This is amazing to change your regular TV to an Amazing smart TV. It works great with your phone, All you have to do is download the Google Home app and then you can connect your phone to it, even if it is an Apple. The only problem is that sometimes it freezes and I am not sure why, but when I want to use it and turn on the TV it is freezed, but all I have to do is restart it and it resets in less than 3 minutes.

Hi mapenaar,
Thanks for your valuable feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue with your Chromecast.
If you’re encountering performance and quality issues when trying to cast content, please try the following:
- Toggle Wi-Fi off/on your phone. - Exit any battery-draining applications that are running on the background. - Turn off power saving mode on your device. - Decrease the distance between the TV, casting device (phone/tablet/computer), and Wi-Fi router. The distance should be less than 15-20 feet (5-6 meters) apart, ideally within the same room. - Keep your phone’s operating system up to date. - Unplug both the Chromecast and the router from the power outlet and leave it for at least 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, plug it back in, and wait for it to completely reboot.
The above steps generally fix freezing issues with your Chromecast but if the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to us here: https://support.google.com/chromecast/contactflow and we’ll provide you with further assistance to resolve it.

We use this to stream videos and movies on our iPhone to our TV. When visitors come and share videos, we use this to stream. Our friends and us use Youtube to stream our videos and it is so useful to use this. The processor on the chrome cast is faster than that of the built in software on the TV. This also turns our TV on for us.

If you don't mind having your mobile device present and running your entertainment all the time, this is excellent. Personally, it's just better to have the apps on your tv, but if you don't have the capability, this is an excellent work around.

This is so easy to set up, easy to use, and works amazing for streaming whatever you want to a television rather than having a bit set up or a bunch of other stuff.
Everything you could want is able to be streamed rather than being limited and having youtube stream battles is super fun with friends!

Wish I had found this sooner?! We have one older model tv that didn’t allow us to cast videos, Netflix, etc. from our phones & other devices. This device has solved that problem with easy setup and use. Same quality picture as if we were watching directly from the tv itself. Happy with this purchase.

I had a broken laptop lying around. So I salvaged its LCD, connected it to a control board and used it as a secondary monitor. Later bought a chrome case. Now i own a smart TV. In a market where casting devices are inbuilt into the LEDs these days, I believe the cast devices are meant for cheap DIY products like these and its works like a charm. Having it with a google home devices as a partner enhances the experience greatly. I would totally recommend this.

My son requested this for his dorm. He uses his laptop and iPhone for almost all his entertainment like Netflix and music. Sometimes he will have friends over and it is difficult to share the phone screen. By using the Chromecast, it was easy for him to cast whatever he is watching on his TV. Just plug it in the HDMI port and cast. Easy,

I really like this device for streaming with the Chrome browser. It allows you to stream content to your smart TV et al from websites by using Google's Home app with the "Mirror device" option. This way even when a website doesn't have a Chromecast icon displayed, you can still stream it onto your smart TV with this product.

Super easy to hook up! I set it up through google home and was able to cast right away. The scenery pictures on the home screen while nothing is casting are beautiful. Let those play on a rainy day... You got yourself a relaxing time

At first I was skeptical about setting up this product thinking it wouldn't work but I just connected the HDMI port and plugged it in, set up my TV name, Wifi and boom. Instant entertainment from my phone to the TV. A lot easier control than one of those magic remotes. Now I can enjoy Starz, YouTube, Netflix, etc. effortlessly.

Use these units specifically for chromecasting on conference room tv's. Occasionally have to restart them, but have much better reliability than TV's with the built in chromecast feature. I'd rather buy a TV without the feature and add this secondarily for an extra few dollars

Works great to show content from your cell phone on a non-smart tv. Once you send a stream to the tv, you can even turn your phone off and it continues working. Found it more appealing then Roku where they demand that you give them a credit card number just to sign up for an account.

Since I got this Chromecast, I don’t have to use anything other device and still can cast my google pixel, my iPad, my laptop to my TV to watch.
It’s so easy to set up too. I just hook it up to the USB port of my TV and use Google Home app on the phone to set up and bingo. What’s an amazing little bestie! Love it
