Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Bluetooth connection on this is rather terrible. It's not like connecting your earbuds to a tablet or phone as far as stability goes. The audio will cut out if you are any distance from your TV. Chromecast is not designed to show you the streaming services you have so you can easily pick a show or movie. It is designed to show you what Google has been paid by your streaming services to feature. Google has hidden the streaming streaming services you subscribe to behind a lot of layers of endless clicking. You will see ads for shows first, but you have to hunt for your list of streaming services. You have scroll to the "My Apps" just to see SOME of your apps, and it's literally just one line on an entire screen and then you have to click AGAIN TO show them all. An entire TV screen is available but Google can only show me one row of apps at a time? Get out of here with that backwards coding, Google. If you side load an app it won't even show up in the My Apps section. You have to go into your account, into settings and then try to find them there. Opening up a streaming service from the home screen takes significantly longer than it should just to even get started watching a show because of all the endless layers of user interface that bury access to your list of services. My guess is this is done so Google can extract maximum advertising money for your eyeballs. You will see what Google wants you to see, not what you want to see. The other major competitor's device is significantly easier for use. Your apps will be right on the first screen on a R O K U brand device, easy to find. Not on this Chromecast disaster.

it's a good new chromecast with google 4k. i would recommend

Can’t say enough good things about Chromecast w/Google TV. Together with a subscription to YouTube TV, I get all the good things about my current cable arrangement...typical cable channels, all my local channels, and a channel guide (yes...a real channel guide!). But I also get unlimited DVR so I can record everything I want to watch. It also seamlessly integrates my favorite streaming sites such as Netflix, Disney+, etc. so I can resume watching a show or series right from the Home Screen. Once I set this it up I never went back to my cable box. The best part is that I’m saving $150 per month by dropping cable and a landline that was only used for span calls.

This is great, I love this device. It brings together all the shows/movies that may appeal to you, in one place. So no going and searching through each individual app - Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, etc. It’s user friendly as the interface is easy to navigate.

It was good and the remote censors are perfect never a frequency difference found.

Awesome gadget to have..good to cast easy to search contents and best part is compatible for 4K contents which is main reason I bought this device

This is so easy to set up and use. It is really reliable.

This is a product that should have released long back. It’s priced well and I like that it has Android TV built in, WITH a remote, which makes it far more useful than the standard Chromecast.

Good performance so far. The build is good and product has good features.

Very happy with this purchase! Was loyal to Roku for so many years, but since it's taken them so long to add HBO Max to their channel lineup, I had to find an alternate method. Works great!

Works great...easy to install and load apps to view. Glad I purchase as my current TV did not have SmartCast. Now able to watch all these NEW streaming sites. Would recommend this item.

I have 2 pro versions and 1 original which I will soon upgrade. The remote is easy to use and the apps are great for my TV. I use this new Chromecast in my motorhome and it's great!

Purchased this unit to add Android TV to my family room. This unit features the latest interface which they've named "Google TV" I personally don't like it. It's buggy compared to my other Android TV units. I also prefer the old interface abit more as I like being able to install my streaming apps and having a similar experience to that of my Android phone. This tries to blend it all together into a more unified entertainment focused fashion. I'm sure it will get there eventually after some updates. However, I'd suggest you save your money. There are many other excellent options available currently from the TiVo Stream 4K to Roku. I'd get one of those over this for the price. Google has a way of launching things in beta and working out the kinks over time. If you don't mind the initial phase, I'm sure eventually this unit will be well worth it. It's just not there yet.

The remote is a nice add, and love the promise google tv has. It really just needs a bit more work for seamless connectivity. Too many glitches from time to time on connection or menu staying up while casting v playing off the screen menu.

Great device for a guest room to make your subscription services available via remote. With the new kid features, this is also great for a kids room with self-guided access.

This Chromecast with Google TV is great. I really enjoy that they added a free game section to the app lineup, I can also speak my request for shows.The only downside is I still need my TV remote to turn the power off and you can't access their Stadia platform.

Amazing...didnt know something like this existed. So easy to use...love this (makes the garage TV is as functional as all others).

I purchased this because I heard that it works better than other brands. Pulled out my old brand and bam haven’t went back since.

I mean this is made by google so we already know it’s made for the geek gods!! Easy to use and setup, it’s time to 86 those antiquated chrome cast and get you one of these puppies.

It gets really hot after 3hrs of use, you can feel the aura of heat around it, but software wise I love the layout and how easy it is to navigate through the apps i have.
