    Good product. Like that you can integrate multiple apps and use one remote. Very difficult to recall the last station watched if you are channel surfing. No ability to slow motion and if pause the picture is hard to see. But those that don't have a smart TV its much better than using your phone or table.

    Needs a channel up and down function on the remote. Vice either backings out to the main menu and then selecting the new channel or using the voice function to change channel. This is especially true when you are using your favorite channel list.

    This is the best purchase so far, definitely a big difference from the previous model. This made my tv super clear and bright. When u play movie or anything on it the images are super clean compare to your regular tv apps

    Works pretty good for casting from other devices. I don't particularly like the layout of the remote. I love/hate the white. It/apps crash occasionally, just like the competition, which is frustrating.

      Hi there, Daniel! We're glad to hear that Chromecast with Google TV (4K) has been working pretty well for you. We do apologize if some of the features like the Voice Remote layout and app fell short of meeting your expectations.

      Resetting Chromecast with Google TV (4K) may be helpful with the occasional app crash that you're experiencing. Keep in mind that resetting it will erase all data and that you may need to set it up right after the reset process. To reset, follow the steps below:
      With the Chromecast Voice Remote: In the upper right of your TV screen, select your profile and then Settings. > Select System and then About and then Factory Reset.
      From the Chromecast device:
      While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV and powered, press and hold the button on the back of the Chromecast. The LED should start to blink yellow. > When the LED light turns solid white, release the button, and the Chromecast should then reset.

      We've also taken your feedback on the Voice Remote layout and color options into consideration for future product design and releases. If you still experience the same crashing issue, we recommend contacting our support team for additional help. You're always welcome to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/gethelp madebygoogle

    Bought this after reading a lot about the Google TV. To start with it has great interface and works seamlessly with google services. the problem comes once you have enough apps installed and try to use this. got very slow and unresponsive.

      Hi Kumar,

      Thanks for letting us know of the issue with your Chromecast with Google TV. We understand that you’re experiencing performance issues and we’re here to help.

      Your Chromecast with Google TV was designed to provide you with a smooth experience. We recommend trying out some helpful steps below:
      - Ensure that your Chromecast is connected to your 5 GHz Wi-Fi network.
      - Remove other connected devices on your Wi-Fi network and see if you will still encounter the same issue. Should you verify congestion, then we recommend contacting your internet service provider for resolution.
      - We recommend a Wi-Fi network with 25 Mbps download speed that can ensure smooth 4K experience.
      - If it does not work, you may try restarting your Chromecast by going to Settings > System > Restart.
      - If it's still unresolved, perform a factory reset on the Chromecast with Google TV.
      a. While the Chromecast is plugged into the TV, hold down the button on the Chromecast device for at least 25 seconds or until the solid LED light turns into a flashing red light.
      b. Once the LED light turns blinking white and the TV goes blank, release the button. The Chromecast device will begin the reboot sequence.

      If the above troubleshooting steps didn’t help, then we recommend reaching to our support team so we can figure out a solution to improve your experience here:

    This product does exactly what I thought it would and need it to do. However, not a fan of the remote. Can’t get it to turn on tv, too sensitive and does not always pause programs.

    Setting up the device was easy. So was the purchase. I ordered it online for store pickup the next morning. I texted when I showed up, a Best Buy employee brought it out, handed it in through the window and I was done.

    Best streaming stick/device. Prefer to have Roku built in to the TV, but if not a smart tv, then I prefer this stick. Voice search is the best in the business. Has all of the apps.

    The user experience is certainly more streamlined than other players I've used. Google TV pulls together content from multiple apps (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc.) into one landing page.

    Got this specifically to use in hotels when I travel. So awesome not having to login to Netflix, Prime, YouTube TV, and Disney+ without using the native apps on the hotel TV and possibly having my login information stored.

    Perfect combo, and love I can still cast if I want. Also, I expect apps to have longer update support on this than I do with "smart tv" built in apps. My tv isn't terribly old at all and many apps don't get updates anymore.
