| 2024-11-05 |  | | Doesn't work on samsung s24 ultra?! Ok Don't even have a possibility to try this falling app |
| 2024-11-02 |  | | always says not compitable though my phone has android 14 on it, it's samsung a54 |
| 2024-09-16 |  | | 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. |
| 2021-07-01 |  | | 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. |
| 2021-02-01 |  | | On my Sony TV, the factory installed version (1.47.216070) I couldn't get many websites, most notably Netflix, to successfully cast from Chrome off a laptop. The dedicated app for said site would attempt to load (three pulsing red dots) and then fail, crashing back to the home screen. With this update, that's not even an option -- trying to cast those sites that previously failed now instead triggers Chromecast Mirroring for that tab...which also frequently fails. I don't understand why this experience is so much worse than with a dedicated Chromecast device. |
| 2020-11-23 |  | | This is the worst Google product I have used. I bought my TV just for this feature, and it's entirely unusable. Videos play in slow motion, and end up going out of sync with audio. From reading through the reviews, it seems it is a common problem, not just something wrong with my TV. I tried opening the link that the support team had provided to others encountering the same problem. The page lists phone numbers to call. For the United States, the number is supposedly available "Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week". The response I received was "We are closed right now, please call during our normal business hours". I got in touch with the customer support team and carried out the many debugging steps that they suggested, with no luck. I am now hoping for some help from the manufacturer, even though it is not a problem specific to my manufacturer, based on other reviews to this app. |
| 2020-11-13 |  | | Working well enough in my Humax Aura UHD PVR. The only thing I wish it had alongside the other Chromecasts in my house was the ability to set the Ambient mode to stream photos from my albums. Such as shame that this is missing as I love looking at photos of my kids growing up etc when they spontaneously appear on the Chromecast ambient feed for my stand alone Chromecasts. |
| 2020-09-20 |  | | I have a sony X90H android tv. just got it. The only thing that isnt working is adding the tv to my home speaker group. A few things Using the current version 1.50.227001 The TV shows up in google home. i can cast moveis and music directly to the TV, just it would cast with the rest of the speakers in the home group as the tv doesnt show up in my speaker groups avaiable devices to add. I have deleted and readded the group. Same thing. |
| 2020-09-13 |  | | Complete trash... Pretty annoying that I bought this TV in part because of the built in Chromecast, but it works horribly. I have gigabit internet, get 450 mbps on Wifi, my router is 4 FT away from the TV and the video plays in slow motion... I have no problem streaming 4K from other apps or through my Xbox. |
| 2020-06-24 |  | | I have an android tv named nikai with android version 4.4.4.I am not able to cast my mobile youtube to my android tv. i have searched alot on this matter. coming to the conclusion i found we need google built in chromecast for it. Unfortunately the version of my tv do not support the chromecast app. There is no available version of chromecast on play store. i tried some version of chromecast from other sources, but they didnt work too. hence what i would like to request is to suggest/provide any other alternative for the problem. thank you |
