Convenient way to stream movie and TV show apps on your TV through an iPad or mobile device. Why pay for channels you never watch. Set up can take some time, but once connected to your home WiFi it's all set. I have yet to figure out how to get local (free HD) broadcasting, although most have a free news app. Many apps require a monthly subscription fee $$$, some require log-in thru your cable subscription, while others are free. Do the math....

I love it I wish it just was able to support more media types. Overall very pleased with purchased. I am going to buy one for everyone in the house

Chromecast is great, but it's important to understand what it does and does not do. It essentially does two things: (1) it plays media, triggered by another device (laptop, iPhone, Android tablet, etc.) and (2) it mirrors a Chrome browser session. What's important to understand is that, if you're in YouTube app on your phone and send a video to Chromecast, it doesn't play the video through your phone; rather, it takes a command from your phone, pulls up YouTube, and plays the video. That means that both your phone and the Chromecast need to have access to the Internet. Alternatively, you can use the mirroring feature through a browser window, in which case, only your casting device requires access to the Internet. This is important to understand when traveling on guest networks and when considering Chromecast for cord-cutting. Essentially, what Chromecast does is turn a dumb TV or a monitor into a smart TV. As more TVs come with Fire, Roku, Google, etc. built-in, a Chromecast will only be needed if you prefer the Google interface over what comes built-in. Still technologically amazing how much Google does with a tiny USB-powered device.

This works great if your looking to cut the cord. YouTube & Pandora work excellent and it even has app suggestions to help find new entertainment.

This has opened up a new world of viewing possibilities in our living room. This our second Chromecast which is no longer wired between the Chromecast box and the HDMI attacment. The remote is incredibly small we have ours attached to the top of the box with a loop of invisible packing tape. Only requiring changing back to TV after (but not prior to) streaming.

I ordered this based on reviews and have to say that it is an impressive little device. The install and setup was straight forward, and interface was easy to use. With all that said, I returned it because it wasn't exactly what I was looking for and went with the Roku Stick. Having to use a phone to run everything on this was just not a viable solution when my kids wanted to watch programs. Would recommend this if you're using your phone to run it though.

This is a great little product. Be aware that this does need to be hooked up to power in order for it to work. Either by an usb that you may have on you tv if it's newer or by an outlet near-by.

This is the best, good price, good quality best performance

It is a wonderful product.... sometimes I have a hard time finding an app to link my devices that will stay connected but when I do it is awesome.

I have the old version and love the new one works just as well. But old technology does not work with the new one. You should update your tablet.

This is actually my second Chromecast - my first being the original version. This is a great upgrade over the original - better wi-fi performance and support for AC and 5GHz bands, so if you've got a capable router, it'll make the experience that much better. It's easy to set up and if you stream things online, and don't have a smart TV, it's a must-have.

My son loves it. Easy to use. Easy to setup. More choices to watch.

Absolutely love it. Works great with no lag. I searched everywhere to find if it needs WiFi, but found out on my own it surely does.

This product works fine with all devices and performance is awesome.

The Chromecast is a good buy for anyone looking to cast movies/videos or any type of device onto their TV. My wife and I love that our options from mobile to TV are almost endless.

The chromecast is compact and super easy to use and works great.

It’s very easy to setup and works really well with my Samsung s6

Easy to setup, adds great value to any non smart TV with a HDMI input.

This device is so convient. I watch Netflix some times before I fall asleep and it's kind of hard to see a remote in the dark, but I can control the volume, my netflix, and other apps like Vudu or Sling right from my phone. Not only that but my friend can control it with their phones when they're over or I can take it to my family's house and use it there.

Easy to use and super super easy to setup, would highly recommend.
