really good on Mac. I just plug my external hard drives and added the drives as a location and now I am using my Note 9 as the remote to play whatever I want. Since I use it a lot I really like it so I purchased a Pro lifetime lisence. Only comment is the library management. There needs to be a way to navigate through folders.
