    wish i had known about this device sooner. i love it. allows me to watch sports and hbo on big flat screen with excellent quality. the hbo part is a bonus because i don't subscribe but use a friend's hbogo sign-on. live streaming on my laptop sometimes is all chopped up and virtually unwatchable, but it's excellent on my smartphone, and with this device i can project it all to my flatscreen. great product and well worth the cost.

    This is a good small device that hides behind your TV and delivers some great basic popular apps to you TV. Easy set up but you need a smart phone or tablet (required) The only thing i think inconvenient is the power adapter. if you have your TV hung up on the wall you need to run the power line for the device.

    The product was pretty easy to set up and use, but the streaming was extremely choppy. The connection was great, but the playback was not good.

    I have no regret for this purchase and although I barely use it because I pick up a smart TV when I got it... it never fails when it's time to bring my phone to life on my hdtv. Great gadget!

    Chromecast provides the best and most value option to mirror your android tablet or phone. With Android 5.0+, Chromecast is natively supported. Best solution to show pictures, videos, web pages on TV without the clunky media boxes.

    Works well with my iPhone. Does not work on all streaming apps. But I'm sure they will be updating the compatible apps that work with chromecast.

    Chromecast works great with Netflicks, and super easy to install. It also works with non android products as well, such as iPods, iPads, and Windows devices. Only down side you need a usb port or a wall plug to go with it as well, they really don't show that in the ads or on the box. It does not work with a ton of programs either, but Google is backing it and if you love Netflicks and don't have a smart tv or other device with it, this is a nice alternative.

    Its a cool device but it won't stream from one room to the next and the device your streaming from has to be really close to modem and chromecast in order for it to show a movie properly.

    This is my second Chromecast and it works great! You don't have a remote to lose and the software fairly stable. I have and will continue to recommend this product to my family and friends.

    I got the Chromecast to broadcast my laptop to my television. I don't know if I haven't understood it enough, or if is it more limited than I thought. I can't seem to find enough use for it.

    I bought one for the TV in my room and had to run out and buy another for the TV in my living room. I don't have cable so everything I watching is online and this made things just much more convenient. Especially after getting the App that lets me stream video files so I can download movies on my computer in my room and just instantly play them in the living room, no more having to put them on a USB stick and on my tablet to play on the living room TV.

    I have several streaming devices, I gave one of these to a friend that was low on cash and he loved it. I have since bought 2 additional ones, 1 that stays connected to my big screen and another that stays in my computer bag. Google is constantly improving the device but their contention with iOS where there is no screen sharing like the Apple TV can do is frustrating. The device though is Neat and compact and is a permanent feature of my computer bag.
