    Was great at EVERYTHING except casting from an iPad to the device. Had to return it because that is why I got it for in the first place. A sweet piece of tech though other than that. Do not hesitate to buy it if you do not need to cast from an iOS device. Price is the right sweet spot at $50

    Great Upgrade, but hid some old features

    Great upgrade from a second generation Chromecast. Nice to be able to watch content in 4k now without the need of using my TVs integrated apps. Only complaint is that they really prioritize usage of the new remote. Thie mainly takes away the ability for you to change the Chromecast volume via your phone's volume buttons without having to dig through the menus and find the option.

    This Chrome cast has been the best device I’ve used in a while. I have an element small tv and can’t watch YouTube or Netflix, etc. on it but with this I can do that and so much more. I unfortunately don’t have an pictures on me but Definitely worth every penny!

    Works just like a firestick. Which is good and bad. You have to go through menus more than usual. The voice operations are not as intuitive as just using your phone or Google home device and Google assistant. It works ok. I was hoping for exact functionality as chromecast with a gui like firestick. it nails the interface, but lacks in chromecast functionality compared to an actual chromecast

    Set up was a breeze, and it is a great little bit of technology to enjoy all my streaming services with the push of a button or simple verbal command. It even has anime streaming apps, (Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc) which my nerdy-self was over the moon about.

    I love this streaming device! I have actually fully converted over from my Amazon Fire Stick. The remote is designed perfectly with extremely intuitive controls, and the chromecast does everything a chromecast is supposed to do. Drop Alexa, go Google!

    This thing is so much better than the old Chromecast! It does need to be plugged in the wall and not the TV, the remote controls the TV vol as well! Has all sorts of pre loaded apps and services.

    For streamers on devices w/ less than optimal controllers [my OEM controller used ~ 2 ea. AA batteries per week] this Chromecast w/ Google TV is excellent. Good apps. Lots of user-friendly interactivity. Importantly, battery life good. Installation well-automated for my device. Good value, too.

    Love how fast the responsiveness is of the Google TV! And setup was super easy and guided all the way through. Just be prepared to have to set up each individual app which can be tedious. Remote has volume controls on the side which is a bit awkward. Having the remote is very handy though!

    Chromecast GTV Dongle is the Bomb!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is my second Chromecast with GTV I bought to put on my high-end Samsung Smart TV because its just so much better than any OS on any TV. And now that Sling is integrated into the GTV Live tab it makes the whole experience that much better. Additionally after installing the apps for your subscription services, it will give Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi type categories Netflix style but with shows from your subscriptions so you see and compare offerings across [most] of them. Not sure why you don't see all available other than it may get too crowded. Only downside is that it only comes with 4GB onboard memory and cannot add more so there is a limit to the number of subscription apps that can be loaded. Another thing I wish that Google would incorporate in the remote is the ability to change channels if you are watching OTA channels (old school style). You can turn the TV on and off, adjust the volume and change inputs, but you cant change channels.

    The best streaming stick on the market (does all the same things as the 3x more expensive Apple TV), the new Chromecast is unbeaten in my opinion. If you're on the fence, and aren't fully invested in the Apple or Amazon ecosystems, don't hesitate. This thing is a champion.

    Incredibly east to set up with a beautiful interface. Input button doesn't work well with a Roku TV - however the Chromecast as a whole is an awesome addition and is much more preferred over the Amazon Firestick.

    This is awesome device that can transform old TV to smart TV. It is easy to setup and use, response time is quick. You can also set up power and volume on the remote control so no need the original TV remote. The best part is you can switch between youtube and Netflix quickly.

    I loved chromecast for years... But this one is the best. It's actually like having a Roku TV without going out and buy one. Being able to access movie apps without picking up your phone (once you set it up). It's only $50 bucks, give it a spin... You won't feel like you've wasted your money.
