    I think this product is great for the price but definitely needs more apps to make it better.

    Really good product for Android device users. Works 90% of the time and integrates well with all of my Samsung gear. Would give it 5 starts if it worked every time.

    I love the idea but the connection is not stable at times but that could be due to WiFi and not the Chrome Cast. Wish it had a longer wire from the Tv to the wall

    A little tricky to install because you have to install behind the television. My television is wall mounted big screen TV. But it's all worth the hardship once installed.

    I'm disappointed that I can't throw things I'm watching online, like WATCHTNT, for example, to the chromecast without a lag. So I'm glad I only payed $35 for it. But I was able to download something on my kindle fire and use avia, which cost another $2.99, to throw it to the chromecast, to watch it on my tv and that worked beautifully!

    Only thing I dislike about it is the fact that both the chromecast and the device you are streaming from (in my case my cell phone) have to be connected to the same WiFi router. Other than that I love it.

    Like so many other guys out there, I was struggling to find something that wasn't just going to be tossed aside for my groomsmen. That's when I came across the Chromecast. Best Buy made it easy to order online and pick up in store, and even better was the reaction from each of my groomsmen! I purchased these in 2013 and the guys still comment on how good of a gift it was.

    Almost everything now days is happening through our phones.This makes the reality of Google chromecast awesome. The fact that many networks through apps are accommodating chromecast is a plus as well.

    It works seamlessly with my MacBook Pro laptop and HTC M8 smart phone. The best part is that I can use either one of my devices to do other things while they are casting media to the TV. It's awesome!

    I wasn't a believer, until I jumped off the fence. We are an Apple family, and I have a couple Apple TV's in the house. I was considering purchasing 2 Apple TV's for my kids rooms, then read about the Chromecast, for $35.00!! It does exactly what I wanted it to do. They can stream from their tablets and phones right to their TV's. It meets the needs of what I wanted for them and then some. "Affordable Simplicity"

    There are some glitches and often difficulties reconnecting after connecting the chromecast at a friend's house and away from the primary wi-fi you want to use it on.

    Very easy to set up and use as long as you have android systems and the only downfall is unless you have extremely fast Internet speeds on wifi it runs very slow.

    I was skeptical about the device since it came out, but now that I tried it I really like the functionality. Easily displays web pages from my laptop and apps from my galaxy S5. Definitely worth the $35.
