Description
Cast videos to Chromecast & Nexus Player. Play videos from Split Browser on big screens!
Imagine if you could watch videos and write emails at the same time using your tablet! Or compare two web pages side by side, or take notes alongside a web page. Well, you can do all of that and more!
Split Browser is two browsers in one, working side by side. It lets you browse two web pages independent of each other. You can open links from one half into the other half. It also includes a notepad that allows you to take notes from a web page. You can open multiple tabs and swap them between two halves. You can also resize the two halves to suit your needs. Simply put, it is a powerful tool for multitasking.
Best suited for tablets and "phablets".

CHROMECAST & NEXUS PLAYER:
Requires Google Play services (4.2 or above) to be enabled. Look under Android Settings > Applications. Not all videos can be cast (Flash videos, YouTube, live streams, etc). Low resolution videos might not look the same on your HD TV as they look in a small screen. Play videos in full view to cast.
UPDATE 7/30/14: YouTube videos will not cast in Android 4.4 devices, please use the YouTube app.

Samsung galaxy note 10.1 Customer service is awesome. I like going on Amazon and being able to open another brower for Ebay to compare prices and going to other bookstores to compare prices. This app is awesome. I also clicked on regular browser and opened it in multiwindow with split window browser and had 3 brower windows open. Great fun and very useful. Thanks for great app. Well worth the asking price. Plus I liked that they had a trial version so I could be sure it would work on my tablet. The new 2014 galaxy has a split browser function but I do not have to upgrade to a more expensive tablet to get it.

Great Nexus 10 Dual Active Window Browser This dual window browser works well and is fast and provides two active browser windows for viewing or comparing two web pages and is a great addition to the normal one page browser.

Disapointed it doesn't support Chromecast for android 4.2.1. One of the reasons I paid for this app after Chromecast was released in 2013 was because they were working on Chromecast support for it and promised to add Chromecast support after the Chromecast SDK was released. Now when they have finally released it it only supports the latest version of Android KitKat. Please update it to support some of the older versions of Android. KitKat wasn't even around when I saw your sample videos of it working with Chromecast.
