It works very slow in my home WiFi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned it because the streaming was too slow in my home WiFi, maybe the problem was that my WiFi connection is too slow or it was the Chromecast!!!!.
I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:App compatibility

Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great for connecting other mobile devices with your TV. Be forewarned that you must have wifi set up through your home; it won't connect to your phone network

Chromcast won't work without wifi
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Can only be used with wifi, nowhere on the box says that you must be able to receive wifi. Product is useless in areas where you cannot connect to wifi.

Ok product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cast is smooth from YouTube but other channels or live stream are very choppy and lag. How well it works for you depends on what you are trying to cast.

Not ready for prime time.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As long as you're streaming something from YouTube it works fine, because it streams it direct from the website and you just control it from your device. If you want to stream something from another website by casting your browser window to the TV, it doesn't work well at all. I had hoped it would work similarly to AirPlay on my AppleTV, but it does not. I returned the item for a refund.

Nice idea, but limited
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the idea of being able to view stuff on my tv, but it's a bit limited in what is available app-wise. Hopefully they will continue to add more apps.

It's ok.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the product is ok. After I figured out it wasn't what I was looking for I rarely use the product. I feel it was a waste of my money to be honest.

Limited
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was hoping that indie developers would be allowed to create apps for Chromecast so I could do more than just stream Netflix. So far, Google is making a point of shutting access to 3rd party apps. My guess (and general concensus) is that big media doesn't want it allowed so people must stream their content. I can't recommend this item unless this changes. Roku is still a better option.

cool
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using this for a few weeks now. It does what it is suppose to but the software needs more work. It is a little buggy but has great potential.

Works as expected.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I, an Apple user, needed a way for guests to transmit stuff to our TV sets. The product worked as expected but was hard to set up on some Droid devices.

Chromecast
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what it is suppose to do. Only thing that I didn't like was that it has to be connected to the electricity. Wireless would have been better.

Great way to get Netflix from your iPad to TV
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A great idea in theory, but you have to really understand the fundamentals of how 'settings' works. No instructions and the web help isn't very helpful.

Needs Work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The idea of it is great but if only it would do what its intended to do. I've had a bit of problems with it. One minute it works great and I'm amazed by it then 5 minutes later it stops work, and it freezes. I have to restart the thing all the time it seems to only work for a bit before it messes up not sure if its just mine. This isn't as great as the made it out to be.

Great idea poor support
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a easy and great tool to view Netflix or YouTube on TV but it needs some 3rd party support. I hope developers are creating apps for this product.

Returned this to store for refund
