A little confusing in the beginning but once you get used to everything it really is the best caster on the market. I wonder if I could become an affiliate and get sponsored!?! πŸ€”πŸ€”

This app is awesome! I wanted to watch some adult TV and once I downloaded this I was able to cast to my "smart" TV (made smart with Ruku device). It's a little different casting because you have to hit the green button then there are several pop ups and you chose one and hit green button in the middle to the right then your good to go! I just got this app but 5 stars from this VERY pleased customer! Great job guys!
