Comments on Dashboard Screen Saver for Android

★★★★★ Brian Albiston · Feb 25, 2021

**Update 2/24/2021** The developer is very responsive and added exactly the feature I wanted. Fantastic app and fantastic support. Thank you! ** Old Review ** I really like the concept of this App, but I purchased it to use on my Chromecast w/ Google TV and I have yet to figure out how to enable it as the screensaver. I see another user was able to use developer tools to enable it, but that's beyond my technical ability. If you can make it easy to use on the Chromecast w/ Google TV it would be 5 stars and your possible user base will be much, much larger. **Update** I found a much easier way to enable this app on the Chromecast w/ Google TV. Simply install another screensaver app like Aerial Dream. Aerial Dream provides the option to change the default Chromecast w/ Google TV screensaver, and it not only gives you the option to choose Aerial Dream as your screensaver, but it will also let you select Dashboard Screen Saver as your default. Essentially you are using Aerial Dream to give you the screensaver selection control that Dashboard Screen Saver is currently lacking for the Chromecast w/ Google TV. I'm upgrading my rating to 4-stars now that I can actually enable it on my Chromecast. I'll give it 5 if the developer adds the screensaver selection built in to the app that Aerial Dream has.

This app no longer works natively with Google TV, but the developer has provided a workaround you can use if you are savvy enough to use Android adb (involves installing on a PC, wirelessly connecting to TV, and some simple command line code). Took less than 30 minutes total. Using it to display a Dakboard calendar. And once you get it working, Google TV has a cool feature where you simply hit the back button on the remote from the home screen to turn on the screensaver. Highly recommend!

Use to be the best app ever. Until it stoped working on Google TV.

★☆☆☆☆ Jake Williamson · Aug 12, 2022

Installed app on Chromecast. App doesn't appear to allow the setting up of this app as the Chromecast screensaver. Clicked button for "open system screensaver settings" yet nothing appears to have happened. Is it supposed to navigate to the Chromecast settings or just sit there? Was able to change other settings, however, seems to actually do nothing.
