I want my money back. This is totally false advertising. First I bought the premium, which is supposed to give you access to everything which it doesn't. I got the app for t v screencast and lo and behold, you must buy an add on to access tv casting for 4.99. Also once complete you have to go to a website on your tv which brings up a minimized low quality casting experience. This is a ripoff. Don't download

NO STARS!!!!!! FAKE XXX RIP OFF. This app absolutely sucks. It's a shame samsung doesn't have something better. I have a samsung tv and phone. This is a rip off. I can't even cast from my phone and I got the pro. Big scam., then have the ordasity to break all the components up and charge individually. Then when you buy pro. You think you getting all the have to offer. NO. there's another version and it coat more.

One of the worst examples of paywalled, ad-laden garbage I have encountered. Terrible, sluggish, unintuitive UI. It failed to cast a single video to TV, despite the correct connection setup and forcing me to watch multiple, un-skippable ads in the process. You would have a better experience printing out your media to sheets of paper and stapling the pages to your wall. Avoid this app at all costs.
