    Wasn't very user-friendly and connecting to it was pretty hard at least in our case with our software. Definitely not as good as the Apple TV

    Great Decision for PLEX users

    I own both the original Chromecast and the 2015 model. The reason why I went ahead and purchased the 2015 model was not for its features but the ability to connect to my AC router and stream my HD quality videos from my PLEX media server to my Television FLAWLESSLY. If you are like me and have your own media database, I highly recommend it. I am an android/s6 user and have had 0 problems. With my prior Chromecast I was unable to play some of my videos and had to lower the resolution with 720p at times. PROBLEM NO MOREEE!!!

    Excellent Upgrade

    I have an old Chromecast one and it works fine but somehow if i cast through my browser i need to downgrade to 480p. The new Chromecast addresses these problems. It streams smoothly with HD quality. It can also play 4k movies (tested with youtube). Additionally they included surround sound that was missing in the previous version. Overall excellent purchase.

    The product is a good product but not for someone who already has a smart TV. No need for this product nowadays.

    Seemed to spend as much time buffering as it did properly casting a movie. Not sure if it was the units fault or my signal.

    The chromecast software is not very good. You have to download an app and mirror to the device. No streaming from the cast itself.

    Its ok, audio lags sometimes. I prefer a Amazon fire stick that can do the same thing and use apps instead of your phone
