User reviews
Very responsive support. Works great on a few of my devices. Unfortunately doesn't seem to be compatible with Android TV OS 12 on the Hisense 4K FFM TV.
I don't know since when, but it seems that Chrome Cast is no longer appearing in the search list. It's a very user-friendly and convenient app, and I've found it very helpful, so I would greatly appreciate it if you could address this issue.
This app no longer works natively with Google TV, but the developer has provided a workaround you can use if you are savvy enough to use Android adb (involves installing on a PC, wirelessly connecting to TV, and some simple command line code). Took less than 30 minutes total. Using it to display a Dakboard calendar. And once you get it working, Google TV has a cool feature where you simply hit the back button on the remote from the home screen to turn on the screensaver. Highly recommend!
