Compatibility with new, fast wi-fi is an issue
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device worked fine while I used an old, slow wi-fi system. But, it doesn't work with the newer, much faster wi-fi systems like Orbi's that I recently installed. So, buyer beware!

Disappointing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It functions as designed, but it's not as practical as I thought it would be... and with a smart TV, it's really quite useless. You're better off getting a Roku!

It does a fair job but connectivity is flakey.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At times the apps would loose connectivity with the devise. Was very annoying to constantly reconnect.

Did not worl

Great for travel compact size
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to connect with hotel wifi during my travels and found out that the hotel blocks their signal so it will not work. You would need to use your own wifi to enable this unit.

Pretty good but needs an update
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only format I could find to connect to Google play. The wifi thu put is sketchy at best. Stop, start, skip. SD video play back was okay, but forget HD content streaming. My two cents.

Doesn't stream content itself
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't realize that it isn't a streaming stick; it only projects content that you have pulled up on your device. It's also a little laggy unless you have some blazing fast wifi at home.

It works, but always better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am the owner of a both an Amazon Fire TV Stick and a Google Chromecast. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I do prefer the Amazon Fire TV Stick with more functionality.

Chromecast was alright.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not very impressed with this product. It took a while to pair with my Google home and once it was paired there wasn't that many options. I would not recommend this product.

Doesn't play well with others
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you just use Google this is probably good for you. I use Amazon prime for many movie purchase on my kids Kindle Fires, but I can't access them unless I use a browser window.

Works OK
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works OK, but slow. Communication with PC and router, only about 13 feet away, poor and unreliable. Haven't used it again since the first time I set it up two months ago.

Chromecast only works with WiFi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't have WiFi at my home but was told at Best Buy that as long as my cell phone's data and the hot spot options were on Chromecast would be able to connect to my cell phone and use it as WiFi network. I tried setting this up but Chromecast does not pick up my phone as an available WiFi network. Maybe I missed something. I also have a HD TV with built in WiFi direct and the TV does pick up my phone as a WiFi network. No problems connecting to my phone using my TV. I would only recommend buying Chromecast if you have WiFi.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The streaming apps available for this device are limited, especially when compared to ROKU's offerings. It's small footprint is a plus.

not for me
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this product may be cool, but it did not work for me or with my technology so I had to return it the next day; no biggie, just make sure your stuff is compatible.

Some wifi signal strength issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent device, but it seems to have a bit of trouble with wifi signal strength in our facility. Other devices in the same area have reasonable signal, but this drops signal frequently.

Unreliable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it works, it's great. But it's constantly disconnecting from the control device and has to be rebooted constantly. Get a Roku instead.

Underwhelming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this device would be great but is useless. I could connect my apple devices better than my google PIxel (Google to Google)

must plug into outlet, unlike the old usb style
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not aware that you had to have this model plugged into an outlet, I had the previous usb version which was more convenient. Overall it works well for what it is intended for.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for free with the purchase of my google pixel xl, it only works half the time, mostly my devices won't find it or connect to it.

Gets the job done but had connection issues
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the summary says: it gets the job done but there are lots of connection issues. I feel like every other time I'm using it there's problems with it, but it still works!
