Reviews Summary
Users have mixed opinions about the Web Video Cast app; many appreciate its functionality, ease of use, ad-blocking capabilities, and excellent streaming quality, even praising the support team. However, some users are frustrated with persistent bugs, frequent intrusive ads, buffering issues, compatibility problems, and degraded performance over time.
Seems to work great so far. Will probably pay for the full version soon. Good work developer! Discovered a problem: Many of the random forced video advertisements are rather violent, gory and disturbing. I just saw another one and started thinking that I could get nightmares from it! Seems 18+! I will still pay to remove ads later, but for now, I am curious how bad the advertising can be! The ads can be skipped of course, but only after what seems to be quite a long time of forced viewing!

It is a very good app. it has minimal ads, that are very easy to navigate. It is very easy to set up and use on any TV (I have Samsung, LG, and Roku all set up can be done on any TV in two or three clicks. The only issue I have are some ads do make it through the app (The ads on the websites), but it does block a majority of them, along with pop-ups and redirects which makes some websites actually usable. It's a really good app👌
At first, I wasn't impressed. Far from it. Thought there were too many steps involved, and had to be entered in a certain, one way only, order. And the picture quality wasn't good. But, because I really wanted to see what was on my phone screen on my larger TV screen, I kept at it. I'd always take it from phone, and eventually, put it on the TV. It just took awhile, with backups, and a lot of try-agains. After 5 or 6 attempts, it started to click. Then, at --- trouble on comment site...
Seriously, an incredible app for casting to TV's, at least in my experience using with a Sony Bravia with chrome cast. 0 issues, the ad block works phenomenally well, and the price is absurdly fair. Highly recommended! EDIT 02/06/2025: The app still works fantastic, but for live streams it has just been stopping after a few minutes on its own, even if the websites stream is working without issue. Unsure of why this begun!
Unusable for the most part. I've been using this app since the very beginning 10 years ago. I'm a premium user as well. The same bugs that were there 10 years ago, are till present. You must refresh the page many times in order to cast,many times the subtitles are from previous movies one watched before. Also the buffering is horrendous. The app keeps blaming the server but the server is just fine. It's the app that can't keep up with the bit rate. This app is getting worse and worse every day

Have you considered contacting support on those ten years? Our email is [email protected] The app doesn't usually play part on the playback of videos, I recommend you read the buffering FAQ.
It's not as good as it used to be. This used to be my go to app for casting streamed media to random smart TVs but the last few times I've used it, file source compatibility was an issue... It would be files that have native compatibility or that have been casted previously. I know there is a lot of variation of files, sources, formats, TVs but forcing the use of apps on the target vs DLNA is (in my opinion) a significant issue for compatibility.

This is absolutely great to have and especially for new movies that you can see in theatre's. This is very convenient.....by the downfall I feel is the adds.... especially a new time customer.... need free trial for a few days ...not only that....it lags and loads way too slow sometimes.....and you have to constantly exit out and out of the movie you pick there's so many different ones.... hopefully this helps:)

been using this app for over a year and it's been a reliable and easy way to watch on my rokutv. however I'm searching for other apps now as this one is non stop buffering, stutters, and skips. I've used many different sites and it's the same issue on them all. whatever updates the devs have pushed recently has completely broken the reliability of this app which was it's strongest feature. it has no other redeeming quality after that. if i can find something that works I'll post it here.

Really not working that well lately. The subtitles have only worked for one episode, then they stopped working for the next episode. Sometimes the entire app just stops and buffers every two minutes. Sucks to see. It could be the websites I'm using but the subtitle problem is especially annoying when I want to watch anime.

I've used this app for ~7 years on multiple phones to cast to Chromecasts/Google TVs, even paid for premium. I think it's the best app to watch videos on the internet with Chromecast/Google TVs. Works a lot better than screen sharing. It does sometimes have connectivity issues. It either just won't connect or I need to force stop the app to make it connect. But that doesn't happen often enough to make me want to stop using it. I'd give this app 4.5 stars if I could.
