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.

Hit or miss, unfortunately. Many times, the file doesn't cast correctly. Occasionally, only the video plays without sound. Other times, an error is displayed that a file isn't supported. H265 audio? Forget it. 1080DPI? Good luck trying. It's even more frustrating when you pay for the app and it just doesn't get any better.

What trash... Either it won't launch, or it freezes the device. It's always something with this app. If your app is a paid app and you aren't going to release any updates for a while, then I feel you're obligated to stabilize the app the best you can at least first. The issues I've encountered aren't device dependant either. They happen with every device I use it with.
