Please fix this!!please don't mind my bad Google Assistant typing

★★☆☆☆ Christoph D · Mar 17, 2026

Great if it works, sadly it does so very unreliably (Sony Bra via 7). Generally some combination of force stopping the app, clearing cache or restarting the TV and/or casting device gets it to work again, but that's just annoying.

★☆☆☆☆ Shivam Roy · Feb 15, 2023

The most awful APK. It doesn't even get connected with TV for casting the screen. nowadays, it always shows that my TV is not compatible to cast the display. Kindly fix this problem.
