The app is working as expected, use as a chrome cast audio since Google stopped selling it. I only give 4 stars because when casting to the cast receiver we can not change the volume on the cast device. Hopefully the next update will fix that issue.

Useful App... Had slight lag during casting YouTube or other videos from apps, but I found a fix. First I cast android screen and while it's running without shuting cast option I again chose to cast the video from OTT app. It auto adjusted the video bitrate and casting was smooth now. Might be a bug but this trick worked for me.

This works after last update, real nice too. Got it running on s10, then I either use a doc station via hdmi to TV or Bluetooth speaker. Then I take my s22 and use apple, or YouTube music and just cast that mf right to it. The hdmi provides better sound plus the UHQ REALLY ADDS THE CHERRY 🍒 Just hooked it up to my old Motorola x, maaaan this app has upped my ability to play music other than just Bluetooth. GOOD WORK. Think I'm falling in love with this. This a poor man app 🤣 I<3IT

It worked perfectly fine when I downloaded it to cast YouTube music to the device. Immediately paid for the premium, and now it just won't connect anymore.

Installed, was told I get 5 minutes of casting on a trial version, immediately uninstalled. Stupid paywall app. Predatory to only mention that after install.

Well, it just DOESN'T WORK. No support. The help function sends you to a how-to article which gives such inane tips as "Try turning Chromecast on and off several times" and sends you to a device compatibility list that doesn't exist. Avoid entirely. I've tried it on a Pixel 7 / Android 13, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / Android 12, Pixel / Legacy OS / Android 12, and a Pixel 3 / Legacy OS / Android 12. And I'm pretty good at getting stuff to work.
