EZ MODE for streaming
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely easy to setup and use. Streaming from computer, iOS, and/or android devices makes it an all around worthwhile tech tool to have.
I would recommend this to a friend Rated 3 out of 5 stars
It works but...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think this works for whoever doesn't own a smart tv or a PS4 but if you don't really need it, if you were able to access everything on your phone now that would be a whole different story..

Great way to stream from computer to TV.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player is a handy device. If we want to stream a program from our computer to the television for a wider viewing audience we can more simply now.

Excellent product for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can't beat netflix and YouTube on any tv for $35. Super easy to setup, but typing passwords and login info is difficult. Typing any text is difficult.

Perfect for youtube and movies
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Set up through a pc was a little time consuming, but the tech support was really helpful. Mostly got it to watch movies from my pc, but the streaming from supported sites is really cool.

Doesnt do what I hoped
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought I''d be able to use this to download some TV apps instead of a cable box to watch on TV instead of tablet. This works very good for what it actually is which is to cast certain apps onto your TV. Other than Netflix, Youtube and a few others its not of much use. I would not recommend this to anybody. I would recommend an Android dongle instead. Only consolation is that it wasn't too expensive. Other than that dont waste your money on this.

Not bad if you don't have a smart TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great if you don't have a smart TV. You can cast almost anything to your TV from your tablet or phone. Recommended to use chrome if casting from PC.

Poor product, not useful.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this specifically to pair with my laptop, chromebook and android devices. Unfortunately it is not compatible with the chromebook (I know right?) and has really limited abilities via the chrome browser on the laptop. Only get this if you do not already have a streaming solution (like a smart tv or blu ray which we do) because it adds no value and has a power supply which sticks out a ton if you have the hdmi port on the side of your TV...

Great tool for You Tube users
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Chrome cast is a very handy and simple way to broadcast You Tube to your TV. I use it primarily from my Ipad, and once is set up it is very easy to use.

Easy to use and connect.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before purchasing the ChromeCast stick, I had another device, this one seems easier to use and less wires. Connects easy to your network and transfer from one device to another with easy.

it works but why?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After all the rave reviews for this I picked one up to play with (it came free with a router I purchased) Setup is fairly straightforward and went smoothly. Beyond that, I am not sure why this is necessary. It requires external power and an HDMI port. For another $15 you could pick up a Roku that has the same requirements and doesn't have the one HUGE downside of the chromecast. Big downside. It requires an external source to "cast" to it. This literally does nothing unless you have a phone or tablet to connect to it with the exception of pretty wallpaper and the time as far as I can tell. I found this to be annoying and honestly seemed to make this a mostly pointless device. Only some things will "cast" and everything that does work can be accomplished with any of the other 10 devices hooked into my system already (Roku, AppleTV, Xbox, PS etc) I gave it three stars because it does work well within its limitations but honestly I think a $50 Roku is a better buy than $35 for this. If I had not gotten it for free I would have returned it.
