• The app does not support tab casting, like the Chromecast extension for the PC web browser.
• We cannot do anything to fix issues that arise on the server side (media content provider) such as failure to play or buffering, which is especially common during heavy load times and weekends.
• Refunds are only issued within 24 hours of purchase and you must submit the order number in text, not a screenshot.

Excellent app. Highly recommend it for all your casting needs. Sometimes you gotta restart wifi or your phone to pick up a signal from a Roku device, but they introduced a faster method of restarting wifi, so they're proactive about making sure this app is convenient to use. Premium was well worth the purchase.

I used to use this app on a regular basis. Now every web video buffers to the point that it's unwatchable. I can watch a web video on my phone or laptop with no issue. If I try to use this app to cast that same video to my TV it buffers non-stop. I've since uninstalled and changed my 4 star rating to a 1. Looking for alternatives atm.

Paid premium for this garbage. Most websites will cast from Chrome, but when I try to use them through this app, it won't keep a proper connection. I'll go back to using chrome and casting extensions on my laptop, this isn't worth it. Doesn't matter how many reports you submit, nothing gets fixed. If the website can cast from Chrome, and can load the video just fine, then despite Web Video Cast's claims, it IS MOST CERTAINLY a problem with the app. Joke of a casting app. 4 stars for visibility.
