Doesn't work on samsung s24 ultra?! Ok Don't even have a possibility to try this falling app

The latest version (3.72.425634) does not work with my Sony TV for casting screen from my phone. Uninstalling updates - and getting all the way back to 1.56.292394 - makes casting screen of my phone work again.

Chromecast (3rd gen) CAN NOT stream live feeds reliably 5 feet from a Google Nest Wifi router! It keeps popping up with the on screen player controls, for a live stream that has no control, that effectively blacks out the bottom half of the screen for up to 10 seconds making the video useless. Because the device works off wifi, any packet loss and your stuck looking at the player controls indefinitely. The new Google Chromecast (3rd gen) and all Nest products have a wifi connectivity issue. I own many Google wifi devices, from the original Google thermostat and the new learning to the new Nest Yale lock and Nest wifi, and every single "Nest" product or 3rd gen Chromecast has to be reset at least twice a month to re-establish a wifi connection. The original google thermostat and original chromecast and every other wifi device has been flawless for months on end. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of money on this troublesome product line.
