Comments on R-Cast for Android

★★★★★ Works great with my Roku box. I use it daily.
★★★★★ The app works some time, but it keeps shutting off.
★★★★★ I paid for radical and it keeps cutting off
★★★★★ Inverse taste, honor total of burr beast an.answers.
★★★★★ Working great would love to try vr live dating ect...
★★☆☆☆ What a waste of money and storage space. I paid for the upgrade. Videos only played for a few seconds then it would stop casting. As far as I can tell this app is a web browser disguised as a screencasting app.
★★☆☆☆ Wow, no option at all to cast. Upgrade to cast for more than 10 minutes.
★★☆☆☆ Here's another at haplessly created app. That did not work with my Roku 2 XD streaming box. This app will probably work with newer Roku streaming boxes but not older legacy streaming boxes. I put this app to the test on my Roku 2 XD streaming box, and it failed, miserably. It is actually best to stick to the webcasting tv streaming app, or an Roku approved a mirror/casting app.

Description by Appestry Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Cast online videos from your Android device to Roku! This app is intended to help cast videos embedded in websites that don't have a Roku channel.

Install the R-Cast channel and R-Cast app in your Roku and Android devices respectively. Once you connect the devices to the same Wi-Fi network, this app will detect your Roku devices.

Browse the web for videos in the Android app and cast them to the Roku channel. It's that easy!

Please note that not all videos can be cast including HTTPS, Flash videos, live streams. If you see R-Cast channel load the video and return to the home screen it is usually because of incompatible video format. Roku doesn't play all video formats that play in Android devices.

Videos in the web that are not in high definition, might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. If the video website already has a Roku channel, please use its channel.

YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 and newer devices, please use the YouTube app.

Quick Start:
* Install R-Cast channel in your Roku device: https://my.roku.com/add/rcast
* Install R-Cast app in your Android device
* Connect your Android device to the same Wi-Fi network as your Roku device
* The app will detect Roku devices in your network
* Browse the web for your favorite entertainment
* In Android 4.3 or earlier, play videos in full view for the cast menu
* In Android 4.4 or later, just start videos to launch the cast menu
* Select the Roku device to cast and voila!
* Enjoy videos on the big screen!!

Upgrade to the RADICAL edition to watch videos longer than 10 minutes and resume previous video casts. The upgrade removes the ads at the bottom of the browser. It doesn't remove the ads hosted by the websites you visit.

Please make sure the websites you frequent play in R-Cast channel before upgrading to the RADICAL Edition. R-Cast channel only works with the R-Cast app.
