Ratings and reviews

Hi, there. I've enjoyed using your app for a few years now. I recently received the 2026 update, and I'm currently experiencing issues with it. I can connect the app on my phone via Chromecast to my Sony TV, but when I try playing a movie it stays stuck at buffering. I can hear audio, but there's no video. Let me know if you need more details. I'm sure you've got some more troubleshooting to do, so I'll try to help however I can.

new update is.... abysmal. the new layout is unnecessary and confusing. it doesn't want to connect to my local streaming servers like it always has. and older app, all cast, still works perfectly fine so I know it's not my equipment at home. there's an old saying that goes "Don't fix what isn't broken." local cast was my go-to, it's one of the few apps I even paid for, and now it's.. whatever this is.

I have paid for a Pro version since a couple months after launch. Honestly, the developer has always been on top of things. I don't know what to think now. I've had an issue since the updates back in February and was receiving the annoying ads (which my subscription is suppose to protect me from). This app works with older phones and older tvs. I appreciate that. I also appreciated the personal touch but now is 3 months later and I've sent in countless reports, to no avail, received NO response.
