Maybe because I’m an Apple TV user, but found this not as intuitive. Went back to Apple TV.

I had the first generation for my theater and I figured I should upgrade but I was disappointed when the screen kept going grey. It got to a point where I just replaced it with my original chromecast. Paid $35 for less than a month of the thing working.

Tried screen casting from the laptop...but pretty laggy. Bandwidth doesn't seem be the issue.

It was supposed to be easy to use but it wasn’t and so far, too difficult to get it to run smoothly.

Well all this does is let your IPhone connect to the TV! The program is hard to learn and get's extremely frustrating to get a movie. (I actually haven't gotten one yet) They force you to upgrade and it still doesn't work! You need to buy the movies and shows any way so I will stick with Netflix!

This seems to lag substantially during use. You need quite fast internet in order for this to function properly

I purchase this for working with the Slingbox 500. It did not work very well with it at all. It would work for a few minutes then disconnect from internet. Ended up getting the Roku Streaming Stick which worked great and you are able to do a lot more with the Roku for $5 more on cost.

I purchased this item to stream Netflix, Youtube etc... The lag was so terrible that I was unable to watch a complete episode. I usually do not have any issues with lag but may have just been my internet provider experiencing problems.

Had high hopes going in but this is much to frustrating to keep. We will be returning it for something that is dependable with Sling. Too many error interrupts and picture quality degradations.

The store rep told me I can use this to what movies from my phone to my tv. I asked if it had to be a chrome cast app and he said no. Long story short yed, it needs to be a app that is affiliated with chrome cast. Look at the apps on the box and don't ask the sales guy
