Comments on FCast Receiver for Android

★★★★☆ E K · Sep 10, 2024

Works fine except 1. The QR code scanner in GJay can't scan the QR code from the FCast Receiver app (the QR code in Receiver is too small to scan) and 2. The Receiver app doesn't have an option to change screen rotation (horizontal or vertical) without enabling autorotation - there should be a button in the play/pause overlay to switch between rotations

Do I need to have an Androidtv to use fast cast? Because I tried manually putting my tvs ip address in gray jay to cast but it won't show up. Casting through YouTube still works fine though. Oh and I have a Samsung smart tv if that's relevant.

★☆☆☆☆ yosri navyfield · Dec 27, 2025

Much needed application but very bad execution. Why is it listening all the time with no way to disable it? I had to uninstall it just because it doesn't have an On / Off button and the permanent notification clutter when not used.

Trust & Safety: Permissions cover networking, display overlays, foreground service, and boot/restart behavior (e.g., ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, INTERNET, FOREGROUND_SERVICE, SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED). No location or sensitive contact access is listed. The combination of FOREGROUND_SERVICE and SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW suggests background streaming capabilities, which is common for casting apps. Overall, permissions align with streaming/UX needs and do not indicate unusual data collection.
